Mar 6th to 8th - Desert Hot Springs

Mar 6th – Sat – Desert Hot Springs
We walked around the park this morning. I will have to ride the route on my bike to see how far we are walking. Judy stopped us to tell us about a dance at another park tonight and to invite us over at 5 to help finish the food left over from last night.
I got the sewing machine out to shorten some shirts and a pair of pants but didn’t have the right color thread for a couple of items. Terry cussed the computer opponents in Hearts!
I made lunch and some devilled eggs to take this evening.
Larry & Barb and Gilbert & Grace joined us at Russ & Judy’s for happy hour but they did not come to the dance at Quail Landing RV park. A couple provided the music from 7 until 10 without a break. Our line dancing instructors (Dale & Ingrid) were there and led us in quite a few line dances. It appears as if this park has older residents but they sure know how to dance.
We found out that the part for our truck arrived yesterday but they did not have anyone to work on it until Monday morning.

Mar 7th – Sun – Desert Hot Springs
Our morning walk was cut a little bit short by some sprinkles of rain. We had a lazy morning and then after lunch Barb called to ask if we wanted to join them for a shopping trip. We were happy to get out of here and our grocery list has been growing.
First we went to Target so Larry could buy an ice maker like the one that we have. A few days ago, Gilbert got one but he lucked out and got it on sale. We stopped for groceries at Trader Joe’s and Stader’s and then headed home.
Terry saw our neighbors as he was taking out the garbage and asked them to join us and Larry & Barb for a drink. Eldon & Elaine are from the Edmonton area and we enjoyed getting to know them a bit.

Mar 8th – Mon – Desert Hot Springs
After breakfast we walked up to make a tee time and spent some time visiting with friends on the way. Then a lazy morning reading and on the computer.
It got pretty windy before our 1:30 tee time and Larry wimped out but we went golfing with Moe anyhow. Moe had an excellent game, Terry had some truly magnificent drives and I muddled along OK. It was comfortably warm in spite of the wind.
We sat out for a beer in our sheltered area and were joined by Larry & Barb.
No news on our truck even though Terry called late in the afternoon. The lack of communication gets very frustrating.
