A great weekend with Amber

Bernie and I are blessed to have three girls. Amber, our youngest, came for a visit last weekend.  It was great.  Thank you Amber.

Yours truly, Bernie, Amber

FIRST STOP - THE OUTLET MALL OF COURSE
Amber and Bernie on their return, looks like they did some damage and had some fun.

They were kind to "the old guy" and left me at home, I was SOOOO disappointed, NOT.

After the trip to the mall was out of the way we got down to some serious family time and enjoyed every minute of it. Amber got a tour of our resort, some good shopping, a couple of good sleeps, and times to meet many of our friends.

On Sunday friends Ken and Doreen hosted “a meet the daughters” evening. What does that mean?  Well, Amber was in town - along with friends Ron and Karen’s daughter Lori. So Ken and Doreen hosted a “meet the daughters” BBQ where we all had a great time.  Everyone there was from Alberta, except Bernie and I, but they let us stay anyway.

Since Bernie and I and others are leaving in the next few days we had a “farewell” block party last week.  These pictures will show you that winter Texans definitely have too much fun.  We bowled with oranges, golfed with marshmallows, played a wienie game, (no details will be released, this is a family friendly blog) and capped it with a “Mexican Pile On” dinner. Needless to say a good time was had by all and everyone ate way too much.

Bernie about to drive a giant marshmallow.
She did way better than me.

So now it’s time to say goodbye to our friends, Tropic Star and S. Texas as we head for Arizona tomorrow morning.
Adios, see you next fall.

More from the road later in the week.  We’ll be spending a couple of weeks in Arizona before moving on through California, Oregon, and Washington to B.C.  We really miss our friends here, all of them, even the four legged ones.
This fellow comes by to visit and chatter at us all the time.  We thought he was going to crawl in our car yesterday.  He came to our block party, sitting on a Palm tree for awhile but then he came right down to visit with us all.

As always, thanks for stopping by and please do leave a comment when you can.

Neal and Bernie
