We took 20 pictures of the inside of this place and still missed a lot of it. We were going to crop out the busboy but didn’t want to lose Santa and the reindeer so here’s a little extra for you: a Texas busboy.   And no Christmas letter would be complete without a Christmas tree, so . . .

and one more . . .

Happy Holidays                                                    December 18, 2002

You have to kinda look around, over and through us but there really is a tree in this picture.   Our wish is that all of you have had a happy and prosperous year and an enjoyable holiday season.   Hugs to all!!  Chuck and Kalyn

Happy holidays!!!!  (Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, etc)  We couldn’t believe the number of folks who wanted to see pictures of our new bedroom after all the motorhome pics we just sent.  It kinda makes one proud to have such a like-minded group of friends.  We skipped the bedroom on the first go-round because it has so darn many mirrors (not necessarily a bad thing!) that it is difficult to take pics in there without having a picture of yourself taking the picture.  Welp, I gave my navigator/secretary/photographer the assignment and she managed to find a way to get the job done rather proficiently.  My favorite part was watching her peek out of closets and cupboards and hanging from the ceiling with camera in hand.  Now those pics would have been the great ones!! Nevertheless, here is the rest of our new home . . .

We also have a toilet and another sink in a small room off to the right but we didn’t think that even the most deviant of our friends, with the possible exception of my brother-in-law, would find that area of much interest.  My beautiful and wonderful wife (I was threatened with severe mental and physical torment if I omitted this) also took me out to dinner on my birthday to the most extravagantly decorated restaurant I have ever seen.   It is hard to believe that this place is located in Harlingen, Texas, instead of New York or San Francisco . . .
