For Christmas Eve we had dinner ready for Kim, Danny and Miss Madison for when they got home from Danny's sisters house. After eating we opened presents because Kim was working Christmas Day.
Christmas morning we drove down to David Jr.'s house for breakfast and to open presents for the grand kids. Miss Madison was good the whole time and we got pictures of all the grand-daughters together. After that we drove back to Bakersfield to set Madison up so she could play with her new toys, Danny could watch the Laker's game and Dave could fix dinner.
Friday the 26th, was Danny's birthday so he, Emerson and Hector left for Las Vegas, Kim had to work so we babysat.
It was also my nephew Jimmy's birthday too on the 26th so Happy Belated Birthday to both Jimmy and Danny.
Saturday, Kim was off work so we drove down to Orange County to visit with Mike, Trini and Spanky. Miss Madison was great, as always, she loved Mike's big nose, and I think he was the 1st guy to hold her and she didn't start crying. Mike and Trini kept passing her around, but her second cousin, Spanky, wouldn't even hold her, he says he doesn't hold babies. We had a great visit with them, Mike fixed up some great left overs from Christmas dinner, and I was a happy camper with the prime rib bones. The jokes were flying back and forth as usual, Mike never misses a beat. We got back on the road at 4 and were home by 6pm, we got so lucky driving down and back, there really wasn't any traffic to speak of and that's unheard of.
Sunday we went by Kim's to put up all the Christmas decorations in the garage, she had just about gotten everything put away.
Monday I had a doctor appointment, the female kind, and I also had a bone density test done, since I've been post-meno for the last 4 years. You get the results right away, and my bones are very strong, they said I have no problems so that was good to hear. They said all the walking I do is what really helps. In the afternoon Dave had a cardiologists appointment, in his check up with the regular doctor they discovered he was missing a heart beat. The cardio doc said he isn't missing a beat but he has an xtra beat, so now he has to go for a stress test and have another blood test. so will let you all know when we get the test results back. For New Years we are just staying here in the RV Park they are having Gumbo for dinner and having a band, just stay safe and sound near the coach. That's about it for now.
New Pictures are posted
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

New Photos posted on Kim's blog but no update, yet
Kim ended up working today and when we got over to the house Danny was posting new pics of Miss Madison. It shows a date of Nov 27th but it was really posted today, take a look see.
Kim is working Christmas and my brother is still making a Christmas dinner so now it depends on the weather. If the grapevine doesn't close down on xmas night then Dave and I just might still drive to Mike's for dinner, but the weather says rain so we will just have to wait and see.
I have to be in Bakersfield on Friday because Danny is going to Vegas for his birthday and Kim has to work, so will make the call on xmas I guess.

I thought I had stuff to update on the blog, but I was wrong. It is still freezing here in Bakersfield, I know Marisa, nothing like where you are in Colorado. I do check the weather in Littleton, that's what pops up when I put in your zip code, and I'm really glad I'm not there right now. Hope your mom brought lots of warm clothes. This week we are suppose to have rain but at least the temps are saying in the 50's, lately it's been in the 30's and 40's and that's freezing to me.
Danny is out of school for a month so now on Thursdays I don't have to start babysitting until 11am instead of 6:30am, which now makes Thursday and Friday about only 9 hour days. Danny had A's and B's, but Kim will post it on her blog.
It's been so foggy, wet and cold that we haven't been able to play pickle ball for a couple weeks now, bummer. Dave and I did join a bowling league, Wednesdays at 6:15pm, 4 man teams. I started with a 153 average, Dave had a 160. I bowled pretty good last week so I know mine is going up, Dave's is going down.
Our electric heaters haven't been working in the RV so we are having to use the propane heater. It's a lot quieter then the electric heater but then we use up the propane, oh well, luckily this RV Park has propane that we can drive over to and fill up.
That's about it, very depressing holiday season this year. Kim has to work xmas, not going to my brother's for dinner, watching the spending with this damn market. God lets hope that 2009 is a much better year. For Danny and my birthday dinners, we are going to Red Robin because Danny and I get to have a FREE Hamburger, I got the coupons in my email. So if any of you want a free hamburger on your birthday just go to Red Robin and sign up.
PS: I posted a few more pictures of Madison under Jeri's photos

Happy Birthday to me
51 boy am I getting old. Haven't updated for a while and it's too late tonight to do it now, so just a quick note that I will update sometime this weekend.
Dave and I did babysit Miss Madison today and took her down to Memorial Hospital, where Kim works, because Santa was showing up today.
Thank you for the notes or phone calls that I received today to wish me a happy birthday.

IT IS FREEZING HERE IN BAKERSFIELD
Haven't written for awhile, what's that tell you, nothing much going on.
1st of all let me say "Happy Belated Birthday" to Trini Tomaselli, my sister-in-law, which was on December 1st. Sorry, I should have done an update then but that was the day I was going for a blood test and a mammogram and birthdays were not on my mind, sorry Trini. I'll say it now "Happy 64th B/Day"
On December 2nd our friend Linda Tibbitts, from St. George Utah, came by for a 2 day visit. She is the one we just went and saw in St. George for her husbands funeral. I give her so much credit for travelling around in her 40 foot motor home towing her vehicle by herself. She and Larry had planned on being gone for the Christmas Holidays once they purchased the house in St. George, so she didn't change any of the plans. She will be back in Bakersfield sometime in January before she heads back to St. George, she is one hell of a woman. While she was here we went over to Kim's for dinner so she could see Kim and Miss Madison again. Danny had school stuff that night so she didn't get to see him.
Linda got back on the road on Thursday, December 4th, and made it to Chico in just under 8 hours, she did very well. Oh, forgot to mention, while she was here we went to the movies. We saw "Australia" really good movie, the little boy is the hit of the show, what a doll.
I even managed to go to the dentist on Thursday, everything OK, so getting all the doctors appointments taken care of, all except one, maybe one day.
That's about it for an update, except it is freezing here in Bakersfield. What the hell is this 40 and 50 degree shit? I swear if it rains we are going to have snow, I need the sun. :)
