Hot Dogs and Travel




A beautiful sunset from our rig at Park Sierra.
Unfortunately fog has been persistent here the last week or so.The park brochure states that we are "below the snow line and above the fog".Yea Right!Its been an unusual winter here.Lots of rain and lots of fog.

Jeni has jumped in with both feet at the park.She is head of the "Hello Squad" for the winter, which is the greeting arm of the park,she is on the "Emergency response committee"

which sets policy for any emergencies in and around the park.



But her best gig is running "Movie night.The park got a big screen TV and installed "surround sound" so Jeni started showing movies on Sunday night.This is her promo on our local park channel."Movie and a Hot Dog".

It was a great success and I get my favorite meal without a hassle from Jeni. she is so busy at movie night I can have a couple of dogs and chili too! Her next
"movie night" is Jan.23rd where she is showing an oldie,"Desk Set"with Hepburn and Tracy.

Jeni's helpers are hard at work puttin out the hot dogs before the movie.It takes a lot of work to put on the "movie night"but everybody pitches in.Many hands make short work and "Philly"gets lots of hot dogs!










Jeni and I took a little trip to San Diego to see my Brother Gary and wife Martha.We stopped in Riverside coming and going to see our son Dan.
We had a great time in San Diego and Gary and Martha's hospitality as always was "first class".They know the best restaurants,and make you feel right at home.If you ever met them, no matter what your status in life was, you would want to be friends with them.Thanks as always for a great time.Jeni and I are so lucky to have such a great Brother and sister in law.
Thanks also to Dan and Melony for putting us up on our way to and back from San Diego.Your a good Son!
We got back to the park Friday for some R&R,Oh,did I mention,Jeni also runs Friday night "Bunco"....CRAP!there goes our R&R!
We complain but the park keeps us on the go and we love it.There is always something going on here and the more people you meet the more involved you get.You get asked out to eat more,asked to play games,do crafts ,to join committees,and you become a part of a great community.That's a good thing.
Well,after a whirlwind weekend of Bunco,game night,and movie night,after volunteering til noon on the maintanence crew today,I am sitting on our patio 65 degrees and sunny,sipping on a cold one and enjoying a little R&R. Dreaming of travel and those delicious hot dogs!
