December 2013

What a beautiful ORI Christmas tree this year…….

At Outdoor Resorts, we have an annual toy drive at Christmas time.  This year we donated 100 bicycles, (all with helmets) and hundreds of presents to the Indio Fire Department who distribute them to needy kids locally.  We have a big party (admission is a toy) and a lot of warm fuzzy feelings at giving to the kids.

Mike has a new car!  Well – not really.  We have friends who went home for the holidays.  Our friends are the organizers for the ORI “Topless” group.  (Convertibles)
Our friend asked Mike if he would lead one of their runs and Mike could use his car for the run!   Well – WOW!  We drove our friend’s BMW on a fabulous day trip to Temecula, CA.  What fun buzzing along in the sunshine in this great little convertible!
FUN – FUN – FUN  !!!

Off roading in the desert, we came upon a well-kept little cabin- in the middle of no where!  It had a concrete “house” – no roof, doors or windows, a clean little patio, even a little cactus garden with a solar light, and an American Flag.

The evenings are beautiful…..and a little cool – but I guess it is winter.

Christmas is finally here.  Mike is having fun with the ribbons and the grandkids!
We spend The Christmas holidays with Marc and Brandon in the Portland, OR area.  We had so much fun.  The grandkids are growing so fast.  

Our entire family all together for Christmas.  What a great crowd.

We want to wish all of our friends and family a Happy and Healthy New Year!
What kind of great places will we find on our travels in 2014?
