Happy Hour at Our Home

It's about time!!! This is our largest HH this winter at our rig. Donna is visiting the kids and GD's home in Ukiah, CA. so I decided it would be a good time to have a bunch of friends over for a little food, libation, and chat. There were folks coming and going, but I imagine there were about 27-30 folks all together. My HH was in competition with the park variety show rehearsal and the regular Friday afternoon HH/pot luck. All went well and we had lots of fun. We are so fortunate to have so many friends!

Unfortunately, as soon as it was over and I started cleaning up, I ended up coming down with a bad head cold. Darn it!! This is my second one this winter. I'm laying low and doing all the good things you should when sick.

Donna is having fun in Ukiah and I'm so glad she can make these little trips to spend quality time with the Salomones. Of course I'm excited to see them when we head north for the summer and south for winter. We are able to park our home in their driveway and that works very well. The kids always treat us like royality while staying with them!

That's about all right now as I'm nursing myself back to good health. Life is good! Very good.

Borrego Springs, CA

Sculptures in Borrego Springs, CA

Saturday we took a day trip to Borrego Springs with our good friends, Paul and Cheryl. Borrego Springs is kind of out in the middle of the desert and it's quite a small town. We went there mainly to see the metal structures made by Ricardo Breceda. These sculptures are very large and very beautiful as you can see from the pictures above. This artist has made over 125 of these sculptures and they are placed throughout the desert on both the south and north ends of town. My favorite was a wild horse standing so straight and tall. He just looked so free! I think Tom's favorite was the scorpion (he's a Scorpio) and it was very shiny!! He likes shiny things. We had a great lunch at Carlee's and then a leisurely drive back to Hemet. It was a longer trip than I had anticipated but so enjoyable. Our time in California is quickly drawing to an end and I'm not ready for it to be over! This winter has been so much fun and so busy - we are so blessed.

Happy Valentine's Day 2012

Dave and Wonda's Valentine Party and Fashion Show

Valentine's Day started out early for us - with Tom wishing me Happy Valentine's Day with a card,a balloon and a promise of a steak dinner at a local steak house. However, that dinner had to wait as this was a busy day. After an early morning water aerobics class (brrr), Tom was off to cook 200 hamburgers for a park board meeting and Donna was off to knitting group followed by lunch and yarn shopping with my friend, Mary Wells. Later in the afternoon we attended a Valentine's Day party where Donna was part of a "fashion show" (pictures above). It was so much fun and the group loved it! The ladies were very creative with their costumes and so funny too. We had a "box suit", a "fir hat and stole", and several other great outfits. We had a potluck, entertainment and lots of visiting with all our friends. We have met so many wonderful people this winter. I can't believe how fast it's all going. There is only 6 weeks left before we are back on the road again. How can we slow time down? If anyone knows, please fill us in!!!

Donna and Tom should be getting some pix with up and coming events, so stay tuned! Our good friends Paul and Cheryl have arrived and we've done some happy hours and meals for sure. It's always fun to get together with them.
