Desert Pools - last time for this season!
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!

Our last trip this year to Desert Pools!
Mar
19-Apr 1... On the 19th
we made our last trek to Indian Waters. The site we reserved by the
pond was taken so they put us in site 206 on
the east wall. Dixie continued Fran's work.
Tue/Wed we checked out a place
for Doug and Fran to stay. We determined the Riverside County
fairgrounds (about a half mile away) was the best deal at $20 a night
for full hookups. They pretty much had the place to themselves.
On Wed. we went over there to cehck it out and find out where to
park and pay.
On Fri. the 23rd
Bob and Cheryl came over to check out Indian Waters and go out for
pizza. Cheryl and Dixie did a little shopping first and then we were
headed to Rosati's...Bob and Mike went there first but found out that
they didn't serve beer so we had to go to plan B...we ended up at
Good Stuff pizza!
On Sat. Doug and Fran arrived about 130p. We met
them outside our park and went with them to the fairgrounds. Danny
came over on his motorcycle and Doug and him rode to Pioneertown ,
with the rest of us following in the car. We had a great dinner at
Pappy and Harriet's and listened to the band!
Sun. Dixie and Fran
grocery shopped and Doug and Danny went on a motorcycle ride. Mike hung out at the mh. The
wind blew bad but it did go down some so Doug was able to cook our
wings outside. Dixie gave Danny a much needed haircut.
On Monday,
Dixie and Fran worked. Dixie made split pea soup which we all had for lunch.
Tues. Doug and Fran came over to do their
laundry and do a little 'pool' time. Doug and Fran cooked some ribs
at our mh. Danny and Lexi came over.
Wed. I cut Doug and Fran's
hair and colored mine and hers. The work mail came so Fran and Dixie
worked some more. Fran cooked a great chicken dish for dinner!
On Thur. the
29th
Doug, Fran and Dixie drove to Cabazon and met Aunt Marge for lunch
and some shopping. Dixie used her Birthday money from Dad and got a
great buy on a light weight leather jacket. We lunched at Ruby's
Inn. On the return trip we took the first exit to Palm Springs and
makd the trek all the way on Hwy 111. Mike golfed with Bill, Gloria
and several from their park. We all met back at the motorhome and
then met Danny and Lexi at Rockin Baja in La Quinta.
Friday Dixie
stayed busy doing 7 haircuts. Doug and Fran rode their bikes to Julian and returned via Borongo Springs. We intended to meet at the Jackalope
Ranch for Happy Hour but it was packed so we headed down the road to
Neils for pizza and wings!
Sat. Doug and Fran came over in the afternoon and we went to
the pool. We then went to D & F for cocktails and then a
wonderful dinner at Chef George on Washington and I10.
Sunday Doug
and Fran left for their trip home. We will miss hanging out with
them. We are talking about doing some traveling together next year!
Dixie went to church in the park. Then it was grocery shopping at WinCo
and laundry back at the park. We spent a quite evening at home!!! Tomorrow
we head back to Desert Hot Springs for our last 2 weeks in the
valley.
