CASA GRANDE Monday Dec. 22, 2008

It's Monday and it is a workday for me and after spending some time on the phones I was able to take a break and update the blog. We had a wonderful day on Sunday, the weather was good, we spent some time outside and then got together with friends and family for a wonderful dinner.

The day started with Kathy getting the RV all decorated for Xmas and it does look very nice. I'm not sure where she stored the tree and all the decorations but it does give the place a very xmasy feeling. I guess that means that Santa will have to show up now.



































While Kathy was decorating I was outside and spotted the same almost extinct, very rare belliusbeerus that is usually found in warmer weather at this time of year. In fact I think I saw the same one in South Texas last year. He was chasing shiny yellow cans. You have to be careful around this time of year because if the weather changes for the worse, he tends to be very cranky and cantankerous. I am not sure but in cold weather he could be dangerous.

In the late afternoon we went over to Cliff and Gayle Cribbs place for a wonderful dinner. Gayle cooked up rack of lamb with baked potatoes and asparagus. It was superbly prepared and there was lots so needless to say I made a pig of myself. I almost didn't have room for the Strawberry Rhubarb pie. Almost.

I would like to thank our hosts Cliff and Gayle for a wonderful meal. I was also informed by the belliusbeerus that the Cribbs are from Camrose and not Edmonton. My apologies.

After dinner, the inner child in all of us came out and we pulled out the game Cranium. This game gives everyone a chance to make a fool of themselves and believe me we did. The women challenged us men to a game and dispite our telling them it was a foolish idea they proceeded with the challenge. They just didn't realize that we men had been making a fool of ourselves all our lives and therefore this game was a piece of cake. The men took an early lead and then just continued to roll over the women. Dispite the runaway victory it was still a lot of fun with many laughs by all.
