Jody, Renato and the kids are here for Christmas and are staying at a condo on the beach. Randy is in MI enjoying work. Sarcasm there. When they arrived we met at the Shrimp Basket. Christmas morning we were at the condo about 9am and the kids were hot to trot to get into their packages.
Renato prepared a nice meal of honey ham, pork, carrots, cauliflower, taters, fresh baked bread and mushrooms. We all ate our fill.
The weather has been great with sun and high 60s for the first half of their 9 days here but warn weather is still forecast but with lots of rain the last half. We have also been to Steamers as they love the oysters there.
The day they arrived we went to the new house so they could check it out. We returned a couple days later because Judy and I had to meet with Patrick to discuss and plan a few things. Renato brought us two orange trees he's been growing for 3 or 4 years from seeds. He purchased a shovel, some good dirt and some fertilizer and planted the trees for us. Thanks Renato, I see oranges in the future.
Judy still loves palm trees and I was surprised she didn't want one at the house. Guess what? The Grove planted some around the pond we are on and there's now one between the house and the pond.
The kids spend one afternoon and evening at OWA, the new Indian amusement park, shops, and convention center and I'm sure casino when Alabama allows them.
