So , a little up-date from our Trip to La Quinta ( near Palm Springs ) for the Christmas Holiday with my In-laws . First we booked a very nice Suite near the Freeway for one night , where we had to get off anyway , to go to my Sister in-law's house for the get-together . We checked in and then changed our Clothes for the 6pm gathering . Qing got to meet two of my late Wife's Sister's and Husband's and the only Brother she had and their Families of course . This was very nice for both of us , as Qing was warmly welcome into this part of the Family with open Arms and loving Heart's . I myself had never any doubt it would be otherwise , as I have alway's taking very good care of Nancy for all of the 30 year's . They wanted to see me happy and with a Wife again , as one could tell by the way they all excepted the way we have met over the Internet . Anyway , we had a wonderful Dinner and talk to all the Family present ... til almost midnight . After a good night sleep ( yes we did sleep some ) , we all met again for a big Brunch at the same ( my Sister in-laws ) house . It was my turn this time to bring a Fruit tray , for which I bought all kinds of Fruit the day before and all the Knife's and Board's to go to work the next morning , as I wanted it to be fresh Fruit , not a Tray put together day's before at a Store .
After filling us up with some great Egg dish and mexican Pasole and Tamales we all drove west to Moreno Valley ( except my Brother in-law , who lives in Arizona ) to Visit my Mother and Father in-law on our way back home . Qing was of course excepted the same there and we spend a wonderful afternoon there also .
From there it was about a hour and a half drive back to our Home . But we did encounter a bad multiple Car accident on Highway 138 which closed both sides of the Road . Two Helicopter's had to land , picking up the injured . It was an awful sight to see and especially on Christmas day . So all the Traffic had to do some OFF-Roading to get around it and back on the Highway . As it was dark by now and I did not want to come Home and cook Dinner , I ask Qing what she would like to Eat ? After deciding and getting to Restaurant Row ... guess what ? All was closed , but El Torito . But the line was out the Door , so home we went and heated up left-over's for Dinner . Ahhhh , was not too bad . I think because we were pretty tired from the long drive . That was true , we both slept till 11am this morning . I needed it bad , as I'm finally getting over that nagging Cough of mine . These Chinese Herb's and Qing's love ...really do work very well together , I must say .
As most Photo's were taken by my Brother in-law with a pro Camera , I do not have any ... but a few . I will show my Fruit Tray , which I was very proud of .. to say the least .
