Thank You Lord Jesus for this opportunity to just take a luxury vacation!! Luxury because we are with each other, going and doing whatever we desire.

Our Christmas Vacation




We took a week and traveled to spend time with family in Bonney Lake, WA. Our drive there was quite an experience with all the snow and ice on the freeway. What should of taken us three hours to drive, ended up taking us seven and a half hours.

Praise the Lord for getting us to and from our destinations safely.

On Christmas Eve we girls enjoyed baking goodies preparing fo­r Christmas Day while the boys and pets relaxed. The kids opened their gifts.

On Christmas Day we enjoyed great family time together and delicious food. We laughed a lot, played games, made a snowman. It snowed all day. There was a foot of beautiful snow.

We left Washington, went to Woodburn,OR. to Dad and Mom's for two days, having more family fun and food together. The day before we left there it started raining and the eighteen inches of snow there was melting. That made our traveling much smoother.

We then traveled to Roseburg to have Christmas with our son and grand children. They got us a motel room for the night. The next morning we headed to Medford, OR. to see our other grand children. On the way home we picked up our new little puppy, Ginger Rose.

Some of our grand children come home with us. We had a fun time together, laughing a lot, playing games and going bowling.

God blessed us with wonderful family time together, many wonderful memories, and safe traveling this Christ~mas Season.


May you have all the wealth you deserve, the health you desire, and the freetime you require to enjoy your life.
