Quartzsite and Lake Havasu City

Feb 13-19...We enjoyed our stay in Rainbow Acres. Mike Buckley and a couple (Loren & Linda) were our lot mates! We had happy our a couple of times with them. On Wednesday we rode with Dad and Elaine to Alcodones, Mexico. Dixie got her teeth cleaned, we had fish/shrimp taco's, picked up some prescription medicine, bought strawberries & asparagus, and stood in line for 1.75 hrs to get through customs!!!!! Not sure we will go back anytime soon. We also stopped at a roadside stand and picked up some fresh vegtables. While in Quartzsite, Dixie shopped a lot for jewelry making supplies. This is the place to buy rocks and supplies! We attended a jam session and potluck on Saturday, the 18^th. We had lunch at Silly Al's one day. Dixie also bought a new chair to use for her haircuts.....she also did 2 while we were there. On Sunday the 19^th we headed to Lake Havasu City after a lengthy stop at the Pilot for fuel!

Desert Hot Springs and a side Trip to Montana

Feb 1 – 13...We had a great time at the PS Follies on the 2^nd . After the show we had dinner and then walked through the street fair. It was our first time to the street fair. We went to Danny's on the 4^th for dinner. Dixie decided to fly back to Montana earlier than planned to see Levi's homecoming and senior night basketball games. She left on the 7^th and made it with no problems. While in Great Falls for 2 days she stayed at Doug and Frans. On the 9^th Dixie and Doug flew to the farm and returned on Sunday. She had a wonderful time visiting and attending the ballgames. The return flights were long – had to fly into ONT as PSP flights were full. Mike was backed up in traffic due to an accident so it took him almost 3.5 hrs to get from Desert Hot Springs to the Ontario airport. While Dixie was gone Mike dined with Bob and Cheryl a couple of time and went with them to the movie (J Edgar). We left for Quartzsite on the 13^th after making a grocery stop at WinCo in Indio. We arrived at a Rainbow Acres around 430p. This is a housing subdivision our all by itself with lots that hold 2-3 rv's. We stayed at one that we found through Bob and Cheryl.

Indian Waters/Desert Pools

Jan 23 – 31 ...Mon & Tue Mike helped Ross take down his display. Wednesday's First Tee golf lesson was on 'the turn'. Afterward we went to the Indio Municipal course and hit some ball to practice. Dixie did several haircuts throughout the week. We did a little pool time Thur and several days at the fitness center. On Friday we drove to Quartzsite to the RV show. We met Dad, the VanVoast's, Dugan's and Elaine Popular. The show had more of the same stuff. We also went to a few rock shops so Dixie could shop for some jewelry making supplies. On Saturday Danny came for dinner. Sunday was a stay at home day...Dixie went to church and worked on jewelry and Mike corrected an oil leak in the generator. Ross came for dinner.

Monday, the 30^th was move day – back to Desert Pools for 11 days. We started with a happy hour with Bob & Cheryl. On Tue Mike helped Ross and Dixie went to jewelry class and then to a Backstage Palm Springs Follies presentation with Cheryl.
