MAR 21, Monday, Indio
It was a windy night and still is this morning but the sun is showing its brilliant face! It is nice to have hook-ups again and Internet! Val for exercises first thing this morning and I downloaded new caches near here from geocache.com. After showering, we went to do the laundry at a laundry-mat a few blocks from here which was cheaper than here in the park. While she was doing that, I went to fill our propane tank then once those chores were done, we headed for the mall north of here to get some groceries and then made a stop at Target so I could buy new slipper and pyjama bottom. The afternoon turned quite cold and overcast; even got a few drops on our heads. We came home and put everything away then it was time for dinner. By the way, I forgot to mention that we encountered old friends we met in Pahrump last year and did some back-country four wheeling with, Jim and Janette but unfortunately they are leaving day after tomorrow. Rochelle called to say they were coming over after dinner so we had dinner, washed the dishes and just in time for Rochelle and Hayley to show up. We had a nice evening, showed some pictures, chatted and too soon, it was time to drive them back.
A very good day indeed!
MAR 22, Tuesday, Indio
We have blue sky today and warmer. I called AOR and made reservations for our resort in Desert Hot Spring for 7 nights starting Apr 2.
I spend the day fixing my scissor leg outside as it was damaged when I hit a piece of tire on the highway, then I fixed the coat hook that had come off. Fixing the leg cost me $10 which was pretty cheap. The girls are sun tanning at the pool so we are picking them up at 4:30pm. We took them to Red Robins, Hayley’s favourite, and then came to our place and we bored them with our pictures. Hihihihihihihi!
MAR 23, Wednesday; Indio
An early rise to a windy morning but it did calm down later in the day. We kept around here most of the day. This guy from “Pro-Shop” was in the park; I got an estimate and confirmed an order to have a black sun-screen installed on our dining room and back windows. We picked up Rochelle and Hayley at 4 pm and took them out for dinner but first, we found and showed them two Geo-Caches. I am not sure if Hayley was impressed or not...it’s so hard to read her!!!
We took them to the Cheese Factory (Hayley’s choice) in Rancho Mirage which is about 12 miles from here on the way to Palm Springs. We had a very nice time and celebrated Hayley’s 17th birthday (actually officially tomorrow)! She is such a beautiful young woman! The restaurant was very nice and our waitress superb! Prices were quite reasonable too. Afterwards, we walked the outside mall and Hayley bought her birthday present from us. It was nice taking her out again. Before our RV Life we used to take the girls on their birthday for dinner and shopping for their present and it was always so much fun. I missed it!
We came to our place for a nightcap then I drove them back to their Resort/hotel.
MAR 24, Thursday, Kids leaving; Happy Birthday to Hayley!
Rochelle and Hayley are flying back today so I got up early and drove to the airport. There was a major accident on I-10 and I was lucky to get caught in the early stage but Rochelle’s mom and Gord were a bit behind and were late arriving at the airport making it a rush for Rochelle and Hayley to check in their luggage and board the plane but they made it and left on time at 11 am. I came back home to find all our furniture outside; the carpets were cleaned this morning and Val had an appointment with his wife for a haircut. In the afternoon we went Geo-Caching and found the rest of the caches I had downloaded. Louise and Dave arrived today and are at site 187. When we came home, they came over for a quick visit then it was dinner time.
MAR 25, Friday, IndioA sunny and relaxing day! I called Glenda and Terry to make a golfing date next Tuesday then our club to set up reservations for Apr 10 to 15th in Ehrenberg, AZ. We went Geo-Caching in the afternoon and I filled up the truck @ $4.15. For the first time, I’ve hit $100 to fill the truck!!! Happy Hour with Louise and Dave then dinner, it was not pleasant BBQ’ing in the wind. The wind really picked up in the evening.
MAR 26, Saturday, College of the DesertThe wind blew all day, gusting to 35 MPH at times and rocking big Bear! We went to get some groceries then came home and read all day and/or watch TV. We were supposed to go out with Doreen and Gord but she was sick so it was cancelled; just as well because the College of the Desert was cancelled too due to high winds. It is now 10 pm and still blowing hard. What a day!
