Debbie’s mom is back on her feet and doing well so we are back home in Concord. We had a busy month.

Brad, number three son, had another birthday and we had a party.

Our club had a Christmas outing at The Lakes RV and Golf Course in Chowchilla. The hosts did a great job of decorating and feeding the group.

Debbie get a helping of ribs.

Now Blake, number two son, and his wife Stacey are over to open their Christmas presents early. They are going to be in Cancun for Christmas week and we wanted to make sure we had a chance to celebrate with them before they left.

Ty attacks a empty plastic bag from one of the presents.

And he folds it up cat style.

Then there was the water pump. I have noticed water accumulating off and on in the service compartment. I have tried to find a leak but had been unable to until now. It turns out the water pump seals had been leaking. Finally it stopped working entirely. I called around and the closest Camping World to us said they had two in stock. Debbie and I drove from Concord to Vacaville, about and hours drive. Unable to find one on the shelf I asked a sales person who after checking told me the two that show in inventory had been installed in MH on the lot. We then went to Alameda to a chandlery and found one there. After I replace the pump we discovered the old pump had been making a very different sound than the new one makes, so the old pump had been going out for over a year.

Now we’re on to the New Year’s Eve club outing and celebration.

We ate…

drank…

conversed…

We also played a game where everyone antes up a couple of bucks. Then roll dice and give a dollar, either to the person on you left of right or you keep it. At some point one person ends up with all the dollars. This time the last two were yours truly and a young six year old.

And the most skillful player won.
