Rio Bend ... Part 2

So, re-reading my last post I realized it was quite dry and while, as some of you know, we're not much prone to partying 😉 I figured I'd better fess up a little. Yes, we had a great time! Not only did we practice our beginners style Pickle Ball (oh, if only I could serve; Kathy serves so well!)... we also golfed 9 with some borrowed clubs (even managed to not lose too many balls) and enjoyed some Happy Hours with neighbours and friends. The resort is a good size; not so large it feels like a small town and small enough that folks tend to at least recognize each other and know quite a few others.

We were well received by the friends of our friends who we were there to see. Well enough received that, having been lured to the Fish Fry dinner on Friday evening, the good music that followed (that kick up your heels, thigh-slapping, toe tapping kind of music)... well, you guessed it, up kicked our heels and with petty-coats flying... into the fray we leaped. Danced our legs off we did... and it was great fun. OK I did exaggerate a wee bit there... we weren't wearing petty-coats... but we had fun anyway. The next day, Saturday, found most of us a little subdued, but not too much. We were able to squeeze in a bike ride, more Pickle Ball, a little visiting... and some rest.

Sunday was the day of our departure... and we did, depart that is. Spent half the day picking up groceries and fuel (which is always fun cuz Lucy seems to be just a little smaller than the stuff we pick up and need to store).No complaints though. We love Lucy and we always find places and Ricky offers up room for whatever won't fit. We did well and then hustled on to Anza Borrego, arriving just at dusk after being delayed by traffic build up due to a security check point on the highway.

Hope everything is well with each of you and you're finding joy in each day. Some days seem tougher than others... that's for sure, but I think they test us in many ways and make us stronger too. Thanks for following our blog. It means a lot.

Adios for now... CJ

PS: for newbies.... Lucy is our little Casita trailer and Ricky is our truck. 😀
