So Long For Now

Picture from Hometown
 
We are now back  in Mesa Az.    The weather is warm and friends of ours are arriving daily.   Soon the 1156 sites will be, I will guess, at three quarter full.  The activitity calandar has been posted and everyone is eager to sign up for their favorite things.   Bob will be golfing Tuesday and Fridays.  Sunday nights I co-chair the cribbage group,  Mondays is a free day for us, meting friends for lunch, shopping house cleaning or whatever.  Tuesday night we play Mexican Train at the center, Wednesday is knitting and ladies poker, and music entertainment.  Friday night is Bingo.
 
In the past we usually spend 5 or 6 months here, but I don't think we will this year.  We absolutely love  being in Arizona but it is so far from family and friends.  It's difficult when  or if we need family or they need us, being here.   Perhaps we should winter in Florida or Texas next year.  Time will tell.
 
I have decided to take a break from journaling.  I want to wish you all happy holidays.  May your  heart be filled with every joy this holidy season.   Love to all.   
 Dawn

Dawn, I have missed you for the last few weeks and I will sure miss you if you do not post for the next six weeks.
How about once a week and you can tell us about you winnings at poker and your husbands golf scores.
You could also tell me all about Mexican Train since I have never even heard the term. Is it some sort of game.
Understand you feelings about being closer to the family. That is what my wife and I have devoted our retirement to with only a trip or two each year. I always miss the grand children after three or four days so we often return early.
Have a great time

Hi Dawn,

I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  It's probably nice to "stay put" for a little while, huh?  Hope you enjoy it.  I totally understand about being away from your family.  As you know, that is my main concern when my husband talks about "full-timing" it! (ha)  Hope you don't stay away too long.

Take Care,
~Bilinda~
