We would like to wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.

We went out to eat at a local establishment last evening and came home, watched the tv and the celebrations across the world and to New York and called it a night.

It has been cool, at or below freezing the last couple of nights and supposed to be cold again tonight but them warming up a bit in the next few days. It warms up during the day to a fairly comfortable temperature but as soon as the sun goes down, it is cold almost instantly.

We are looking forward to getting back on the road. We will be going to Quartzsite in a couple of weeks but will have to get more lp gas in the motor home before then. We will probably replace the 4 rear tires at that time and get that out of the way for a long time. It will be an expensive project but one that is needed as the tires are 10 years old and the tread is getting down to the retread groves, so it is time. So if the new ones last that long, we will probably not be needing them, or the motor home, who knows.

So, here's wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Merle & Evelyn
