This Past Week... Wind Storm, Karaoke, Desert Bonfire ... just a typical week at the Springs!!

We had a windstorm on Superbowl Sunday that set records down here, nothing like it in a hundred years!! Some of the power poles were cracked in half near the RV park and we all lost power and the Superbowl party had to be moved from our Activity Room to a neighbouring subdivision that had power, Merrilee and Bruce's house. I watched the storm through the windshield and it went from blowing to being a wall of sand at times.

And Larry won the football pool that day... 85.00 bucks!!!

Storm coming is the first photo and the next one is of the wall of sand:




Last night Joan and Bob hosted a desert bonfire in the Anza Borrego State Park, I smelled like smoke after but no matter, it was a beautiful spot, before it got dark all I could see was the desert and those beautiful mountains! And when it got dark the stars were like pot lights up there, amazing always here!
We met some locals there as Bob and Joan have been coming to the desert for many years and have a hiking group that they hike with here.






These next two photos are at Assagio's Italian, can you believe food like Quantro's but prices like Denny's, what a fantastic place, my fave is Chicken Assagio. Can I say it is better than Larry's Italian chicken and not get in trouble with him!! The second photo is Pete who is showing Garvie how to get a cork out of a wine bottle with a napkin!! Larry will master this for our dinner parties back home!

Oh and I just have to show two little cuties having a happy hour here with us!!

So the deal here is Dan puts on a wine and cheese for his RV guests every Thursday night and on most of these nights we have Garvie on guitar with some vocal accompaniment of ladies that can sing (what do you mean, I was not one of them!).

But this past Thursday, it was Karaoke. I missed a few shots at the beginning when the room was standing room only, I did not know the card was full but these are what I got after getting a new card!

It has been hitting about 80 these past couple of days, hotter than usual, I personally love the low 70's but of course we are not complaining!!

And....our cell phone is not working right now, Telus is sending a new one.

Larry took the cell phone into the hot tub in his pocket, so about 30 minutes of boiling water pretty much cooked it!
