Apr
2 – 15 … We set up at
Desert Pools in site 138 next the the pickle ball court. The back of
the park was closed off for the season so we were not able to get a
north facing site. In the afternoon we headed over to Cat Spa to
visit Bob & Cheryl. Dixie needed to take their picture so she
could make them 'calling cards'. We had drinks with them and Jim &
Linda (Quartzsite).
On Tues. we went back over for dinner with them.
It was our last visit for the season as they leave on Wed. Doug &
Fran made it home on the 3rd
and Dad on the 4th.
Mike played a little vollyball while we were here and Dixie did a
few haircuts. Business is slowing down now that many are headed
home!
On Fri the 6th
we had happy hour with Glenn & Henrietta (friends from Edmonton).
They leave on the 9th.
We celebrated out 21st
anniversary on the 7th.
We drove to Cabazon to the outlet mall. The place was packed. We
hit the Ed Hardy store and wondered through a few others and then
headed back. We picked up Danny and he went with us to dinner at the
Outback. Afterwords we made a stop at 'The Alley and Trader Joes”.
Easter Sunday Danny came over and at 730a we headed out to Aunt
Marge's. We made a quick stop at her condo before going to church.
After church we attended the breakfast there. We had a wonderful
Easter dinner at Aunt Marge's around 3p. Those attending besides us
– Uncle Don, Lexi, boyfriend-Ryan, roomate-Catlain, Don's son-Eric
and his 2 kids.
On Wed. the 11th
Dixie flew to Houston for the day to visit with Ruthie. A mutual
friend, Lisa Bronte picked Dixie up at the airport and they went to
see Ruthie. The got their shortly after 12 and stayed until after
330p. They had a great visit reminiscing. Ruthie is communicating
better! It was a long day, leaving at 630a and returning at 7p but
it was worth it.
The 12th
was Aunt Marge's Birthday – we celebrated on Easter. That day we
drove into downtown Palm Springs and walked through the Village Fest
Street Fair. We were going to eat there but the wind was blowing too
much so we found a place called Bill's Pizza and ate their. On Fri.
the 13th
the wind blew a lot and it rained. It was a laundry day and the rest
of the time was spent inside.
Sat. we met Danny and Lexi at the
Civic Center Park for the Autism Walk. We never actually did the
walk but we were able to see it all. Lexi decided she wanted to play
at the playground. All was well until she started playing with a
little girls scooter...she got very upset when she had to give it
back. They went home and we made a last trip to check Ross's condo
and to Trader Joe's. We stocked up on 'stuff'! Then we went back to
Danny's to visit for our last time.
Today (15th) we drive 25 miles to
Fantasy Springs Casino for the night before heading to Laughlin. We
plan to make one last stop at WinCo!
