Christmas at the Ross's

We had a very good day.  Breakfast and seeing what Santa put in our stockings. A visit with Tony, back to open the stuff Santa left.  Big dinner then laying around saying "oh I ate to much"

Insane is the thought that one to Xmas and you visit malls – that there will be no one in the stores.

Storm Damage Pictures

Notice the sign - Beach Driving Conditions - Bad!!

So as you can see last night was a bit of fun.  We still do not know how much rain we had.  We guess a BUNCH.

Our house had a bit of water leak around the windows on the front side of the house.  The rain was driven horizontally at the front side of the house.  The sun is now out, but the winds are still blowing 25 to 30 MPH and the surf is huge!!

The people in the motorhome are going to need a BIG tow truck to get out.  As the surf went in and out during the storm it sunk into the sand, all the way down to the axles!!

Saturday Sunrise

So Paul and I got up to take sunrise pictures.  The front has not completely come through and I thought it was not going to be a good rise - well, as you can see I was wrong.  This is 5 vertical (portrait) pictures that  were stitched by AutoPan Pro.

Enjoy
