Feb 27th to Mar 2nd - Desert Hot Springs

Feb 27th – Sat – Desert Hot Springs
We went to a craft sale at the park where I bought a couple of items. Then we went to the weekly sale at College of the Desert. It is a large sale of new items – arts & crafts, clothing, golf gear, food, jewelry and purses to name a few. We got some lunch while we listened to music. Before we got there and just as we left, it rained.
We stopped at the Aqua Caliente casino on the way back. I started by winning a bit and thought I would have a good day but it was not to be.

Feb 28th – Sun – Desert Hot Springs
We picked up a few groceries this morning and I made deviled eggs and seasoned pretzels for later.
We were invited to Lynn’s to watch the Canada vs USA Olympic hockey game. A lot of readers will know that Canada won a great game in overtime.
We went for a walk to the office and met Larry & Barb who were returning from their cruise. We asked them over for a drink & dinner. They said they had a large lunch and declined dinner but said they would be over in a bit for a drink. I continued with dinner prep and ended up persuading them to join us for a light dinner.

Mar 1st – Mon – Desert Hot Springs
Terry had to get up early in order to have the truck in for repairs by 7:30. When he returned, we had breakfast and then went for a walk.
We had a 1:20 tee time with Moe but we go out early as no one was on the first tee when we arrived. I had a good game and ended up beating both guys. We could blame a lot of Terry’s game on his preoccupation with the truck. We received a phone call from the service guy before our game and he said we needed a whole new transfer case rather than parts in the transfer case as he had thought. They tried to find a used part but it would cost nearly as much as a rebuilt one and would have no warranty. Unfortunately, their supplier did not have a rebuilt unit so we have to wait for one to be completed – at least a week.
Moe came by for a beer after golf. We were able to make dinner in time for Terry to barbeque steak in the daylight.

Mar 2nd – Tues – Desert Hot Springs
We wert for a walk around the park before a late breakfast. Then it was time for sheets & towels to the laundry room which was fairly busy but I didn’t have to wait for machines.
We went to Cliff & Pauline’s to take pictures of them and their motor home so we could make some personal cards for them. We visited for a while, came home to work on the card and they came over to approve the final design. We chatted and watched some of our favorite jokes on the computer.
We did not have lunch so I made an early dinner and we had a quiet evening with TV and Hearts on the computer.
