John & Brenda, Our Special friends from Canada
Monday, John & Brenda, our friends from Canada arrived here in their beautiful motorhome around noon. We enjoyed a light lunch of cheese and crackers while getting caught up with our happenings. Gina decided to cook spaghetti for dinner. We waited for Ashley & Parker and Nicole to arrive so we could all enjoy a wonderful dinner with family and friends. Our children were excited to finally meet some of our friends from the RVing world that we talk so much about. Dinner was great and Ashley made homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Except for the cold weather you couldn’t ask for a better or more exciting day than spending it with family and friends.
Tuesday found Brenda and Gina out shopping before she took Brenda to our family doctor for a little relief of the pain in her knee. While they were gone John and I did a little shopping of our own. First we headed to Camping World and while we were there we walked through a bunch of motorhomes. I was quite surprised that I didn't care for any of the floorplans. Well, I guess I'll have to keep what I have. From there we stopped at our local Bass Pro store. We didn't buy anything but John thought Bass Pro did a great job of capturing the decor of south Louisiana. Once we finally made it back home I got started on cooking some chicken and smoked turkey so it would be ready for Gina to cook up some of her chicken & sausage gumbo. We were having another big get together tonight. Dana & Rickey, my sister and BIL, Brandi, who has a special place in our heart, and of course Nicole, our daughter were coming for dinner. While Nicole was here she made a Key Lime pie which will be for Wednesday.
As you can see we are really glad to be home for the holidays and spending time with our family and friends makes it all the more special.
Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
Loved all your decorations and trees. We used to put up 2 or 3 trees each year too. We have a silver tree with the colored wheel...from 1969...it is just like the one we had when I was a kid. I got this one from my aunt. My kids call it my tacky tree.
