Dec 14-31 ...Had a good trip from Casa Grande to Desert Hot Springs. Arrived about 230p set up for our one night stay. That evening we went to Danny's & had an early Christmas with Lexi & him! Dixie did a quick haircut for a repeat customer right before we put the motorhome in storage. From there we took all our refrig/freeze stuff to Ross's condo for storage while we were in Montana. We had lunch at Applebee's & then mailed the Christmas packages. We met Danny at his condo where we left our car and he and Lexi took us to the airport. We got on with now problem & arrived in Denver to find out our flight to Great Falls was delayed but a couple of hours. We finally arrived in Great Falls around 1am. Dad picked us up & we stayed overnight with them.
Our stay in Great Falls....On the 17th Dad went to the farm and we stayed overnight with Mom. She has been in a lot of back and abdominal pain. On the 18th we attended Harold Struck’s 80th Birthday party. We visited with Russ & Cheryl there. Dixie worked for Fran a few days, gave blood, went to Mom's doctor and acupuncture appointments, & went to see the doctor for her hip pain. Mike went to the Peak & hung out at home (only had the use of one car so he was stuck at home a lot). Dixie cooked Christmas Eve dinner that we enjoyed at Dad & Mom's. Denita, Steve and the boys come up on Christmas Eve and stayed until Sunday. Christmas Day we had a wonderful Prime Rib dinner at Doug and Fran’s. We spent a lot of time at Mom & Dad's visiting and helping out where we could.
The flights were very full on our scheduled return day (Dec 28th) so we planned to wait until the following day...however the night before, due to the bad weather back east, we decided it was best to try for the original plan. The flights didn't look any better as the week went on. Surprisingly we got on the flight out of Great Falls at 720am. We didn't make the first flight out of Denver but we did get on the next one at 3pm. We arrived in Palm Springs around 430p. Danny picked us up and we stopped for dinner at a small Mexican restaurant. We overnighted with him & on Wed. morning we got the MH out of storage & parked on a sight. We will be here for 2 weeks & move to our park in Indio.
New Year's Eve Danny came over and we grilled steaks & watched a movie.
