This is Sunday, November 22nd. John F. Kennedy was shot this day in 1963. Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? It was lunch time at school and Peggy Seip came back to school from lunch at home to let everyone know. What a shock that was. I was in Grade 9.
We decided to move to another campground here in D.H.S.(Desert Hot Springs). We are now at the Sands RV and Golf Resort not too far down the road from Caliente Springs. The sites here are a little nicer but we couldn't get level on this lot. I hope I don't slide out of bed tonight.
There is a nice golf course here that we hope to play for the next week. Kenny, it's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the waters. They had a sale on this week - pay for seven day stay, get two extra days. That works out to $26.00 a day. Not too shabby. Thanksgiving is this week so I signed us up for the potluck dinner on Thurs. I'm asking Mike to make his famous seizure uh I mean Caesar Salad.
We did a lot of shopping today. We found a tabletop bbq at Lowe's; it was 30.00 cheaper than at Home Depot. It is a Weber and is reputed to be a very good bbq. At Costco we picked up a four foot table; plus groceries at Walmart. The rv sites here do not have picnic tables so we needed one for the outside. Now I won't have to have fried meat anymore.
At the roadside a lady was selling strawberries and oranges and Mike bought a pkg of strawberries and a large bag of oranges. Wonderful strawberries.
Weaver is getting adjusted to the place. We put out his fence and threw in his bed and he seems happy. There is a large doggie park and Mike wore Weaver out tossing the ball for him.
The shower room is a few blocks away but all the streets are paved so it makes walking easy. I sure need the exercise.
So far the weather has been wonderful. Warm sunny days and cool nights for sleeping. The sun went down by 4:30 and at 5:30 it is now dark. This campground is not overly lit at night so the stars are easy to see.
Mike and I came here in Dec. 99 for a week and I must say this whole area has grown rapidly. It has a 4 lane highway, but the highway is brand new so very few if any potholes; not likke the roads in Los Angeles.
Apparently this whole area is on the San Andreas fault. Don't panic. We're fine. We are not expecting any catastrophic earthquake while we are here. If there is the dog will warn us I'm sure.
Mike is busy preparing supper. I am surprised how many husbands in the last campground dtd the cooking and how many wives just loved it. I am no exception.
Last night we went out for supper in Cathedral City with two couples that were staying near us at C. S. Donna and Mel should be on their ship right now heading for Rio. Have fun!!
My computer is doing funny things so I'm signing off and hoping this goes through. If anyone wants to phone us, we have a Canadian phone number you can call. Leave a comment that you want our phone number and I'll email you back the Winnipeg number, lol. It's as close as I could get to a BC number. If you have a good long distance plan it won't cost much and it will only cost us 10 cents a minute instead of the international rate.
ttfn
Mave n Mike
