Janurary 2015

January 2015....New Years Day we drove to Carlsbad, Ca. We arrived at Aunt Marge's condo around noon. We visited with her, Shelly and Bob. Marge went with us to lunch at a fish place on the beach. We stayed with Danny & Lexi at the Towneplace Marriot in Vista, Ca. It was in between Marge's condo and the wedding venue. We had a pizza dinner with Danny & Lexi on Thursday. On Friday I went to Aunt Marge's to do her hair for the wedding. Then Lexi even let me curl her hair for the wedding. We all go dressed up to attend the wedding. The setting was at Twin Oaks Garden Estate. It was beautiful and the wedding was perfect. It was pretty cold for our sleeveless dresses but we all had sweaters. It was even cold in the tent but we had a great time anyway. It was great to see and visit with – Sheila, Jeromy and kids, Bob & Paula, and Marge and Shelly. We overnighted a second night. On Sat. we made a stop at Home Depot and Trader Joes and then made the 3 hr. drive back to the motorhome in Winterhaven.

The 4^th Dixie worked and we just hung around. The 5^th Dixie did a haircut. We went into Yuma for some shopping and also went to the movie “Unbroken” Very good movie!

The 10^th we drove into Yuma and had lunch at Bob & Carol's (our contractor). Dixie did 10 haircuts while at this park!

Monday the 12^th we left Yuma for Quartzsite. We stopped in Yuma at “It's a Stitch” the place the made our wheel covers – they needed to have them tighten one up. Once in Quartzsite we stopped at Satellite Advantage to check out why we couldn't get Sat TV in the back...need an RF Modulator & a set up change..decided not to do it! We parked in Bob & Cheryl's lot where we will remain for a week. We dined with them that evening and had a few happy hours with them and other friends. Doug & Fran parked in the desert near us on the 13^th & 14^th. We went to Silly Al's with them on the 13^th. They headed for Yuma on the 15^th. On Thurs. we went to Quartzsite and had happy hour with Glenn and Henrietta at their motorhome at the RV show site. Friday was a fish dinner with Bob & Cheryl at the Grubsteak. Dixie shopped for jewelry supplies and we wondered the vendors. On Sat., the 17^th the RV show started so we ventured out and checked out the vendors there. We purchased some glass dividers for the cupboards and a sewer hose rack! Also on Sat Dixie cut Cheryl and Linda's hair. Sunday was the playoffs @ Bob & Cheryl's. Dixie went into Quartzite in the late afternoon to cut Henrietta's hair and pick up another item at the RV show.

Monday the 19^th we headed to the Coachella Valley. We overnighted at the Austustine Casino for 3 nights. Doug and Fran checked into Indian Waters and we got together at their place that evening. On the 20^th we shopped at WinCo and went to the movie, American Sniper – excellent!

The 21^st was Dixie's 58^th Birthday. Doug & Fran road their bicycle's to the casino and we all had breakfast there. In the afternoon, Danny and us had happy hour at D & F's. Mark & Danielle also joined us. We then went to the Outback for dinner. A good time was had by all!
