Christmas day 2015

we arrived to PPRV on Monday Dec 21st in the afternoon and we over joyed with our new home. I took pictures before we started dragging stuff in and making a mess. Friends showed up to assist and get us welcomed home.  the home is great! more storage than our house in Barrington. lots of windows, cabnets and more. The back year/patio is all set up with Cactus and plantings. we love it.  Dave and Virl took us down to the new canteena by the pool for diner. it is a nice little spot in the park to get quick food. it was great.  we took the RV mattress to use in the house for a few days. Tuesday we continued to unload the truck and camper into the house and get kind of organized. I played darts that evening, did ok but not great. had a good time. Linda is feeling alot better after having been sick the last few days. we did get to Casa Grande and got a real mattress that we really like, a vacuum and lots of other stuff. Our friend Jim O loaned us a kitchen table and others have been offering us items that we can use for the time being. I help pour a friends concrete driveway. I have spent quite a bit of time arranging for internet service to be installed, I decided to try Direct TV and they are coming early next week. last nite we had carolers show up and sing to us. it was fun. in  the evening we went to friends and just relaxed talking and reconnecting. today being Christmas most folks are hanging with family so Linda went for a walk and I have been writting a shopping list for Home Depot, I want to install a couple of outlets where I need them, arrange out little shed and a few more projects. At 2 pm we are going to the club house for Christmas dinner with lots of folks from the park. We didn't have alot of choise of what to take for our donation to the dinner so Linda has made a big Mac and Cheese .  Forgot to tell you, we have misplaced our camera  so I can post pictures or even take any more. I am sure it will turn up in here when we aren't looking for it. Merry Christmas to all.   Russ and Linda
