December 30, 2008 - Christmas Past -











Another Christmas has come and gone, but I must say this was one of the best that I can recall. It was hectic, but relaxing too at times. Christmas Eve was spent with Travis and his family. We enjoyed a great dinner that Rosa prepared and a Christmas Celebration around the tree before Travis left for work. It is always so much fun watching kids open gifts and the looks on their faces is priceless. Later that evening we took the whole crew to Arabian Nights for the dinner show (where Travis was working). Christmas morning found us on the road by 8:15 a.m. to Venice, Florida for Christmas with Mom & Don. Again, we enjoyed a delicious dinner after Travis and family arrived and then another round of opening gifts. It was gorgeous in at the Beach House. Couldn't have asked for better weather with temps in the low 80's, sunny blue skies and a slight breeze.

Rudy, Elani and I stayed with Mom & Don for the rest of the weekend, with trips to a couple different Beaches in the area, the Jetty, the ice cream store, a little after-Christmas shopping and then some just plain relaxing.

Sunday, we left fairly early so that we could get back to Apopka to catch the bus with the Church Choir to sing at Epcot for the Candlelight Processional. It was a late night, but definitely worth the trip and time as we heard the story of Jesus' birth and sang the songs to minister to the 3,000 guests at each Show at Epcot.

Back to work this week for a short 3-day work week and before you know it 2009 will be upon us and we will be off and running again with all kinds of activities (already planned and scheduled).

We will be in Daytona for the "Roar Before the Rolex" in a few days and then to the Daytona Pre-Race Thunder FanFest later in the month. That should keep us tied over until NASCAR race season starts in February.

See ya on the Road!!!
