Last Visit at Desert Crest



We met the gang over at Don and Lila's for our last get together until the fall. We've had lots of fun with these folks.

Lois is blogging



We got together in the lower clubhouse and I taught Lois how to blog. She picked it up very well once we figured our how to find her pictures. Here she is with Havoc. Everyone I teach has to use my format because that's the only I know. When they get adventurous, they can fool around and change it.

Last Hamburger



Well, our winter in the sun is winding down. We all went up for the last sirloin burger tonight. Mel our cook wears this fantastic 'hamburger' hat with about 12 layers of tomato, lettuce, onion, pickle, mustard, mayo etc, etc., on a sesame seed bun.
Ron and I played Jokers in the lounge with 4 others. That was fun.

A Nursing Buddy



Busy day with College of the Desert Swap Meet, pool tournament, and then
we went with Joan and Barry to visit Frank and Denise, a woman that went through nurses training with me in St. Paul's, Vancouver in the 60's. We had a great visit and had to take a picture of their 1929 Model A Shay kit car that Frank built. Talk about an unusual 'tow car'.

Colorful Cacti






This is the season of spring blooms. The
catus plants look dull green or dead brown during the winter and now it's a pretty surprise with beautiful flowers everywhere and a joy to see.

The Elephant Bar



We met Joan and Barry down at the Elephant Bar and enjoyed their superb food. My lamb shank was $7.95 for a full meal, then a 20% seniors discount. Doesn't get much better than that.

Lois' Windy Birthday




It's been 85 - 90 this week
( 30C) and we've been lounging in the pool or hunting out some shade. Now the wind has been blowing for 2 days and the temp came down 25 degrees. It was Lois birthday today, Havoc sang to her and we are all huddled in blankets to stay warm.
