We
left a little after our planned time of 9 as Larry & Barb
informed us when we picked them up that it was raining in Palm
Springs so we stopped back at our place to get long pants and closed
shoes. Turned out we didn't need them as it rained a bit early in
the drive and then no more precipitation. We stopped in Quartzsite
to have lunch with friends Clem & Marlene. We couldn't check
into the condo until 4 so we spent some time in a casino – everyone
donated! We still had time to pick up some groceries to make dinner
so we could relax with a drink and not worry about driving to a
restaurant.
We
made breakfast at the condo and did some shopping on Tuesday. Then
Larry & Barb enjoyed the pool at the condo while Terry & I
went to another casino. We got back in time to join them poolside
with a drink. Today was Larry & Barb's anniversary (the reason
for the trip) so we went to Babe's for dinner. It is Barb's favorite
restaurant and we had a very nice meal before moving to a fire pit
area for a drink.
Barb's
turn to make breakfast Wednesday morning and my turn to clean up. We
stopped at a couple of stores looking for a retractable clothes line
for Barb before we went to The Sands RV & Golf resort for 9 holes
of golf. The weather was lovely and the course was in good shape so
it was a nice walk. Then we went to Gilbert & Grace's in the
park for a drink where a few other friends joined us. We went to
Terry's brother Skip's and his wife Kathy's incredible new house for
dinner. It was being built when we were in Palm Springs last year so
it was fun to see it completed.

We
left at 9 for an uneventful drive back. We got a chuckle when Terri
sent a text asking if she could borrow a “crackpot”. Gotta love
auto word completion & correction! We were back in time to
unpack & relax before going to Bob & Sandi's happy hour. We
couldn't stay long as we were going to the Arizona Opry. We could
enjoy a drink however as we rode with Dennis & Gloria. The show
was “Country” and we all agreed that it was the best one that we
have seen this year.

I was
very lazy this morning and was still in bed reading when Sandi came
over to return the crock pot at 9:30. We went out for lunch and then
did some shopping. We went to MCY and danced to Wayne & Deb.
I had
put dinner in the crock pot so we could eat as soon as we got back.
We stopped at Neil & Robin's before going to a dessert party put
on by Don & Susan. We were a bit late as we were confused about
which multipurpose room was being used! Great desserts and lots of
friends for another fun event.

Another
marathon of activities today. The Sunday golf group played today due
to a tournament tomorrow. Brad set up a Scramble format that was a
lot of fun. He included a length of ribbon and a pair of scissors
for each team which we could use to “enlarge the hole” by cutting
off a piece of ribbon the length that a putt was away from the hole.
You could do this as long as you had ribbon left. Then everyone went
to our courtyard for lunch. The weather was cool & cloudy so
there weren't too many other people even when music started at 1:00.
We danced between bites of lunch.
We
weren't very hungry but thought we should have something to eat
before going to the regular Saturday night dance so we had dessert.
Southwest Surfers played 60's & 70's music which turned out to be
fine for a lot of line dances.
