When you get into November,the days just fly by. And before you blink,Its Christmas! It seems like a couple of weeks ago I posted about our annual football trip. That was Nov. 16th. I turn around and it is Dec. 22nd!
Jeni and I have been pretty busy around the park with maintenance, committees,"movie night",Bunco, the theatre,and dinners, we have burned through two months in a blink of an eye.
On a positive note, we were to fill in as assist. managers for Christmas week but we only had to fill in on Monday and Tuesday, so we will get to spend Christmas in Sacramento with the kids. Whoopie!
It has been unseasonably cold and dry this year.It has only rained one day since we arrived in early October. "Its a gift,and a curse". No mud but lots of propane!
My camera went from bad to worse so no pictures I took were blog worthy.If you ever see a Fuji XP camera on sale that is water proof, freeze proof, dust proof, and shock resistant...pass it up. It may be all its advertised but the pictures Suck! The settings are terrible and I'm tossing this one and asking Santa for a new one.
Jeni and I were talking with another member in the park last month and he just got a 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara at the dealership in Fresno. He told us that they had on more 2011 down there and they wanted to move it because the 2012s were coming in. Jeni and I are looking to buy one in the near future and the ole 2002 Grand Vitara is showing some wear. But were looking to spring to get a new one. We decided we might get a good price on the 2011 they had down at the dealership so we went there. When we drove there we noticed there were several dealerships on this little paved road that meandered through all the car dealers. The road was virtually lined on both sides with "Car Salesmen"! Smiling,waving you in ,gesturing to you. Some even holding balloons....talk about intimidating! Of course the Suzuki dealer was down on the end. I saw a parking spot across the street and before I turned off the engine I had one of the salesmen poking his head in my window asking "how can I help you?" I told him the first thing he could do for us is move his head out of the car so I can roll up my window! Long story short, they didn't want to sell that car very bad. And we weren't in the dickering mood as the car wasn't really the color we wanted. We'll wait for Spring,the "ole Vitara" is running good.
We have new plans for next summer and good news to share,but we will wait til next post in January to tell. And maybe pictures with a new camera? Ah, the Holidays.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2012
