Our days have become routine, we walk in the mornings, play pool, Mah Jong, ping pong, and shopping. Christmas decoration went up early all over the park. Some of them were very elaborate like the lady with the huge village set up in her carport. It took up the whole carport and more. They have a decorating contest every year and we came in third in the RV category.
Christmas Day we had friends over for dinner and had a great day. Santa was wonderful this year.
New Years Eve they had a wonderful dinner and dancing to a band called the 5 Guys. They were excellent.
We had a great time and danced until midnight. The next day we are on our way west to Ehrenberg on the Colorado River.
Our view of the Colorado River the site was perfect. We visited friends and my Aunt & Uncle in Quartzite. The town was just getting ready for a gem show the next weekend. The big tent is not up yet and you can still drive around town.
This must be the biggest palm we have ever seen it was down by the river. I must say it is very quiet here even if this park sits next to the freeway. We had Air Force fighter jets from somewhere fly down the river heading south just about everyday. I never tire of hearing the sound of those engines and watching then fly over. The last one I saw actually tipped his wings when he flew over.
Our next stop is Indio and our park Indian Waters have new owners and they have been hard at work improving the park. New swimming pool, PB courts, exercise room and pool room.
Sunset out our front window.
I volunteered this year for the Humana Challenge held at PGA West and La Quinta Country Club. I had so much fun last year I decided to do it again. I was at La Quinta for 3 days then went over to PGA West and worked there for the rest of the week. Here I am in my work duds.
and then with the jacket.
It was a great tournament at least until Saturday when the wind started blowing. The gusts were probably 50 mph and some of the small tents in the Bob Hope Village were coming down. Bob Hope Village is where the venders and restaurants set up theirs booths during the golf tournament. Some of the venders cater directly to the players and some to the public that come to watch. They finally evacuated the the course and all the buildings. Bill Clinton was playing with Greg Norman and was on the 10 fairway. The tent crews came in and repaired most of them during the night and everything was ready Sunday morning for the last day of play.
