We hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas and got to spend
some time with family and friends. We’ve
had a gorgeous day celebrating our Christmas in the desert. Not a cloud in the sky and warm enough even
with the light breeze. The only noise is
the occasional vehicle driving by on the road.
It has been dropping down to below 4C at night so lots of covers are
needed.
Jim and I got out geocaching a bit on Sunday but they were
all ones I’d found already. There is a
new series not too far from here that we will try next. While
out on the ATV’s the other day, Jim and I found some little sand dunes so the
next afternoon Aileen and I walked in to take some photos of them. It was so peaceful back I there as we couldn’t
hear a sound other than nature.
Aileen and I bought a new stove the other day which has a
larger oven. Our old stove needed some
repair and I didn’t think it was worth spending money on it when it wasn’t what
Aileen wanted. Jim came over Monday
morning and we got the stove changed out. The new stove looks good and the drawer underneath
is still usable.
We did our turkey outside in the electric roaster using the
Honda 2000 watt generator and it went well.
Last year was much cooler and the turkey took longer than planned. This year I covered the cardboard shelter I used
to contain the broiler with a cotton sheet and the turkey was ready in 3.5
hours. The cooking was shared between
our motor home and Jordan’s then we ate over at their place. We had a great meal, of course, with lots of
leftovers.
