Christmas Day 2017 In Palm Springs

After morning  coffee, and special Christmas Day oatmeal, as David and I were in the spa soaking up sunshine and watching the hummingbirds, I said to David, “I really can’t think of any place I’d rather be on Christmas Day than here.”  Granted it only got up to 71º here today (according to our pool control) but it was sunny all day.  We’re only using the spa this trip as it’s just too cold at night to heat the pool in December.  I just bought 16 new white chairs (with a nice discount for buying “in bulk”) from the very gay True Value Hardware here.  David arranged them and I started singing “Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies, ’cause everyone goes, everyone knows, Brother Love’s show.”  (One of Neil Diamond’s best, Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show.)  Because it looks like we are about to have a revival here.
