Mar 13th to 16th - DHS

Mar 13th – Sun
After I caught up on the blog, we finally sat down and filed our income tax return. We were driving out when Cliff ran over from the golf course and asked us to dinner. We had bought tickets for the Tappers’ Show but decided that would be a donation to the group and we would go to dinner.
We went to WalMart and got the oil changed in the truck and bought groceries. By the time we got the groceries put away it was almost time to go to Cliff & Pauline’s. We had a very good dinner, played a couple games of Golf and a couple games of Sequence.

Mar 14th – Mon
I decided that I better get serious about buying new PJs before my old ratty ones totally fall apart so we went shopping. I did find what I needed. We did not have lunch so I ran into a grocery store for steaks while Terry filled the truck with expensive ($4.15) diesel.
We had a great, early dinner and then had Larry & Barb over for brownie sundaes since they had also eaten early.

Mar 15th – Tues
I had an OK round of golf this morning. At noon we went to Cliff & Pauline’s for their farewell hamburger party. They had a large group and everyone was searching for shade when they finished eating. They got out their Ladder Golf game and a few people played. Unfortunately, the party came to an early end when Cliff got a phone call saying his brother Glen, who has been in the hospital for a while, was not doing well so Cliff & Pauline, Gilbert & Grace and Bob & Doreen decided to leave tomorrow rather than in a week as originally planned. I know all the names & connections are hard for readers to remember, but Cliff & Grace are brother & sister and Doreen is their cousin.
We helped Cliff & Pauline clean up & start packing up stuff and then Terry went to help Bob. About 4 we, Cliff & Pauline and Bob & Doreen went to Terry & Eileen’s for a farewell drink.

Mar 16th – Wed
Terry had an early tee time this morning. I got up just in time to say goodbye to Cliff & Pauline, Bob & Doreen and Grace. Then I got busy and had the laundry almost ready to go in the dryers when Terry finished golfing. I made breakfast when we finished the laundry and a bit later we went to play golf. Unfortunately, the wind had come up suddenly so Larry & Barb said they wouldn’t golf and then we and Moe & Trish also opted out.
With several hours before dinner, Terry figured we needed to go to a casino so we went to Morongo and came back with $40 more than we took.
This evening was the Awards Banquet for the men’s & women’s golf clubs. Happy hour at 5 was followed by a steak dinner at 6 and then all the awards. It was still early when we were done so a group went to Moe & Trish’s for a nightcap(s). We finally left about 11.
