Hanukah/ Christmas Celebration

Randal and I decorated our livingroom for the holiday season


Our first holiday celebration in Osoyoos took place on the 7th night of lighting of the Hanukah candles. Randal and I invited two couples in for refreshments and an explanation of Hanukah. They are from Saskatchewan and like us are first timers at NK'MIP RV Resort. They had not heard of Hanukah so found it very interesting. The six of us spent an evening of good conversation and laughs.


The Snow Birds of NK'Mip Resort compose a photo album to help identify each other. Randal shaved so he could look his best. They held two turkey suppers two weeks apart. Although we did not take part in the festive meals, we were told they fed 130 people. Now they are gearing up for a New Years Eve Party. I wonder how many will be up to see 2015 in!!

After Christmas we drove north in the snow to Kelowna to be with Kerry Hilderman's family.Our host were Terri and Trevor Budworth.
