After posting yesterday's blog we took off to makes some purchases to finish restocking our refrigerator. When we got back home the first thing on the agenda, after putting everything away, was to do some decorating outside. Which is mostly Tom's area of fun. I did contribute a couple of things; I guess I need to admit it was mostly suggestions. It now looks very festive outside. I am thinking we will have to take a walk around the park in the next couple of nights as we can see several RV's nicely decorated.

When we left the Stinger "B" this morning to go to Mass at St. Thomas Indian Mission the sun was not up and I chose not to take my camera. That was a mistake. The sky around the edges was a lovely deep red color and the camera on my phone really did not do the color justice at all.

| On I-8 heading east this morning. |

| Walking up the steps to the church I turned and the sky to the north had turned a bright orange/red. |
 |
| We have been to this church several times over the years and I know I have posted several pictures. So today there are just a couple. Top: the back altar, bottom left: the Advent Wreath, bottom right: a pretty stained glass window by the doors. |
Around 10 we headed over to Los Algodenes for a little window shopping and lunch with Kim and Ken. (The rest of the group already had other plans for the day as it was a last minute decision.) It was a fun few hours. The food was good, the Margaritas very good, and the company wonderful.
There may have been one small purchase made.
 |
| I even remembered to take a picture. |

Our days here are unfolding nicely especially now that our home is clean and decorated for the season. We are enjoying the company and are glad we decided to spend part of the Holiday Season with this group.
Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday Season
that last throughout the coming year!

ReplyDeleteIt was another fun day in paradise.
That morning sky was beautiful, sorry I missed it!
I was just telling Tom we need to take a night time stroll around the park to see all the decorations.
DeleteIt was a pretty sky just wish I had grabbed the camera.
Can't wait to see your decorations! Love the pic of the four of you! The sky pictures are so awesome, love when that happens! Glad you're enjoying being there for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying our days here and we are glad we decided to come and spend Christmas here.

ReplyDeleteWishing you along with your family and the entire gang a Safe and Merry Christmas.
It's about time.
Thank you, Rick. I just wish I could have caught the brightness of the reds in the sunrise.
DeleteLooks like you folks are having a great time.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying our time here with this great group of friends.
DeleteWell the sunset pictures were still fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice church. What a sunrise from the steps. Wow!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a pretty little mission church. We have read that photographers actually go up there specifically to take sunrise and sunset pictures.
