Christmas In The Dessert

"Christmas ... is not an eternal event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart..."

Desert Time

Our 1,000 mile trip to the great north was completed and the Porter's and Hale's were visited! Today, we spent the day cleaning up from Christmas. We wrote our thank-you notes, put away the Christmas clothes and Santa hats, and went to the market to stock up for the weekend.

In the late afternoon we went to Old Ranch for Happy hour and then we went to Kobe Steakhouse for some sushi and time to rest! Of course Paul texted Joe with pictures of the sushi and Joe sent back pictures of their desert campsite.

When Joe was a little guy, we would head to the desert every time we could. Brings back memories! We know who the smart family member of this family is… Amy was back at camp in the cozy warm trailer curled up next to the fireplace with a good book.

Joe, Alex, and Charlie hit the road .  They look pretty good in their desert garb! Joe (left), Alex (center) and Charlie (right). They are excellent riders with the flags flying. By the way, the flags are so other riders can see them as they move through the hilly terrain.

Everyone had a super time staying for several days enjoying the cool desert and great riding. No dust on this trip! Paul had a little more sushi and some sake before going home and settling in for the evening.
