December Again (or) HO, HO, HO

Once again December is upon us. And, the way the weather has been the past few days, it feels like December. Daytime highs have been struggling to make it to 60, with nighttime lows dipping down to the mid 30's. According to the local weather people, this would almost be considered an "Arctic Blast." We've even had a shower or two to prepare us for our return on the 13th. Last Thursday's hike was even cancelled due to the threat of rain. The weather hasn't put a damper on my golfing "attempts" though. That's a whole story in itself. It's up and down like a yo yo. I'll be spending more time at the driving range!
Last Tuesday we met our friends Joe and Lindy for dinner in Mesa. We went to an Irish Pub called The Harp. The food was very good, and the restaurant wasn't very busy, so all of us (even me) could hear each other. We will be getting together again in January for barbecued ribs at our place.
We will be taking a 2 day journey to Anaheim on Tuesday for a Disneyland visit. We've never been there without kids, and were able to book our Worldmark timeshare. It's about 350 miles from here, so no big deal. We've been there during the Christmas season before, and it's a great time to go. Mid week before Christmas break, the park shouldn't be crowded, and the weather forecast calls for sunny skies with temperatures in the mid 60's. We'll be back on Thursday.
That catches us up again, and next weeks edition will have some pictures. (We haven't taken any this week.)
I'm about half way on my "wax the motorhome project", and will have it completed before we head north on the 13th.......Ernie
