Jan 17th to 20th - DHS

Jan 17th – Mon – DHS
We were early for line dancing lessons at 11 so we finished a jigsaw puzzle that turned out to have 3 pieces missing. Luckily, we worked on some dances that we did not get perfectly – or even close? - last time. We also learned the 10 step which we did here last year and have not seen since.
At 2:40, we played golf with Larry & Barb. The temperature got to the high 80’s today so it was very warm on the golf course. We went over to Larry & Barb’s for a drink and demolished a HUGE bowl of popcorn. We met Dave & Dora who are across the street from Larry & Barb. There were here a couple of years ago and are only here for a short time this year. As usual, it cooled off quickly when the sun went down so it was home for dinner & TV.

Jan 18th – Tues – DHS
I played golf at 9:04 with the ladies’ club. My “good” game did not show up today but it was warm & sunny. Terry was waiting for me at the end so he must have gotten bored playing computer games.
We went to a hair stylist who cut my hair last year and were able to have lunch while I waited an hour to get in. Then we went to WalMart for groceries and to Costco for a couple of items. After we put everything away, we sat outside to watch TV until the sun disappeared and sent the temperature to a “too cool to sit out in comfort” level.
After dinner, I went to the hall to help the “Dress a Child” group and ended up sewing again to give the machine owner a rest. Terry was not home when I got back and it looked as if he didn’t come back after walking with me to the hall. He showed up an hour later – he had been playing cribbage with a large group that meets weekly.

Jan 19th – Wed – DHS
Terry played golf with the men’s club and then we went shopping. Last summer he broke the wheel on his golf cart and patched it but had no brakes. Then a couple of days ago, we were rushing to play through a slow group and Terry’s front wheel went in a hole and he took a tumble over the cart which broke the wheel again. He also blew out the side of his shoe when he fell so we got him a 4-wheel pull cart and new shoes. The cart folds up into a nice little package.
We stopped for some lunch and picked up an item at Trader Joe’s. It was still early afternoon so we stopped at the Spa casino in downtown Palm Springs. I won a few dollars so I was able to put my original money in my pocket and play – and lose – on winnings for a while. Terry started out losing but hit some machines that were good to him and we finally left about 6:30 with $200 ahead.
We stopped at KFC for “extra crispy to go” and called it a day.

Jan 20th – Thurs – HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TERRY!
I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast, Terry moved his clubs to his new cart and we took the old cart to the garbage area where someone took it before we left the area. We went to Cliff & Pauline’s & chatted with Pauline until Cliff got back from playing tennis and we could check if they wanted to play golf with us later. We went to check on a tee time, had a quick lunch and hit the course. It was fairly windy but warm.
Cliff & Pauline came over for a drink and stayed for a couple thanks to Terry’s quick bartending. We ate leftover chicken for dinner and went to Dave & Dora’s for a bit before going to a dance here at the park. Even though we both coughed our way through last night and didn’t get much sleep, we danced most of the dances.
