Feb
5th – 15 … We
moved back to Indian Waters on the 5th
where we were in site 191 next to the wall. Site was good but it's
noisy there as there is a street on the other side of the wall. Doug
& Fran moved to site 150 where they will be for 3 more weeks. We
spent 11 days here and Dixie kept quite busy doing haircuts (28) plus
she even did a perm and a toenail polish (this was a first!). Dixie
also worked a few days on Fran's medical billing. Mike spent his
time on Ebay. We were quite busy!!!!
On
the 7th
we got up at 4am and drove to Algodones to get Dixie's broken tooth
fixed. We arrived at 830a (with the time difference). The plan was
to get the crown in one day, however once it was checked out they
determined a root canal was needed. Of course that meant it couldn't
all be done in a day. We got out of the dentist around 11am. We
walked around a bit and then went to the outdoor cafe where Pepe
played. We had a nice lunch and listened to the music (the shrimp
salad was great). We then went to Yuma and did some shopping and
stayed overnight with John & Angie Hebblemen. We had a nice
visit & dinner with them. Friday we headed back to Algodones for
a 930a appointment. Of course the crown wasn't ready so they
suggested we go have breakfast. We headed to the restaurant that is
across from the customs line. It was a great breakfast. The crown
didn't fit real well so the dentist had to keep grinding it down to
get the bite right. Then when it was cemented in, it was high
again....more grinding. We left around 11am with it still not
feeling right. We made the 138 mile drive back to Indio and within
an hour of arriving home a piece of the crown broke! My kind of
luck!!! I called to let them know and we decided I would go back on
the 18th
once we move to Ehrenberg. That evening we went to Doug & Fran's
for and excellant dinner and Danny came over.
Saturday
the 9th
Buster and Sandy come for lunch around noon and we visited for the
afternoon. Doug & Fran went on a bike ride with a local group
and then come for dinner with us.
Sunday
we went to the Polo Games at Eldorado Polo Club. Doug, Fran and
Danny went with us. It was a first for all of them. We watched 1 ½
games. One went into overtime so it was a good game! We came back
for dinner at our place.
Monday
I went to a lady's 5th
wheel & gave her a perm - Not something I usually do but I had
done one for her several years ago. It was nice to do it at her
place – she had the smell instead of us. Fran and I went 'junk'
shopping in the afternoon. We had to go to the new Revials store over
by Costco.
On
Tuesday we went for an early Valentine's dinner at 'Chef George'! We
tried the soup this time. Doug had an excellent cream of mushroom
and I had the fresh pea! The greek salad was suburb as usual. We
both shared entrees – Mike the goulash & Fran a combo Italian
plate.
Wednesday
Fran and I had a pedicure (Deal Chicken 'deal'). After that we had
lunch at Sub King and shopped some more. Mike & I met Ross for
dinner at the Grill on Main in old town La Quinta.
Thursday
Doug & Fran went to Ontario to pick up Tammy Bergman. We met
them in Palm Springs for the Village Fest street fair at 6p. We
walked around a bit (not much as Doug's back is really bothering him)
and then stopped at the Village Pub for a happy hour drink and
dinner. Early in the day we went out and opened a checking account
at Wells Fargo. It will be nice to have a bank that we can do
business with while traveling. We also had to make our last Trader
Joe run (boo who) to stock up on a few things!
Friday
was the last trip to WinCo (another fav). I cooked brisket for
dinner for the group...Danny also came over. Lexi had a Valentines
Dance so she wasn't able to come. Our last night at Indian Waters
for this season!
