Arrived at Jill's on the evening of Dec. 31

We arrived after a very long flight from Dallas and brief taxi ride from the airport to a very cheerfully decorated house! The picture doesn't do it justice. It was also balmy with a slight breeze which carried the perfume of the flowering trees to our noses--80 degrees AND a full moon to boot. However, it was an empty house..no people, no Riley. But, we weren't ready for entertaining...we were ready to eat something and hit the sack.

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas with Gretchen and her dog Mason. Best Wishes to all.
