Dec. 24th...on the road again...again

We pulled out of Los Baños on Dec. 24th.  Christmas with the family in VA is not going to happen...especially after stopping at another Ford dealer 100 miles south of Los Baños with more car probs...(which turned out to be minor, but still used up the day).

We are getting good practice moderating negative emotions and thanking God for all He does for us every day. Besides, the kids are watching our responses and we are teaching them every second with our actions and responses.  So, I stifle my first inclination to roll the car off a cliff and give thanks in all things.  It really is good practice.

Incidentally, for all that believe in Santa Claus...

As of December 24th, he was stuck at Auto Zone in CA with a dead battery...

So,we spent Christmas with my grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncle in sunny Indio, CA...It was great! 

We got up, walked to Starbucks then went for a swim at the campground pool.  We then spent a wonderful day with the family.  All the kids said it was the best Christmas ever...John
