| Back at the park,Jeni and I hosted a Christmas party called a Wassail.We served hot buttered rum and mulled cider.What a hoot. My buddy Ron and I were the bartenders for the evening. |

| Grandma and DJ enjoy a quiet moment doing a puzzle.There weren't many. |
The holidays are over, Jeni and I survived 10 days of parties,travel,Grand kids,and park business.We are "Toast"! We hosted a Christmas party at the park Saturday night. Then Sunday headed for Sacramento for Christmas with the family.Headed back to the park the next Wednesday for park business,then headed to Riverside for a belated Christmas with our son and Grandsons.We headed back to the park for a new years eve party Monday, and today (new years day) Jeni is doing laundry and I am watching bowl games.Tomorrow maybe we can get back to normal.I think this year we have enjoyed the holidays more than past years. It was a blast.We will see what 2013 holds for us..As we set here tonight in our own little place where we can sleep in our own bed,I use an old phrase my concrete mentor used to tell me,Jeni, "back on our heads tomorrow".I guess that means back to normal. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
