Christmas day was wonderful for us, And no supper last night of course but we did watch an excellent dvd that Ron and Loree loaned us. Called Elvis Lives a 25th anniversary of his death. This was an amazing 2 hour show of 25 of his top songs with him singing and his original back up bands and signers, The technology was excellent and you could swear you were seeing him sing live, Shots of the original back ups as well as the same people playing and singing 25 years later. We were riveted to this show all the way through AND I did not fall asleep, it was that good. Filmed to a sold out concert in Memphis in 2002.
This morning a couple of nice early walkabouts as the sun begins to rise on a nice crispy morning , but not too cold. Only 3.5 miles walked today.
We puttered around for a while then at 9:30 the bunch of us went play shuffle board. A fun game outside we only played one time before about 10 years ago. It was interesting and a good 90 minutes of fresh air. We lost the first 2 games badly but beat Patsy and Bill. We got lucky? Or as Patsy said they let us win. That's her story and she is sticking to it matter we all had a good time, and a few laughs as well.

Then outside enjoying the sunshine in front of our coach blocking the wind 73 F this afternoon is nice but for the NNW wind maybe 20 mph. but still a wonderful afternoon to enjoy more fresh air and our page turners.

our view this afternoon |
Then at 2 pm I opened this package of back ribs I bought the other day. Can't turn down a deal like this!.For 6.82 we got this wonderful huge side of ribs more than enough for two very filling meals. Maybe should have made it 3 meals. I prepped 1/2 the package (3 ribs each) to do on our Weber Q. for the recipe you can click
HERE or my recipe blog to right sidebar.

got these ready for our WeberQ Froze the other half |
Then about 4 pm our friends joined us for Happy Hour in the sun and most of us out of the wind.

Rob and Patsy carrying on |

We did the usual chatting and solving all the worlds problems . Then Ron joined us for a bit with Freddie.

About 5 pm they all headed on home and I prepped our salad as the desert sun was setting, another great sunset it was.
|
right outside our door always wonderful sunsets here |
|
now to put the ribs on our grill mat with some sticky tasty bbq sauce to give them a nice glaze 3 ribs each but so much meat! |
|
fall off the bone ribs, were excellent more than we could eat, but leftovers are always welcome here |
Just another wonderful desert day that we all enjoyed, with great weather and sunshine, Exactly what we are here for.

ReplyDeleteIt is quite comfortable in the sun and out of the wind, n0 complaints here. It will get cooler though too.
DeleteLooks like another fine day in the desert
ReplyDeleteIt sure was Larry except for the wind, sunshine and warm is what we are here for.
DeleteWe enjoyed your rib recipe on Christmas. The ribs had thawed so we decided why not. There are no rules about what you eat on a holiday...lol
ReplyDeleteNice sunset pictures that ended what read like another great day with friends.
Glad you enjoyed the ribs they are so tasty.and tender.
DeleteLoving the desert scenery and sunsets , too you be in some nicer warm weather.
That supper looked so good!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoyed Elvis. Pretty amazing isn't it.
Really loved the Elvis video it was amazing.
DeleteP.S. Thanks for the nice things you say about Freddy. He can be pretty excitable, he just loves everybody so much.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Freddy is a wonderful dog, loves everyone and gets excited easily, but then he settles down
DeleteI've never played shuffleboard. It looks like fun!! Enjoy the warm weather for me too ... it's getting downright cold here.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun game. Loving the sunshine and warmth. it is cooling down but still very nice.
DeleteToo bad for the wind but we all still manage to have a great day together.
ReplyDeleteThe ribs look good as always. :)
Less wind today, but we do enjoy the sun and good times.
DeleteThanks the ribs were excellent.
Sorry about the wind but still another awesome day.
ReplyDeleteWe do get wind here but as long as the sun is shining it is wonderful.
DeleteThe motor home is low enough to block a lot of the wind and I'm sure that helps in sitting outside.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the game and that Patsy and Bill let you win a round.
It is nice that it does block the wind pretty good.
DeleteThe game was fun and even better when they let us win, lol...
You sure are getting the weather you came to enjoy, I hope it continues for you. I drove onto the Imperial Water District property looking a section of the old 'Plank Road' that I heard was in the area. The Border Patrol had a nice observation post on a ridge near the border fence and on the section of road I was looking for. I was escorted out of the area ... never did make it up there!
ReplyDeleteWe are loving the weather a bit cooler today but no wind and we have sunshine. We saw the old plank road a few times years ago it is real cool, too bad you could not get to see it.
DeleteRibs looked so delicious. Sitting in Apache Junction, the wind is also cool here. Oh well the dogs get a longer walk then.
ReplyDeleteThe ribs were very tasty thanks. Enjoy your time there at AJ, At least it is not cold like back home.
