Boxing Day

We don't know what they do down here on the 26th but we are staying home. There were no shortage of shoppers down her for Christmas, the malls were packed. I had the impression that there was a major recession in the US, not so, business as usual and so glad to see that.
We are hoping to move into our new home this week and store the 5th wheel till April. We have the keys and have been moving some stuff over, the hold up is the slow transfer of funds from Canada to US banks, like 11 days, there must be a faster way? To speed things up I transferred funds to American Express and will find out tomorrow if I improved the funds transaction or made it worse?
Christmas in Texas is different than Ontario, we got over the lack of cold and snow real quick tho, LOL! It is a cool 42 F under Sunny skies today, we have the heater on???
We are hooked up to Skype and Google chat so we are able to call home economically. We may even get a visit from our good friends, Wayne and Lynda, in the New Year. It is nice to have a 2 bedroom home. We may have to hustle to upgrade some of the furniture.
The only complaint that we have is that the local Mexicans celebrate this season with firecrackers (day and night), the dogs are not happy and when they are not happy, neither are Mom and Dad. We have had a couple of sleepless nights and apparently this will keep up until New Years, Oh fun, maybe the new home will be more sound proof?
The Park put on a wonderful Christmas Dinner at noon and then we returned again at 5:30 to demolish the leftovers, then a band and dancing. We were to full and to tired (lack of sleep last night) to stay for the evening entertainment.
Best wishes to all!
