Our California home….Outdoor Resort Indio
The weather is great!

The little hummingbirds must be glad
that we are back to feed them.

We hosted the first “Topless” run of the season.
We drove up to Palomar Observatory
and it was beautiful and very educational.
I was impressed.

The O’Conners and Mike and I are hosting the “Overnighter”
for February’s Topless event.
This month, 3 couples of us did a dry run to map out our upcoming
trip.  The Kearsings, the O’Connors, and Mike and I drove up to Laughlin, NV
where we met Pat and Rollie and Chuck and Eva.

What fun we had!

One night in Laughlin, then on to Oatman, AZ to see
the donkeys that come to town to visit the tourists.

They are very used to people, sometimes, too comfortable with them.

Mike (hamming it up) in Oatman.
We went thru Lake Havasu City and stopped to see Pat and Rollie
 then to Chuck and Eva’s to see their new house.
We spent our second night on the road in Parker AZ then back to Indio.

Just a week later, we took another official Topless run to
Oceanside (a beautiful resort town on the Pacific coast.)
We ate lunch out on the pier.

The day was wonderful, even the Pelicans loved the weather.

Thanksgiving was approaching so we headed to the
Palm Springs Airport.  

The weather in Portland wasn’t quite as nice as Palm Ssprings

but we had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thirteen of us participated in the “Give n’ Gobble”
Thanksgiving morning.  It poured, we were drenched
and we all had a great time!

Papa and his granddaughters….

What a wonderful family Thanksgiving.
