RV Casuals

I went past the windmills with women from the park today out to RV Casuals in Banning. This is the store that brings their clothes to our park for fashion shows. We browsed through all their racks and then were served a lovely lunch. Jeanie and I got a kick out of the little hats for the Red Hat Ladies.

The Birthday Boy

Chuck and Barb, our Friday night pool friends from home arrived here today and I planned a turkey dinner for 16 for Ron's birthday. He enjoyed all the phone calls from friends and family.We planned happy hour at 3:30 but the rain blew in from L.A. so we ended up down at the lower clubhouse. I mean, we Canadians are hardy folk but outdoors just wouldn't work today. Everybody brought some food and we are great cooks. Needless to say a good time was had by all.

Souplantation - a dining experience

We went off to a new restaurant called Souplantation. They have a huge salad bar, 6 kinds of soup, a potato bar plus desert. It was delicious at $9.97 for dinner with 10% off for seniors. It's lucky we know some.

Up through the Imperial Valley

We left Yuma and went west on I8, past the sand dunes and north at El Centro through this lovely agricultural area. The canal is very important and and this area is below sea level. The waterline is up at the halfway on the water tank. We couldn't figure the differences in gas prices. We'd just fueled up in Yuma, $2.59'9 for diesel and gas here it's $2.93'9. Go figure. As you drive up, you see the Salton Sea in the background. We're going there Friday, so more then.

Out to Lunch

We ran into Joy and Roman in the park so took them down to see Lutes Casino for lunch. We all had a chuckle at the silly memorabilia hanging all over the place. This is Joy's newest friend.

Great Sunsets

We're facing south so have the most glorious sunsets every night to our right. Just beautiful and you know how I love them. We had guests for dinner last night and had a great time.

Coffee and Donuts

It's always fun to see the different things you do in different places. This park has RV dealers bring their RV's for sale and serve coffee and donuts six days a week. You'd think these seniors had never eaten before. They have 10 dozen donuts and run out. One dealer, the RV Peddler has this funny 'pig' bus.
