Wonderful Christmas

                                                                  DECEMBER  2011

Well we made it to California to spend December with our Daughter and her family.

 We were there for our Granddaughters 5th birthday and had so much fun. Randy was having a bad day so he spent the whole time in the trailer.  Our daughter got a big blow up slide brought in like the ones at the fairs. It was so much fun. They had a bunch of their friends over and we all had a blast. They were all nice and everyone had a great time. I think The dog like the slide the most. Everyone would carry him up and he would slide down and then run back to the stairs waiting for someone to take him back up. It was all great. Sure wish my hubby would have been feeling better. He would have enjoyed it.

We got to spend a wonderful Christmas with them. Sure missed the other kids but you just can't be everywhere at once.

The whole month of December was really nice. Sure forgot what it was like to be in California during December. It's just not wintry enough for me.  LOL

 We had a month long show set up in Quartzsite AZ for January. We got there around the 28 of December. We got all set up and had a very very long month. We had a HUGE booth. Probably about 20 x 60 and was able to park the trailer right there behind it. We didn't work too hard except it was tiring because we were open 6 days a week. And then with all that dust we had to clean everything 2 x's a week. That was the worst I think.We had a couple of REALLY BAD sand storms while we were there. What an experience. Not sure if I would go back to sell at again. Maybe just as visitors. We did meet some wonderful people though.

While we were there our son - in - law got a job offer in Kansas City. So they stopped by and stayed the night with us on their way out. It was good to see them again before they headed out that way. They are really excited about the move. I think it will be a good one for them.

On our way back to my parents from Quartzsite we had a blowout on the trailer. It tore up the side pretty bad. We finally got the tire changed and made it to our destination.

We had Dr's appointments in Oklahoma so we rented a car and headed back there. The trailer will have to wait til we get back to be fixed. We stayed in OK for almost a month. It was really nice seeing the kids again. We spent lots of time with both of them.

Did some upkeep on the house while we were there.

Got back out to Arizona in March and had to leave for Las Vegas. We had a show to attend so we stayed there for a few nights. Left the dogs at a really neat boarding facility(Just Like Home Doggie Kennel) that is a house set up like a home. They have access to the whole place and get to come and go as they want with lots of room to run outside. They have cameras set up all over and you can watch your dogs on the internet. It was AWESOME. Our trip was fun and we found some really neat products to buy for upcoming shows.

When we got back from the show we took the trailer in to have it repaired. It took longer than it was supossed to but it is done and we now have it back.
