Joshua National Park and Rib Dinner!!!
Almost three weeks ago, Tom had an accident while he was helping one of our friends with their fifth wheel and cut his hand pretty badly (about 20 stitches). Because of that, we have postponed our planned departure from Hemet. We aren't sure when we'll leave but are playing it day by day and will leave whenever Tom's hand is healed enough to get ready and drive the truck. It's coming along very well and luckily there was no bone or tendon injury.
On Easter Sunday, Tom and I fixed barbeque ribs for dinner and our friends, Ralph and Cheryl joined us. The ribs were delicious and we had some fun after dinner playing cards. Tom had planned on fixing the ribs when some of our other friends were still here, but the hand injury made us postpone. We told them we'd make it up to them next year.
On Monday we went to Joshua Tree National Park with Cheryl and Ralph. We really enjoyed the drive and also seeing the park. It was interesting to see all those Joshua trees in one area. The weather was perfect, the view was great and the friends were very pleasant.
This has been a busy winter with all of our activities and very enjoyable. Almost all of our friends have left for the summer and new adventures. We miss them and look forward to all getting together again this fall. We will even see some of them over the summer. Hope you all are doing well and we'll update you on the rest of our plans as soon as we know what they are.
Hummingbirds
Just a quick add that I thought was pretty cool and wanted you to see. We have 2 baby hummingbirds and Mom living in a nest on a fifth wheel pin stabilizer across the street from us. We've been watch this nest just after they were born (about 2 weeks ago). Check out these little guys and Mom doing the feeding session. Ain't nature cool? Enjoy.
Update on hummers...boy do they grow fast!!! Only 6 days older than in the slideshow above. Wow!
OK.....last hummer update 4/15/2012 7:00 AM
Both babies are flying around the nest with Mom. What a sight. God's creations are absolutely amazing!

Glad you are having fun with Ralph and Cheryl. Tell them hi from us. Hope Tom's hand feels better soon.
Birds are amazing! Glad to hear Toms hand is healing. Be sure to take your time hitting the road!
Love the hummingbird pics ! Joshua Tree park is a place I want to see. Is it in Bishop, CA ? Just read this morning, on the Excel forum, about Tom's hand. Holy Cow, you did a number on that. Hope it heals quickly for you. Hugs to you both.
