December Photo Dump

 No, I didn't skip over New Year's Eve intentionally - it's just that we did NOTHING - HA!  My favorite kind of evening!  Since we are heading to Estes Park YMCA for our BIG Christmas get-together, there just wasn't time to plan a party!  But that's OK - a quiet evening is what I prefer anyway!

So December is gone - the new year is here!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Now for the December Photo Dump!

Beth and I visited Arlyne at her assisted living place - she will turn 88 in January!

I was all ready for the neighbors to come over for a meal!!  Manicotti was on the menu!

Al's mom Marilyn also came over since she is here for 3 weeks from Ohio - Ray and Susan are our other neighbors and the 6 of us have so much fun when we get together!

This is one of my FAVORITE pics from 2024!  Such a magnificent sunrise!

Another set of neighbors brought us these artistic frosted cookies!!  We had already eaten a few before I thought to take a picture!

Carrie ( my longtime friend originally from W. Pk but has moved many times since then and is now living in Pueblo) and her daughter Tasha from WA stopped up for a visit - Tasha had come to Baja last year for a week and we really enjoy her!

We don't get many sunsets off the back deck that are picture worthy but this one WAS!

Glenn - what can I say!  He ordered a hat from Amazon and then sewed on fur from a fox he had shot, skinned and tanned - the hat did turn out cute and will keep him plenty warm on his trip to SD in Jan. to ice fish with son Neal!

And that's a wrap for 2024!!

Christmas Games

 Jill had a couple of really fun games that we played over the course of the 2 days! In the first one, you can see the squares on the paper - the person beside you would roll 2 dice until they got a pair of any type, while the person to your right is frantically putting numbers 1 through 100 on the sheet!  As soon as the double is rolled, the next person grabs the pen out of your hand and the dice is passed and it starts again.  We were laughing like crazy as many times, a double would be rolled on the first round and the pen would be snatched out of your hand before you even got to write a number down!  First person to finish to 100 (it takes several rounds usually) wins!

In the other game, there were prizes beside each of the taped lines and everyone took a turn, trying to slide the coke can onto the blue tape!  And many times, it would slide right off the table!

I won Hershey kisses AND a Christmas ornament!

Aleah got the grand prize of $20!

What a fun time!
