Dec 10th, 11th & 12th

Dec 10th
The weather is awesome, temperatures in the high 70’s, Woody and I continue to count our blessings for the opportunity to be here enjoying this beautiful area. I finished the DVD’s to send out to our kids and grandkids, plus added some extras and got them in the mail. We found out there is Postal Strike in Canada so we doubt they will make it in time for Christmas, I will send an email informing our family that the gifts will be late but we have not forgot them!! I know they will be okay with that because we have such a great family. I continue to work on the DVD’s of the Jam Session for friends here and the regular Jam Musicians and will get them done in time for the last Jam Session before Christmas.
Dec 11th
The one Jam Session took 8 hours for Sony Vegas to take my composition and render it into a movie format for burning the actual DVD. I did an overnight render, there were errors so ended up rendering the movie again. I ended up staying until 2:00 AM working on more slide shows for Christmas. Now I will burn 10 copies of the DVD Jam Session, create the labels and we will be ready for Christmas! We are getting the Christmas feeling, even if we have to remind ourselves that Christmas is so close just seems somewhat strange linking Christmas with warm weather!

Woody captured some spectacular sunset pictures this evening!















Our living area windows face the west so we are always able to view the sunsets!
The best sunsets happen when there are a few clouds on the horizon.



Dec 12th
Nothing too exciting happening today except for the Jam Session tonight, we spent the day shopping, and other daily tasks, the weather is still gorgeous 77F and I do not include this to make you northern dwellers feel bad, I just want to be able check back here and see what the weather was on a particular day.
Some pictures of the Jam Musicians this evening.


Mary Kaye has a wonderful voice and is a charactor, she comes faithfully from their home park at St. David about 20 miles from here.




Biff also hails from St. David, he is 88 years young, sings and picks a mean guitar, another faithful Jam Musician.




Bob hails from our park, he does not sing but can play and pick many songs expertly!


Some ladies here are very creative and dress up for Jam Sessions and other occasions at the park. This is Irene, she made the shawl and her friend Donna here at the park created her hat, just too cool!
We love the Jam Sessions and will not miss one!
