Making Memories

Hello again everyone. The last time I posted something we were on our first day in Desert Hot Springs. During our seven day stay we visited the Joshua Tree National Park, golf twice at the golf course at the resort and toured Palm Springs and the surrounding areas. We had a great time but in a blink of an eye it was time to get things ready for the road. From there we were hoping to camp out in Malibu Beach on the ocean but when we got there it was raining cats and dogs and the wind was so strong that it prevented us from staying. Our drive ended in Pismo Beach which was a trailer park on the ocean. So far the most beautifull place to camp. In the morning I took the dogs for a walk in the bay and then in the afternoon Punch, the dogs and I went on the beach at the ocean. It was so much fun. I felt like a five year old kid that wasn't allowed to get her feet or pants wet, well I did both. I ran with the dogs in the water till we all got tired and returned to find Punch sitting on the beach watching us. That night we went for a walk on the long pier and just watched the waves come in and out. We also managed to play golf again at the Pismo State Park Golf course.

Today since it was raining we decided to tour Hearst Castle in San Simeon. It turned out to be a really good trip the top of the mountain had the most spectacular view and the castle was humongous. It turned out to be a really nice day considering the weather. But I guess when your doing things with a close friend everything seems nicer. We will be leaving tomorrow for greener pasture wherever that is. Wish everyone could experience what we do because we sure are having fun.

On The Road Again March 2011

San Diego, California
First day on the road we made it to San Diego. We will spend a few days touring this nice city again this year since we enjoyed it so much last year. Weather is 82 degrees today. Tomorrow we are off to the Pacific Ocean.
Well we did make it out to the ocean and as you can see from the news about the Tsunami we went just in time. Punch found a beautifull sand dollar that we are hoping will bring us luck during our travels. We went out for supper at Fillippi's in Little Italy and the food was great.
We are now in Palm Springs and we will be staying here for about a week. We are going to try to take in a round or two of golf since the resort we are in has a golf course right in it. It's called the "Sands RV & Golf Resort. This park also comes with a all grassed in Doggy Park. It's so nice to see grass again since in Mesa you would have to buy grass to own any. The girls are loving it. There making new friends already. Weather is 87 degrees today.

Spring in Arizona

Yes it is spring in some places. For Arizonians it usually starts in February. The trees and cactus are in bloom and the weather starts to be in the mid seventies. So far this year the temperature was a bit cool in January but it did warm up fast. We got about two days of rain which is a lot for Arizona. They do appreciate the rain though.
Punch and I had a great time in February. We went to Las Vegas to meet Renee and Pat. They were down in Vegas to celebrated Pat's 40th birthday. It was really great to see them and we had a good time visiting with them. Visists always seem to short when your enjoying each others company. Norm was down in Vegas too but we missed him since he had to leave on Saturday. He sure had a marvelous time if you go by the pictures he posted on Facebook. Hope to see him there next year. Compared to last year we stayed more at home and did less visiting. We did manage to go to Castle Rock for a ride and we did take in the Renaissance Festival again. It is really good fun and the turkey legs are yummy.
We finished playing Boccie on February 22nd and we came in first this year. We are having our supper on March 6th.
The puppies are fine and we have been going to a potluck supper every Wednesday near the doggy park now that doggy training is over and yes we did pass. Food is always a plenty and the company is great also. We have made really good friends and they sure will be missed after we leave but most of them are coming back next year. Punch and I are hoping to be back also if all goes well.Since we are staying a few weeks longer this year we got to see the Mesa Spirit Parade. It was really nice and people were having a good time. We will be leaving on March 9th but taking about three weeks to get to B. C. I'm sure that we will enjoy every minute of our trip back. I do have to add that for a day we opened our own Dog Grooming Shop. The brainstorm idea seem to be a great one at the time but by the end of the day the Shop was out of business and poor Muffin was to embarrass too go to the park. They do say that her hair will grow back but I do sure feel sorry for her till it does.
