Happy New Year!

 

December started out with the post holes finally dug for our RV cover. The concrete was scheduled for Dec 11 and of course the only rain we've had in months happened the day before so it was postponed due to two feet of mud and water in the holes!   Finally on Dec 21 we had concrete. It had to sit for seven days and then the fellows really started working hard and late, often until 6:30 PM, well after dark.  Dec 29 we had a structure and today, Jan 1, they are again working to put the top on and it is looking good!

December 19 my cousins and I had another Zoom meeting and this time all my cousins were able to attend. It was great catching up on all of them.

Since Bethany was not able to come back to Phoenix until Dec 29 we didn't celebrate Christmas with Dawn's family until Dec 31 and we had a great day. We also celebrated Dawn's birthday, played Spicy Uno (which was a lot of fun and with seven of us was a real hoot!) and ended the day with fireworks in the driveway. A great way to end 2020 and a new beginning for 2021.

Sorry but for some reason all the pictures loaded backwards meaning the newest ones first and I'm not computer savvy enough to figure out how to fix it.
