A Christmas Visit with Malcolm and Kathy in Queen Valley, AZ

Our annual visit with Malcolm and Kathy at Queen Valley RV Park. We tried to catch up with them several times while we were in New Mexico but it just did not happen, so here were are for three days to catch up on the past years travels for both of us.

Freya keeping an eye out for all of the dog walkers.

Tuesday I spent the day doing laundry. We did manage to get together with Malc and Kath for a hot tub later in the afternoon with plans for them to come to dinner at our house Wednesday night for Roast Beast. They are both getting over colds so one more day will be good for them to recover and not be contagious to us. Fingers crossed.

Wednesday, I spent the day finishing up our laundry, making bread and preparing our dinner. Ray took a drive back into Mesa for a few last minute items we had forgotten to buy and then had another hot tub . Kathy made a wonderful appetizer of bree cheese with cranberries and we all enjoyed the roast beef dinner with lots of wine. A great evening. The rain showers began off and on for the rest of the evening but it sure was warm out 60 F.

Thursday we woke up later than usual to the sound of rain on the roof. Kathy and Malc are hosting dinner tonight so I just have to do yesterday's dishes and even managed to make a batch of shortbread.  I also made the appetizer, pineapple, shrimp skewers with bacon. Yumm. We had a lovely evening, Kathy had made some lovely chicken and roast potatoes. Thanks for dinner guys.

Friday it's pack up and off to our Christmas destination, Casa Grande, to spend the next ten days with our friends Wayne and Karen and Derek and Laurel.
