CHRISTMAS DINNER WITH FELLOW RV FRIENDS

CAN YOU TELL JERRY WAS HAPPY TO SEE US TO-DAY

When we first met JERRY & SUZY back in November here at the ranch for the cowboy cookie shoot-out they had asked us to come to their place in Benson for Christmas. So today, we went to Jerry & Suzy's for Christmas dinner. Jerry sent us some excellent directions so of course we got lost & had to phone him to see if he remembered where he lived. He did & once we all got our co-ordinates co-coordinated.......we drove around the block to their house.

Jerry & Suzy live in the Escapee Park just south of Benson. We had driven through there a little over a year ago but we didn't know them at that time. Jerry showed us around outside for a bit & I was able to remember a few things from reading his blog for the last 9 months. It was a chilly day so Suzy stayed inside where it was warm. Just a week ago to-day she had a shoulder replacement operation in Tucson & aside from her arm in a sling she was looking pretty darn good for having gone through a surgery like that. Said she can already feel an improvement in that shoulder.

We all sat around & kibitzed for a few hours, told a few tales, compared blogs & RV stories, & just generally all got to know each other better. Kelly & I don't socialize a whole lot anymore but the few people we do meet we always remember well. Suzy's healing shoulder curtailed her activities to-day so Jerry was the main man in the kitchen. The size of the prime roast that came out of the oven was the biggest one I've seen in years & reminded me of the huge roasts of beef my Mother would make every Sunday when I was growing up. We had a great supper, more kibitzing back & forth, some more pictures, & then it was 7:30 & time to head back to the ranch. We still had our chores to do & we knew we'd have some hungry critters waiting for us. Hugs & goodbyes & off we went into the night. We nearly ran off the road 4 times south of Tombstone while fighting over the cowboy cookies they had given us for Christmas.

There is a chance we may see Jerry & Suzy again sometime in March over around the Borrego Springs California area somewhere. They have a rally to attend in Yuma & then are heading for Borrego. RICK & PAULETTE will be in the neighborhood up around Palm Desert about the same time so there may be a meeting of the minds in the offing for the three Amigos, or D'umigos, or Dumb Egos......whatever applies:))

WELL, IF HE WASN'T SO DARNED TALL I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO CUT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD OFF!!

It's late, I talked too much to-day, I ate too much to-day, but I'll be darned if I'm going to blog too much to-day, so to all a good night & to all a day of good to-morrow:))
