Golf Cart Parade


We have finally got rid of the smoke from the fires today. We've been surrounded by it for 3 days but it rained on the coast last night and we can see our mountains for the first time since Thursday. The 29 separate fires are down to about 9 still burning at present.
We had Don and Lila, and Van and Edie over for happy hour yesterday. It was fun to sit outside visiting and catching up.
We went down to Palm Desert today and watched the 43rd annual parade. It's hard to imagine that there are only golf carts under these. This started as a Celebration when golf carts were made street legal is the early 60's and now is a tourist attraction.
Then because we were half way there, we carried on to Shields Date Farm and had a date shake for lunch. As usual - delicious!
