Three sailboats with their masts fully lit. | ||
The Resort and shops lit up like a roman candle. I don't think I've ever seen that many lights on a building before. | ||

Finally, with some persuasion, the guitars come out. Dave and Mike put on a fabulous concert for us after Christmas dinner. | ||
They do not practice beforehand. Dave plays a melody and Mike follows with the chords. The result is we are witnessing a creation. Such talent. | ||
What?!! Sue plays the guitar too? Who knew? Well, she says she hasn't played in many years, but it sounds great to us. | ||
And Brad too? Is there anyone here who doesn't play the guitar? Oh, right - the rest of us. We have such a great time with this group, and look forward to seeing them again in a couple of weeks at the annual gathering in Quartzsite. Thank you, Porters, for the Christmas invitation and hospitality. |

Porter's Party Place, Lake Havasu City, Arizona
Our friends, Paul and Sue Porter, spent the summer in hot, hot, hot (120+F or 50C) Lake Havasu City (LHC) building a house. They are "full-timers" (live 12 months/year in an RV traveling) now coming off the road for a few months of the year to enjoy boating, a beautiful home and to offer their friends full RV hookups in their massive yard. As we leave St. George, Utah with snow predicted, we expect to spend 2 or 3 days with the Porters on our way to warmer southern Arizona. Then they invite us for Christmas, and we end up staying just over 2 weeks!
Great blog Marilyn. No nearly as tiring as hiking;)
