Hog's Breath Inn in Old Town La Quinta

I was going to say that I'd thoroughly enjoyed lunch today at one of Clint Eastwood's restaurants with very old friends. What I mean to say is that dear friends Carol and Wendy and I had a great time together.

 We met in Crescent Beach and here we are at 14 years old. I will have to learn how to post the old picture.
Thanks gals, loved it.

Palm Springs Art Museum

Sharon and I went to see this museum today. What a delight. It is 3 floors.

This is glass in their store but there was an amazing collection.

There are about 10 different permanent collections at all times. One was Remembering the past - 30 years of collecting. The chair on the bottom right is made of rolled rubber pinwheels of different sizes.

There were sculptures on 2 patios outside the garden cafe.
Here we are.

Daily Fun

Part of the bobbing around in the pool is finding where everyone is eating out.
We went down to the Windmill Market on Indian Ave, a tiny store and deli and enjoyed a lovely Wed. special of beef stroganoff. You eat out in the back garden which is secluded with vines, one a deep blue/purple morning glory which screens out the busy road.

Back to the VFW

We joined friends for tacos. Always fun to be together. It's such a change these days - we used to have 20 out for this.
Some of the cacti are blooming - just gorgeous.

Joni and the Thrift Stores

Before we hit the stores we stopped at the 99 cent store. This one has food as well and I bought about 20 items for $18.59. Unbelievable. Joni was pushing the art to the car and the wheels locked, got too far from the store I guess. Here's Joni dragging the stubborn cart backwards to the trunk while we laughed ourselves silly.

We found this pretty lady in an Antique store. The place was nearly a museum, everything imaginable.

Olympic Closing Ceremonies

I thought the Russians did a fantastic job. The venue and ceremonies showcasing the history, culture and people were outstanding.

                    Today, even the 5th ring opened.
                

The Bolshoi Dance company was a highlight.
          Their first circus school opened in 1880.

 Amazing performance by Canada with a population of 34 million, California has 38. Sad that it is over.

Winter Olympics

               My highlights were women's curling.

                    

                       And the women's hockey.
And then there was the men's curling and hockey golds too.
