Mar 3rd to 5th - Desert Hot Springs

Mar 3rd – Wed – Desert Hot Springs
Another trip to the laundry room today with everything else. It would have been 5 loads yesterday which is a little heavy to carry – just one more thing that you don’t think about when you do have a vehicle.
After lunch we went for a long walk around the park and ended up stopping in to see Larry & Barb. They were heading to Costco in a bit and asked if we wanted to go along which we did. It was 5 when we returned so no happy hour get-togethers. Another lazy evening with a lot of wind.

Mar 4th – Thurs – HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VAL!
It was windy all night and neither one of us slept very well. Breakfast and some chores before we went to line dancing class this morning. There was a little meeting afterwards so we didn’t get back until nearly noon. I made a quick lunch, vacuumed and got some meat in the crock pot for dinner.
Claude & Val are back in the area and were coming to play golf and have dinner with us. But it was very windy and not too warm so we cancelled the golf game. We have an area behind our rig that is protected from the wind so we were able to sit out for quite a while. Then we moved inside and had a game of Sequence before dinner. We chatted more after dinner and hugged goodbye about 9.

Mar 5th – Fri – HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLAUDE!
Believe it or not - there was a frost delay for the golf scramble today. I did not help my team as much this week – in other words I played badly. Terry’s team also struggled. But we had huge baked potatoes with lots of toppings for lunch to make us feel better.
Larry & Barb had made a tee time for 1:50 and asked if we wanted to play another round. Since we obviously needed practice, we joined them. We just had time to pick up our clubs and put our shoes back on. Darned if we didn’t play “not so well” again!
At 5 we were invited to an extended happy hour at Russ & Judy’s. The group included Larry & Barb, Gilbert & Grace, Ron & Sharon and Lynn. In addition to drinks, they provided a table full of food – huge sandwiches, cheese & sausage, fruit, assorted nibblies and dessert. Obviously this was dinner and also fuel for the dance that we all attended from 6:30 until 9:30. Matt Jenkins played again. He included some line dances which we were able to join this time and the only dances that we sat out were a couple of slow ones.
