Yikes! It's December already!

 

Five months young on December 2nd!

Bob's brother Jerry and Wendy arrived

in Texas on December 4th.

We live on T row.  Jerry and Wendy are in T1--white car;

We are in T2 next door--blue vehicle. The fence

is new because a tree fell on the old one this summer.

They said it was 80 degrees and humid

 and sent a picture of our winter home

Bob is in charge of the plants and decorating

in Texas---he planted these Crotons along 

our carport.
