Today was another cloudy, cool, soggy day--the third one in a row. The moisture is really needed after months without rain, so we try to have a positive attitude about the gloomy and wet weather.

After breakfast, John headed off to wood carvers. This morning's group met in the RV park kitchen because Wallace is away until after Christmas. Their numbers were down this morning because some other folks have also left the fort to visit family over the holidays. While John was gone, I took care of my usually Monday morning chores--changing bed linens and doing some laundry.

We were running short on some groceries, so when John got home we decided to take a run to Del Rio for lunch and shopping. Since the weather was on the chilly side, Wendy's Chili and baked potato sounded like a good choice for lunch. Our next stop was Sears and then on to Wal Mart where we ran into Chuck and Lois Endris several different times while searching out the items we needed. It was then back on the road and home to Brackettville.

John's back/neck flared up again today, so maybe he overdid the activity and will try resting more tomorrow. We ended our day watching a couple of favorite TV shows and working on this year's Christmas letter.
