Christmas was spent with Carol, George, Michael and Ariana in Palm Desert. I can't believe I failed to take one picture of any of them over the holidays! However, we did have a wonderful time. Bob and I spent a week in the RV staying in Palm Springs, and spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Carol and George's house. Was cold by Palm Springs standards, but I didn't mind it as it felt a lot more like Christmas bundled in a coat and scarf! Carol cooked up some wonderful dinners and it was really nice to be together.

Michael and Ariana are expecting a baby girl in January and Ariana is READY for baby to come. She is a tiny gal and baby has added almost a third to her weight. Sleeping comfortably seems out of the question. They are both working on music scores for two different films and it's exciting to see them moving forward with their music. Was a good visit.

I did take a photo of the Marilyn Monroe statue erected in downtown Palm Springs. It is VERY TALL and seems to fit right in near all the Sidewalk Stars of famous desert entertainers. Bob and Bentley were dwarfed by her size.

Was a fun and relaxing way to wind up the year.
