Diamond Lake Adventure with a Pontoon Boat

A Day at the Lake

Well we found out from some folks in the park, that on Wednesdays the boat rental at the lake is half price. That makes a senior's eyes pop open!!! Diamond Lake is very close to Hemet, so we didn't have far to go. Poor Donna was sick so she had to stay home, dawg-gone it. Seven of us Excel folks took some drinks, lunch vittles, sunblocker and headed out for a day of fun. And fun it was, as the weather was picture perfect. Paul Wells was our seasoned captain and did a great job. We found a nice and peaceful cove to have lunch. We were quite impressed with the fact that the lake has three "floating heads". I have to admit that was a subject that had entered my mind prior to the outing!!! Guess CA folks don't like anyone peeing into their lakes like we used to do in TX!!! Ha. Everyone had such a great time....we only wished Ms. Donna could have been able to share in our perfect outing.

Recent Happenings at Mountain Shadows RV Resort!

What a busy time we've had lately! We had a ladies luncheon in February and Tom, along with some other men from the park were our photographers and ushers. It's the first time he's been dressed up like that since we went full time. I thought he looked handsome. He had his picture taken with me and then with our friend, Lee. We felt pretty special! All we had to do was sit and enjoy ourselves while the men both served us and then entertained us with a barber shop quartet.

Our good friends, Wayne and Marianne, decided Tom needed yet another crazy hat, so they brought he and our landlord, Ron, one each. It's been the cause of lots of laughs for sure. He wouldn't wear it on St. Patrick's Day though. I guess he didn't want to get too much attention! (If you believe that, I have a lot in the Sahara I want to sell you.) We had fun on St. Pat's day with our Excel friends, Paul and Cheryl, Ralph and Cheryl, Paul and Mary. We went out to dinner for cornbeef and cabbage, then back to Paul and Mary's, for dessert - yum. Beautiful apple pie, huh? As you can see, we all fit quite well in the Excel - even Bella, the dog. She was a great hit with everyone.

That's the highlights since we last wrote. I've also been on several yarn crawls, looking for beautiful yarns to make more things. Mary and I have so much fun we are dreading the end of it the first of April, but all things must come to an end. It's been such a fun winter and has gone so fast that I can't believe it's almost April already! Hope you are all having a wonderful time.
