We celebrated Christmas, in Austin, over New Year's so my dates and days are all mixed up! We had a fun time with the granddaughters and family. Emily is changing daily! Samantha got a crib, changing table and high chair for her baby doll and spent hours playing with them! Joel & Rachel joined us for New Year's Eve but then had to return to Dallas to settle into their new apartment.
Dave & Marion were also with us. Marion fell down the outside stairs of their trailer and injured her ribs and right lower leg/ankle on Thursday evening. A trip to the urgent care on Friday resulted in a temporary splint and instructions to see an orthopaedic doctor asap for "possible" surgery. Crutches and a warning not to put weight on her foot was pretty difficult with her rib injury. So we changed our plans to stay in San Antonio and finish the airplane - it will get done someday! - and drove them down to Brownsville. Marion tolerated the trip much better in the motorhome with her foot elevated. Hopefully, she can get an appointment with a specialist soon and can have a "plan." We are glad we were able to rearrange things and come with them to help. We will rent a wheel chair tomorrow so she can get out and get around better.
The lot we rented for the winter is lovely - it is on a man-made canal that runs through the park and has a deck with a wrought iron railing. We spent most of the day "nesting" and getting settled. Anxious to ride our bikes and play some golf.
Three months of days like today would be wonderful!
PS-Notice Samantha's and her baby doll's PJ's match!

What a great photo of the "six" ladies! I missed the two sets of matching pajamas; thanx for pointing that out.
It is good that you were able to assist your friend Marion at such a key time.
We'll look forward to chasing some red fish with you in a couple of months.
Howdy to Roger for us.
Blackie & Bud
