Well m’lords and ladies… ‘tis high time I offered up a morsel of an update for your discerning eyes…. not that I have a lot to report (although I do have some good news) and not that there’s much exciting to report (and that’s a good thing as our goal has been to slow things down a bit…)… but time for a report it is.. and so hereafter it follows (is that proper grammar? oh well, you know what I mean), hereafter follows an accounting of our whereabouts…
But news we do have… FIRST, we’re having a GREAT time here in The Outdoor Resort. We have rented a fifth wheel and Kathy, Marg and I have been having a grand time. Ron and Dal have been kind enough to ferry us about, showing Marg some of the sights of downtown Palm Springs including the night market and some of their favourite restaurants (even one with bottomless champagne… hiccup!!). The rest of our time has been mostly about relaxing… enjoying quiet times for reading, a little walking and golf, and time by the pool for swimming, hot tubbing, and tanning…. (repeat as necessary). The week is flying by but tomorrow (it’s actually Thursday now…) is Valentine’s Day and we plan to celebrate well with BBQ steak and lobster… a home-cooked dinner… with Ron & Dal. Marg leaves us Saturday morning and we’re going to miss her very much… but the cold winds of BC are calling her back and so we must let her go.
More good news… we have a trailer!! A 2001 17’ Casita travel trailer awaits our arrival. The little trailer is in Henderson, Nevada and will join our ‘fleet’ as soon as we can get there to complete the deal. We will take ourselves off (back) to Henderson on Sunday morning… to pick up our ‘new’ addition. We have reserved a parking pad back at The Outdoor Resort and, all going well, we’ll have the little trailer back ‘here’ for a week or so… to get used to it, check it out, and enjoy all that this place has to offer us. We’ll send photos once we have them.
So that’s about where we are right now. We’re ‘here’ for now, heading ‘there’ on the weekend.. and we’ll be back ‘here’ shortly thereafter. With luck, we’ll have a couple weeks to work on our tans and swimming & golf prowess before it will be time to head back to BC and home. We hope all is well with all of you…. and we wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day… ttfn.. CJ, K, and PS
Here’s some photos… as usual you get to mix ‘n match the sub-titles….
