Jan 21st to 23rd - DHS

Jan 21st – Fri
Neither Terry nor I did well in the golf scramble this morning – we will blame it on still being sick and not sleeping well! Lunch was late due to the large number of groups playing, so we had time to go to a drugstore for some cold medication and pick up a few groceries before lunch was served. Everyone said we should take it easy & nap. That was all we really felt like doing but it was kind of hard to do nothing all afternoon.
At 5 we went to Larry & Barb’s for dinner. They had 11 people over for hamburgers – us, Russ & Judy, Stan & Marilyn, Dave & Dora, Lynn and Gilbert & Grace. It was supposed to be a send-off for Dave & Dora but they decided to stay another week so guess we’ll have to do it again! We sat out around 2 buddy burners until 8 but everyone was getting pretty cold by then so we all headed home.

Jan 22nd – Sat
We wandered through the craft fair in the park this morning but didn’t have to buy anything. I had just finished making a batch of rice krispy squares when friends Lynden & Charlie arrived for a visit. They are from Logan Lake, B.C. and are staying in Hemet for a month. The first thing we had to do was show off the lovely dog park here and let their sweet little dog Gracie run a bit.
After they checked out our truck & 5th wheel, we had a nice catch-up chat. I put sandwich makings out for lunch outside and then we went for a tour of the area. They have been here previously but were amazed at what they had not seen. We started with a stop at Burke’s Outlet since they were not familiar with the store and they both ended up buying something. We also strolled along The River in Rancho Mirage where Lynden found a straw hat. By the time Charlie took Gracie to the dog park again, it was close to 5 and they headed back to Hemet.

Jan 23rd – Sun
We had another night of coughing and interrupted sleep so we took it easy this morning and then went to the drugstore again for some different medication. We didn’t feel like doing much but Terry gets antsy so we went to a casino where we didn’t do very well. We stopped at the golf store where we got Terry’s cart as he was missing an umbrella holder and they were very nice and gave him one. We went to another golf store to look at clubs for me and then got some lunch as Terry was finally hungry and felt like food would agree with him.
We completed the day with more rest & TV.
As I write this midday on Monday, it is an absolutely beautiful day and the hummingbirds are fighting over the feeder hanging in front of me on the window.
