FEB 24, Wednesday, Indio
Cloudy this morning but already 50*F by 8 a.m! Val went for her exercises then we went shopping for some groceries then, after putting away in our rig, we went geo-caching. I had to go to Radio Shack so we combined pleasure with business.
After finding 7 caches around Indio and not finding what I required at Radio Shack, we came home and had happy hour. After dinner, we watched the Michael Jackson movie “THIS IS IT” It was quite good actually and would have been quite a show had he lived!? It was quite warm today and the sun managed to shine most of the day.
FEB 25, Thursday, Indio
After breakfast, I attended a class on Geo-Caching at the clubhouse. In the afternoon, we went to “Target” to buy a wok as ours was no longer of any use. We came home and I took Tucker for a walk then we drove to “Thousand Trails” and picked up Sid and Vera and went to Palm Spring to the street fair. We got there early and found free parking just around the corner from the fair. We walked the 4 blocks (long ones too) and looked at everything but didn’t buy anything. We had dinner at a local bistro then came home after dropping off Sid and Vera at their site. We had a good time and it was a pleasant evening for temperature...very mild! IT is still 62*F (16*C) outside at 10 pm.
FEB 26, Friday, wash day
Today was laundry day. Later in the day, we met a few more neighbours. There are a lot of people from BC here this time around. We called Sid and Vera and made arrangements to go to Cabazon Mall tomorrow as the forecast is for rain and winds so the flea market at College of the Desert is out. We did a few more caches too later in the afternoon, all near here.
In the evening, we watched the Olympics.
FEB 27, Saturday, shopping day!
After picking up Sid and Vera around 10 a.m, we went to Cabazon where there is a big outlet mall. It is in the pass between the valley and Riverside. It rain all day with some breaks and we had a successful day. Val bought a couple of tops and I bought 2 shirts and a beautiful vest to wear instead of my “Halifax vest” which was getting quite raggy according to Val. Sid was looking for a pair of runner but didn’t find anything to his taste; Vera bought a top which according to Sid, she doesn’t need (smile).
Anyway, we drove back in the rain for a while but once we entered the valley, the sky became clear and it got a lot warmer. It was around 56*F in Cabazon and 65* in the valley...quite a difference. We dropped off Sid and Vera and came home. Tucker was happy to see us and eager to go for his walk; it was 4 pm when we got home.
After a nice dinner, we watched the Olympics.
FEB 28, Sunday, Indio
We woke up to sunshine and a sunny day. Good way to end the month! Val made a few phone calls this morning then wrote a few e-mail. Our neighbour, John, came over and asked if we wanted to go caching, as if he needed to ask! We said yes of course and planned on meeting at 1:30 pm. We watched the first period of hockey (Canada leading by 2) then left to pick up John. We geo-cached until 4 o’clock, finding about 10 caches, before calling it quit. When we got back, we found out that Canada won the Gold! FANTASTIC!!!!
After BBQ’ing steaks for dinner, we watched the closing ceremonies for the Olympics.
