NOV 6, FRIDAY; INDIO
I
was up at 6:30 am; couldn’t sleep anymore!
It is sunny and promises to be a warm day! I went to the office and settled our stay,
got the rules and activity sheet for Val then I unloaded the bikes and kayaks
and the show box. Slowly settling
in. We went to Costco and bought a few
things but when I got to the cashier I found out that they DO NOT use Master
Card down here but AMEX so I had to use my Debit Card. I was not a happy camper! We won’t be going back to COSTCO while in the
USA. We then went to a VERIZON store to
add more data on the MIFI then to WALMART for more groceries. We also stopped at a restaurant recommended
to us by Sid and Vera, called SOUPLANTATION where we had excellent soup and
salad and all you can eat for $9. We
came home, put everything away then had a glass of wine outside. Another warm day which reminds me that the
A/C in the jeep quit and the red engine light came on so when I got home I
disconnected the battery, cleaned it while at it and after re-connecting
everything, the A/C worked and the red light was out!??? Go figure!!!
Dark out there by 5 pm.
NOV 7, Saturday; Indio
Sunny
and very warm. Val went for a routine
walk and then for a swim in the afternoon.
I decided to get energetic and washed and polished the front wheels of
the Beaver then the Jeep and also washed and polished the tires. ( I must be bored!! J). After that, I had enough energy to wash the
Jeep’s windows inside and out. Time for
HH then BBQ steaks for dinner.
NOV 8, Sunday; Indio
We
have new neighbours right next to us and at 6 this morning, I could hear the
woman yakking away and their dog barking.
Thank goodness they left later in the morning! Slowly getting into the routine: a snooze for an hour or two, walks around the
park, Val doing her jigsaw puzzles and going for a swim. I put more toys out: Flags on the front, our
“BAR IS OPEN” light and worked on the basement clean up. Cooked fish on the BBQ then watched our two
favorite shows on TV (Madam Secretary & Good Wife)
NOV 9, MONDAY; Geocaching.
Slept
in sort of this morning. My left eye is
bothering a lot. It is always wet and
sore when I read. I figure it is all the
driving and the sun but time will tell, in the meantime I’m pouring eye drops
in. It did improve some as the day went
on. We decided to go geocaching today
and as luck would have it, Babe and Ron showed up while we were gone! We did
have a great day though. We went to the
BOX CANYON which is on the way to PAINTED CANYON. The difference with this Canyon, we drove
through finding caches along the way and came out on I-10 at the General PATTON
Museum and rest area, about 29 miles from Indio. Another item off the list! We arrived home in the dark after stopping
for a couple items for dinner.
