There is so much preparation and anticipation, and then Christmas is here and gone so quickly. Craig and Cassie joined us after church on Christmas Eve for our traditional fondue supper followed by exchanging gifts. Then on Christmas Day, Colleen, Ken, and I went to Curt and Cinda's for dinner and some family time.
Now we are in the throes of packing to leave tomorrow. I just keep piling things by the back door hoping I will gather everything I intended to take. I can't believe I have been so casual about getting ready to leave - I have spent more time preparing for a weekend in eastern Washington than I have for this four-month-plus trip, but I'm sure our credit card can replace anything we leave behind.
I gave Ken a new GPS for Christmas, so this will be the shakedown cruise. We have had one that Keith and Janet gave us several years ago, and we have loved it, but the newer technology appeals to us with respect to finding our way around cities like Phoenix and finding points of interest along the way. It is just about impossible to keep up with emerging technology.
After our stop in Stayton tomorrow night, we will be relaxing in Brookings-Harbor, Oregon until about the middle of January. Jeff and Bev will join us this Saturday for our annual holiday rendevous. We are always available via cell phones (253 961 8236 (Helen) 253 988 5146 (Ken), email, IM, or Skype. One of those should work for you. Ciao
