Sorry, I am having connection problems tonight, I will have to load the rest of the pictures tomorrow.

Tuesday

I guess I am slacking. It has been three days since I last wrote. On Sunday we went to Lighthouse Baptist Church to see a program, it was a musical taking place in the early 40's. I guess I was expecting a navtivity play, but this was very good. The church is large, has their own orchestra and of course choir. They were really professional.

Monday we went downtown Escondido(old town), has many shops, restaurants, museums, and arts. We went back today for me to get a haircut. Not altogether sure she got it exactly the way I want it, but it does feel better. She did it curly. We also stopped at a deli for lunch. I had an excellent veggie sandwich on squaw bread( a type of rye.) The bread was just about the best bread I have had. And bread is not a big thing for me.

The weather today was better than yesterday, sunny both days but the wind yesterday was too cool. Today there was no wind, but clouds and rain coming in tonight.

Tomorrow night we are taking the Wii over to Christa's, all her children will be there, I'm sure it will be lots of fun with more people to play against.

Glad We Are Here!

The pool, I don't know what pool temp is, but it is warm to the touch
Hot tub

The weather is again beautiful, as you can see by the pictures. While doing the laundry, I sit by the pool to catch a few rays. From watching the weather channel and talking to everyone back home, I'm glad we are not there. Snow is beautiful, but not to drive in, and not for months. We can see the snow on the mountains in the distance, don't need to be in it. If we feel the need to slip and slide, we can drive an hour to Julian,CA.

Everyone back home be safe in this weather. Watch out for the other guy!

Busy Day

Today we cleaned inside. You would think that a RV would not take that long to clean. But there is lots of wood to clean. H always helps. We also sent out packages. I said I was only going to shop on-line but I enjoy going to the stores to look. What I don't like is the traffic, especially if you are out at 3PM or later. Bumper to bumper. We thought it would be less busy up here in Escondido, but I think California is just busy. But up here we can see the mountains a lot closer. We can see the snow on some of them.

Tonight Christa and Bart are coming for dinner, I am not sure how she is going to get up the steps into the RV, metal steps are different than sturdy wood ones. She is on crutches and has an air cast since her fall Wednesday. One thing about being in a RV, we grill out a lot.

Great Day!

Big difference in the 2 sites, though it depends on what you are looking for. At the old site we were on the beach, at this new one we are in the hills with landscaping.

Today was a beautiful, sunny day again.

Had a morning call from Christa's husband, my friend Christa fell going out the door to work this AM. She has a tendon injury of her ankle, actually pulling a small piece of bone off. She is in an air cast and on crutches. It will probably take longer to heal than a break. And her children are coming from Ohio this weekend for Christmas.

Today we moved from Coronado Silver Strand Beach, where the campground had nothing, to Escondido in northern San Diego county. This campground is expensive but at least we don't have a 7PM curfew(they locked the gates) and we have full hook ups(electric, water, sewer, and cable TV) plus a pool, laundry, and game room. Tomorrow I will put on some pictures of the new place.

Today I did some Christmas shopping, the first this year. The store was so crowded. It's the internet for me.

This was Saturday

Cold on Saturday, read the sign.
