We stayed in New Mexico from December 22 until December 29. We camped at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, which is 8 miles south of Alamogordo. We visited Kenny and Robin on Christmas Eve, and Kenny took us out to the flight line where the base was having a community day. This is where the public and family members can come look at some of the aircraft flown by the units at Holloman. Then on Christmas Day, we were invited to spend the day with Kenny and Robin.

This is the wonderful spread Robin did for lunch - she's Italian, so this is all yummy Italian stuff: caponata, prosciutto, black olives, artichokes, Italian bread, ham, turkey, Romano cheese. We thoroughly enjoyed it. For dinner, she and Kenny cooked chicken Parmesan and pasta Alfredo from scratch. It was pretty nice not to have to cook! I'm very proud that they both cook - too many young people don't.

Life would be boreing if we never cooked. Most of our best times involve homemade food.
