Mar
8th – Apr 7th...WOW,
where does the time go?
On
the 8th
we moved the motorhome 3 miles down the road from Elaine's to
Campbell Cove RV park – site 6. We have a site for a month and it
faces the lake. We found the problem to be that we had no shade in
the front (where the view is) and it has been in the 80's & 90's.
We settled in and then went to the Eagles with Doug, Fran, & Dad
and Elaine for Fish. We also met Jack & Carla Van Voast and
Roger & Val Golden there. The next day Dixie had another bout
(or a continuation) of the stomach virus that lasted 6 more days. We
didn't do much that week except go to the Moose for a Pork dinner
that Elaine cooked.
On
the 14th
Dad took the boat out. All of us and Jack & Carla went aboard
and made a nice trip to Havasu Springs near Parker Dam where we
stopped for lunch. There were lots of 'spring breakers' out and
about on the water – we even watched some jump from a cliff into
the water which was around 60 degrees. Doug & Fran got in the
water for a short time...burrr.. but didn't cliff jump!
On
St. Patty's Day we went to church, the swap meet, to Van Voast's and
then Dugen's for dinner.
On
the 20th
we went to Sara Park and hiked for 3 hours through 'The Crack' and to
the Arch. It was a neat hike. That evening we all went to Van
Voast's for dinner. Dan/Amy Hutton and Golden's were there as well.
On
the 22nd
Dad had shoulder surgery to repair a torn Rotator Cuff. It ended up
being more damaged than the doctor thought so he will have a slower
recovery than expected. He will wear a sling for 1 month 24/7 and
then wear it overnight for another month.
On
the 23rd
the girls went to a Lunch/Style Show at the Moose. Elaine modeled!
Sunday,
the 24th
we went to church at the Islander with VV and Dugan's. Afterwords
we all went to breakfast at Papa Bears. Later it was dinner at
Dan/Elaine's with D/F, VV and Dugan's – celebrating Elaine's Birthday
a bit early.
The
25th
was another boat ride – this time, the other direction, up the
gorge to Pirate's Cove. We ran into Golden's on their boat along the
way and then again at the Cove.
Doug
& Fran left for home on the 26th!
It was also Elaine's Birthday. That evening we went to her friend,
Patty's for dinner.
On
the 27th
we checked out a couple of RV parks and then went to the Beachcomber
to see if our Canadian friends, George & Gail were around. As it
happened they were having a little gathering so we stayed!
Good
Friday (22nd)
Dixie went to church at noon. Danny & Lexi arrived that evening for the weekend and we dined once again at Dad/Elaine's.
On
the 23rd
we colored Easter Eggs, cooked a bit and then went on a boat ride
through the channel and around the Island.
Easter
Sunday we went to church at the Island and then to Dad/Elaine's for
dinner. We had 15 there. (VV, Golden's, Patty & her Mom, and
other friends of Elaine's).
April
2 we went to Roger & Val's for dinner/drinks. We enjoyed their
new winter home and the sunset/lake view!
On
the 3rd
we walked the channel area. We met Dad/Elaine and then took the
shuttle boat across to the Casino in CA where we had lunch.
Bill
& Gloria Brinkman spent the weekend in Lake Havasu so we cooked
dinner at Dad/Elaine's for them on the 5th.
Then on the 6th
we went to their new Motorhome for drinks and then to dinner at
Scotty's for broasted chicken...Mmmmm!
April
7th
– we celebrated our 23rd
Anniversary by going with Bill & Gloria to Laughlin, NV to the
Golden Nugget for their Champagne Brunch. It was much fun!
Also
during our stay in Lake Havasu City - Dixie did some work for
Fran... and we spent quite a bit of time checking out the Real Estate
market here. Just 'thinking' about selling the condo in MT and
finding something down here. (reverse our current life)
We
were scheduled to go to Needles, CA for our next stop but we decided
to stay in Lake Havasu for another 6 days From there we will move up
the road to Bullhead City, AZ for 2 weeks. By then maybe the weather
will be warm enough to go home!
