Thank you all for your contributions to the “name the lakeside road sign”
effort. The contest was won early and convincingly by brother Tom with:
Don’t drive dunk!
Thank you brother Tom.

Here are the first Christmas pictures. Tony and Taylor made Gingerbread houses yesterday. I need to get a
picture of Taylor with her finished product. Tony was proud of his. The other picture is of our hyper kids getting ready for bed last
night. Amazingly, they were all passed out by 10:00.

Merry Christmas everyone. Christmas Eve. Clouds. Wind. Light rain. Thunderstorm. Heavy rain. Ice
pellets. Then snow. Real snow! We’re here for the first white Christmas
ever recorded in South Texas. Up to six inches accumulation. Bridges
closed. Roads impassable. The local news channels are going bonkers. What
fun! A beautiful warm sunny Christmas day. Wandered the beach. Had dinner with
fifty other motorhomers, a dinner sponsored by the RV park we’re in. Back to our house to watch football. Conversations with the kids, and an exchange of Christmas pictures. Merry Christmas everyone, from the beach.
