Happy New Year 2013


Jan 1st – 21st ...Another 3 weeks completed! New Years day was a quite one. On the 4th Dixie went for a massage. A friend had given me a coupon for Happy Feet – the massage was different than most...very intense at times using pressure point areas. The rest of the day was spent shopping. The 5th we decided to go to a street market at the Spa Casino in downtown Palm Springs. From there we made a stop at Bill & Gloria's. Sunday was church at the rv park. Dixie did quite a few haircuts while at Desert Pools RV.
The 8th was move day to Indian Waters Rv resort. (site 233). We had our friends Glenn & Henrietta over for happy hour and snacks. We met Ross for dinner in old town La Quinta on Wed.  
Thurs. the 10th we went to the FMCA RV Rally. We were looking at motorhomes when some very high winds came up. We went to one of the seminars during the worst of it. We ventured through all the vendors but actually left without purchasing anything!. 
Friday we went to the happy hour gathering on the patio at the rv park. It was a bit cool but fun visiting.
On Sat. the 12th we drove to Aunt Marge's in the morning. We took her to lunch and helped her with her computer. About 230p we left for Buster & Sandy's. We had a wonderful dinner with them as well as Carece & kids and Josh.
Monday Mike helped Ross move some of his pictures. Tuesday we put together some picture matts for Ross as well as worked on a canvas picture project. 
On the 16th Mike went with Ross to the practice rounds of the Humana Golf Tournament and Dixie went shopping! On the 17th we went to Chef George with Ross, Stewart Williams (PGA meteorologist), Don & Cheryl Van Pelt (El Paso), Bob & Arlene Golby (pro golfer from the 50's/60's – won a Masters and 14 tournaments). We had a lovely time visiting. On Friday the 18th we went to the golf tournament. Saturday afternoon we did some errands and then stopped at Danny's. From there we went to Don & Cheryl's condo at the Monterrey Country Club for drinks and appetizers. Ross & Stewart were also there. Sunday we went back to the golf tourney. That evening Ross & Stewart came to the motorhome for a taco dinner!
The 21st was Dixie's 56th Birthday! We went grocery shopping at WinCo, went to visit Bill at Giant RV where he is now employed (unfortunately he called in sick so wasn't there). Later in the afternoon we went to the Jackalope Ranch for an early dinner. We stopped at the store on the way home and bought a German Chocolate Decadent cake mix and Dixie went home and made herself a Birthday Cake!!!! We sat outside by the firepit to finish off the night! I received many Birthday wishes on Facebook as well as some phone calls from family! Dixie managed to do several haircuts between all our running around the past 2 weeks. The 22nd we move back to Desert Pools!
