Mar 27th to 29th - Desert Hot Springs

Mar 27th – Sat – DHS
We played golf about noon and were joined by another couple (Doug & Carol) for the first hole. We were waiting on the second hole for a slow group ahead of us and Doug & Carol decided to cut over to the 4th hole to avoid waiting. When we finished the second hole, the slow group let us play through. When we walked up to nine, Doug & Carol were waiting to play as they had gone back after 8 to play 2 and 3. That is one of the advantages of a compact golf course.
We invited Chris & Denise over for HH at 4. Terry made a quick run to the grocery store for a few items including a baguette so we could make our new favorite snack – bruschetta – on the BBQ. Denise brought some snacks and before we knew it, it was 9 o’clock.

Mar 28th – Sun – DHS
We put on our swim suits to do the laundry this morning. No, we weren’t totally out of clean clothes – the laundry room is right next to the swimming pool so it was a nice way to pass the time waiting for washers & dryers. Even at 10 am it was plenty warm.
Chris & Denise invited us over for an early dinner so we went there about 2. After a few beers & chips, they made BBQ hamburgers which are always hard to beat.
We went for a walk later and stopped to chat with Terry & Eileen who were visiting with Leona & Gordon. They are all leaving tomorrow.

Mar 29th – Mon – DHS
We played golf fairly early this morning. No one to join us today.
After golf, I went back to the course with my camera to get a picture of the fountain in the pond as it is not always on. Then we made a stop at the office to check on our electric bill and get some information for next year.
Spotlight 29 Casino had another free play promotion today so we had to take advantage of it. We came back with the same amount of money that we took but we were there for over 5 hours so figured that was cheap entertainment.
After dinner, we got ambitious and washed the 5th wheel. I suggested that in the future we try to wash half of it at a time!!
