December 21 to 29, 2009

Lise and I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas. A special seasonal wish for all of you, including Murray and Myrna who sent their best wishes to us earlier. We still don't know how to answer people's comments properly in this blogger format.

Christmas was quiet for us. We opened a few presents and spent the day trying to phone family. The Resort put on a very nice Christmas dinner (although the meat was prime rib :-) ) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 198 people were served which is to say that there were a lot of people staying here over Christmas instead of going home.
We've been to see a couple of movies in the last few days - first we saw 'It's Complicated' with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin; that was a pretty good movie - and then we went to 'Avatar' with our friends Art and Linda. I really liked that movie. The others thought it was pretty good. I thought it was awesome, but then it is quite up my alley as a sci-fi fantasy reader. I think I'd go to see it again for sure.
Yesterday a few of us decided to go out on a hike to try to find an arch at the top end of a canyon. Even though we didn't find the arch we still enjoyed the hike. I think everyone was pretty tired after this hike. It was 7.3 miles round trip and we had a bit of climbing to do while climbing up the canyon. After we got back we sat around in the motorhome of our hike leader, and enjoyed a nice glass of wine, some snacks, and of course, fellowship. I needed to spend a few minutes in the hot tub later in the evening to relax sore muscles :-).
