We spent a few days in Escondido at the Lawrence Welk timeshare. I think you needed gray hair or a bald head to stay there because most of the guests fit into that catagory. I really knew it must be the setting for the retired generation when I went into a little boutique store there and all the clothes were for older women--I mean older than me!
Anyway we had a relaxing time and because Escondido is close to Temecula we were able to spend some time with Maria and her family. We always enjoy visiting farmers' markets and this one was right at the resort. There were lots of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as some exotic foods from foreign lands.
Sierra is starting to play the organ for sacrament meetings in her ward. In the picture she is practicing with Maria leading to help her get the timing right. We were thrilled to attend sacrament meeting and hear Sierra play. She also accompanied about 50 young women, including Callie, who sang in that meeting. She really is gifted with her piano and organ playing.
Maria was recently called as a counselor in the Relief Society Presidency. They had their Christmas program and dinner while I was there.
It was fun to spend some time working on some sewing projects with Maria. She is so clever at decorating ideas for valences, beds, decorative pillows, etc.
One night we went to a musical version of "A Christmas Carol". It was quite well done and we enjoyed being together. There is a small theater at the resort. Here we are with Mr. Welk himself.
We enjoyed playing games with Sierra and Callie. One of our favorite games is a version of Scrabble called "Take Two". Here we just had fun making long words.
If you been wondering where Fred was in all these pictures--he was behind the camera. Stan was on a business trip.

I'm glad you guys all had a good time together. :) I remember visiting you guys at that condo when I was a kid.
Looks like a ton of fun! We are so excited to see you guys in 1 1/2 weeks!
None of those are very flattering pictures of me, but that's ok because I am glad you had a good time.
