Dinner and the fountain

When we arrived here in December, our plan was to leave around the beginning of March, well that did not work out, it is still bad weather up North, in fact there is snow along the Interstate 5 toward Northern California, so now we are hoping to leave in April sometime.  Like we always say," our plans are subject to change" that is our new motto now, because we are always changing our plans.  Sometimes because of repairs, or things we decide to do at the last minute, but this time it is the weather.

Joe has been playing golf at least once a week now, since we are here and he is having a great time, and his game is improving too. We are planing to go down to Oceanside to visit our friends Chuck and Cruz, and for a fundraser dinner for the Disabled Veterans. Some of our friends are getting together for dinner at Tim and Marcia's in a couple of days. That should be lots of fun, we always have a good time when we meet up with these friends.

We had a great time at dinner, had steaks, baked beans, and salads, and lots of desserts.  The guys played Wii golf and the gals all sat in the dining room and talked and laughed.  The guys are all going to meet up on the following Saturday and work on Tim's fountain in the front yard.  
Hey, it look great, the guys did a good job so now they can sit down and have an ice cold beer (or 2) !!!

Friends from Canada

Our friends from Canada, Nancy and Gordon, sent us an email saying they would be in the Southern California area for a week or so.  We are so excited to see them, had a great time with them, Joe and Gord played golf several times.  They were staying at the Elks Lodge campground in Ontario CA so we went up there just about every day and spent time with them.  We always have a good time with them and we sure did enjoy their visit.

They were heading North, and they did not seem to be worried about the snow and cold weather up North.  They have family in Washington state and in Vancouver and were planning on being up there by the end of March.  We are not so brave, we are checking the weather reports every day, and trying to decide when we can leave and head up North.

We will see them again in September at the Mandalay Rally and in October at the Thor Diesel Club Rally, both in Indiana.
