14*C @ 8am; 22*C pm, extreme winds
Slept
in again! The sun is shining right now
but there are heavy clouds moving in.
The strong winds are continuing, gusting to 35-40 MPH. What a welcome for my brother! Speaking of which, he arrived at 11 am. He was going to explore L.A. but it was
raining so he decided to come up where the sun was shining. He didn’t realize how windy it was!!! Val went for a haircut and pedicure and
Gaetan and I went to his hotel to book him in and we had a bite to eat at a
local restaurant. It is great having him
here and catching up to all the news back home in Quebec. For dinner, Val had cooked a roast in the slow
cooker so we had that with all the trimming then we went for a short walk. It was cold outside and very windy so it was
a short walk. Gaetan left early as he
was tired and we watched a movie then to bed ourselves!
11*@ 7 am; 22*C in pm
It’s
cold this morning, enough for me to turn on the furnace to take the chill out
of the air! Gaetan came over early so we
had a coffee then drove to the Oasis just down the road and looked around. Due to his operation, Gaetan gets tired fast
so we didn’t do much walking; he was quite impressed with the place. From there we drove to the RV store where I
finally found refills for my log book then we drove west on Hwy 111 through all
the city to Palm Spring. Here we went up
to the Indian Canyon and had to pay $7 each (they have a gate here now). Again we didn’t do much walking. We met Dave and Louise at Tilted Kilt Pub for
a beer then came home to let Tucker out for a walk.
We
drove back to Palm Spring for the Outdoor Street Fair, lots of people around
and eventually had dinner at our favorite pub, “Village Pub”. We got back home by 10 pm and Gaetan went to
his hotel right away to bed! We weren’t
far behind either.11*C in am; 24* C in pm. Finally NO WIND!
Gaetan
came over at 9 am and I cooked breakfast for everyone: Fried onions and
mushrooms, bacon and eggs with toast. I
think he liked it because he ate everything he was served. Of course, Tucker had to share. Afterwards we drove to the town of “29 Palms”
and the “Joshua National Park”. Gaetan
really liked the drive and the scenery.
We did too even though we had been there before. We entered the Park on the West side, visited
almost every stops, went to the look-out @ 6000 feet which overlooks the Palm
Spring valley and the Salton sea then drove to 29 Palms for lunch. After, we drove to the South-East exit and
took I-10 back to Dillon Road and home.
We had Dave and Louise over for HH then it was time for dinner; BBQ
chicken, Greek salad and French bread.
Gaetan left at 8:30 pm and we watched the tube for a while before
hitting the bed ourselves.
14*C in am; 26*C in pm
Gaetan
came over at 9 am and the two of us went out to do our own thing. Val went shopping with Louise. Gaetan and I went for breakfast then we went
to the storage and checked out a bunch of keys as I couldn’t find the one that
unlocks the lock but fortunately, we found it.
We went to his hotel and sat around the pool and watched all the bikinis
and relaxed as much as we could. At 4
pm, we came back to our place and had HH with Dave and Louise. For dinner, I BBQ’ed steaks and lobster tails
and Val made a vegetable dish and cooked mushroom and onions. After we looked at pictures but Gaetan soon
got bored with that. He went home by 9
pm and we went to bed soon after.
