Merry Christmas

What, you mean it’s Dec 26th.  We had a great, memorable, and unique Christmas.

It all started Dec 24th when the kids, Topaz and I got rustled out of bed at 5:30am so we could get an early start to meet Eric’s 9pm flight in Albuquerque, NM.  Everything was packed, all we needed was Grandma on a rocking chair on the roof rack like the Beverly Hill Billies.  Then Genny announces that her ipod touch password was changed and she was locked out.  The only way I know how to fix it is a factory reset, so with the car in the alley all packed up, I went in with the computer and spent the next hour fixing up Genny’s main entertainment for the next 2 days.  Then off we went. Long about the intersection of I15 and I210, the forward tie strap let loose of the skis and they swung around on the roof rack, Roy alerted the driver to make an emergency stop to adjust things and we continued on.  Next stop was Victorville where we refueled at IHOP and Costo gas.  That’s when we heard that Eric’s plane in Grenada had mechanical issues and they needed to fly a mechanic in from Puerto Rico, luckily now our late start and airport closures in Albuquerque was not something to worry about because he would be missing all of his connections and we’re up for another adventure.  We had a brief stop at Seligman, AZ for a bit of gas and then we stopped in Flagstaff for dinner and a plan for the night, Motel 6 in Gallup, NM.  Somewhere in there Topaz managed to eat something that made her heave and belch on a regular basis, this went on all night and regularly for nearly 24 hours.  During the night she dragged me outside for a walk several times, the tractor trailer in the parking lot ran it’s engine, the family above us arrived and the kids jumped off the bed many times, then I heard people talking, Topaz belching and finally the sun came up, 3 degrees F in Gallup New Mexico.  Whew, what a night.

Christmas Morning the kids made some kind of comments about, humph, we’re in a motel without a tree or gifts or Daddy!  I reminded them that Christmas is about the greatest gift of Jesus coming to save us from our sins and everything else is just our desire for material stuff.  They didn’t really go for that, so we all jumped in the car and drove for 2.5 hours to Albuquerque, NM to meet Eric.  We stuffed everything we had stashed in the passenger seat including Topaz into the back and Eric jumped into the passenger seat with his bags on his lap and off we went.  After a few minutes I mentioned to Eric that he smelled a little like margarita, but he whispered back that it was rum.  Hmm. By now everyone was pretty darn hungry and unless grandma’s house is around the corner, you would have a hard time finding a place to eat on Christmas Day.  Luckily, we were in Indian Casino territory, after trying a few casinos, we found one for lunch.  Eric repacked his duffle bag and found the broken bottle of rum, but no top and no rum, hmm.  A few hours after dark we arrived and Grandma Beth’s house in South Fork, CO.

This morning we cross country skied up and down the Rio Grand River, Topaz ran and ran and ran, we shoveled a patch so we could play on the ice, the kids dug a hole in the ice about 8 inches deep to create a water hole.  They scooped water up and spilled it on the ice for a smooth finish.  Another great dinner and now were all watching Pirates of the Caribbean.

Good Night!
