It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...desert-style!

Here are two picture taken when we were in Portland for the rally the first week of December. We all went on a bus tour of the animated Xmas lights. One is of a famous mansion lit up for the season and the other from the Xmas lights extravaganza at the Speedway.

We are having a very good time here in Palm Springs. The spirit of Xmas is everywhere but...just a little different from what we have always been used to. We have settled in and have developed a good routine going to the Health Club three mornings a week. Alan is playing handball and he says the calibre of play is very high. He's getting many good games and has met lots of new handball players. I am into Aquafit, spinning/cycling and something called Zumba! It is a cuban dance routine/workout that is demanding. The instructor is very good looking and he has all the moves!!
We have seen Mary & George several times and we will be with them Xmas Eve and Xmas Day. They are only 5 minutes away from here.
Yesterday, we had a vicious windstorm and some of the roads were closed due to poor visibility. Today, no wind and it's clear and warm again.
