Merry Christmas

For Christmas dinner I cooked a turkey breast in my crockpot & it was so moist. This was my 2nd crockpot turkey breast & it won't be my last.

Today's weather felt as though we were in South Florida with the temperatures being in the 70's. Just last weekend we had near freezing temperatures.

After dinner we went to The Willows owner's house (W.T. & Glenda) for Irish coffee & dessert. We always have a good time visiting with them.

Update for December

We got the DTVPal converter box that we ordered last month on Dec. 2 & hooked it up. We were happy to see how clear the reception of the local channels was - it worked fine for about 20 minutes & then nothing. The power light was on but we had no reception - we couldn't even turn it off with the remote. I called the phone # on my order & was told they would send out a new converter box. I was given a RA# & was told they probably wouldn't want the defective box back (we're keeping it anyway). We're still waiting for the replacement - after 2 more calls I'm told that it is on backorder.

We went out to eat for Thanksgiving & was seated next to Al (a friend & flight instructor that Mike had worked with) & his family. We had a good time catching up on each other's news.

On Dec. 15 we ordered & downloaded the e-book "RVing Alaska" by Joe & Vicki Kieva & ordered their DVDs "RVing Alaska: What to Expect: How to Prepare" & "Alaska: RV Adventure of a Lifetime" - since we're planning our trip to Alaska in 2009.

Instead of going out for Christmas dinner, I've decided to cook a turkey breast in the crockpot - I did one earlier this year & it turned out great.
