As the year wound down all the snowbirds returned to Tucson and as the park filled up again all of the great activities here at the Voyager got back into full swing. Shows, dances, dinners and parties kept us quite busy. There’s never a dull moment around here in the winter. Like most of the other residents we decorated the house. The park was really beautiful with all the Christmas lights.
Our daughter Sara and the two grandchildren flew down on Christmas Eve for a two week visit. Christmas morning was a very lively and noisy time in the new house. We didn’t realize until then that all these new fangled toys that the kids have these days make sounds of some kind or another. There were times when the two grandkids had all the toys going at one time. Needless to say the house got pretty noisy at times until JoAnne got smart and hid all the new noisy toys away and brought out our toy box full of old, used but tried and true and QUIET toys for them to play with. Things settled down to a low roar after that and we quietly packed up all the new toys and sent them off to Sara’s house via Parcel Post. We kept the grandkids busy with trips to the Zoo, Desert Museum and several other area attractions. The two weeks passed by all too quickly and before we knew it Sara and the grandchildren were back home in Colorado.
We were on a plane to Colorado a week after Sara left for a long weekend and a 90th birthday celebration for Jim’s mother. It was a surprise party for her and she was very surprised and happy to see us. We didn’t do much of anything after returning to Tucson except sit around and catch our breath for a week. The house seemed very quiet after all the Christmas commotion. Bob and Fran, of the Bay Conspiracy, brought a new Holiday Rambler Neptune home and we all had to celebrate the new arrival. The shows, dances, dinners and parties continued and before we knew it, it was time for our next adventure.
