Tuesday Dec. 7 to Sunday, December 12th

Good golf game Tuesday, warm weather….I quite at hole # 6 but everyone else finished the 18….sorry it was just not my day.  Managed to get groceries in the morning and we all had a steak supper at our place….that put Larry in the hospital for two nights!!  No joke, but it wasn’t my cooking, it was his blood pressure, it had dropped so dangerously low that he fainted/passed out twice. 

Next day we went to visit him in the hospital; he looked a lot better and was just waiting for one more test.  We had Carol over for hamburger supper and she survived my cooking, but we were all pretty tired from the worry.

During the week I went shopping and got some great bargains at Kohl’s and Sears. We managed to get the laundry done and get a couple of trips to the pool.

Thursday, we started packing up things, getting everything stored for our trip to Rio Bend Golf & RV Park.  Larry got home Thursday afternoon and all the test results are good.  But no explanation or reason could be found for his problem, but we were all really glad to see him home.

Friday was a wonderful day (26c) for doing 151 miles into Rio Bend Golf and RV in (Seeley) El Centro.  We arrived at 2:00 and were set up in no time, then Carol & I went to Time Warner to get our internet service; we visited with a few other couples that have already arrived and by 7:00 we were up and running with internet plus enjoyed a great happy hour!

We are booked here till Jan. 31^st, 2011!

Friday night we had two earthquakes, one at 4:52am and it was 4.9 – which woke us up!  The second was very minor only 3.9.  We enjoyed the Pub Night and dance Saturday, as well as the pool time during the day. Sunday guy’s golf game with a tee off at 9am, as the temperature is going to 83 today.

Mileage stats to date….Motorhome mileage 4,671 Car Mileage 4,827 – Trip total mileage to date 9,498 that’s from Ottawa September 1^st to December 10^th, 2010 into Seeley.

Just checked the traffic cameras for Ottawa, looks pretty snowy and cold!

Tuesday November 30 to Dec. 6 2010

Week had some good, some great and some damp weather.  Got some pool time, some shopping and we learned how to use the Wii Game!

Had a good Chinese food supper at the restaurant across the street.

Got the new shocks installed on the motorhome–able to do them himself.

We had a good day trip when the 4 of us went to Julian, across to Borrego Springs, over to Temecula and home again, about 200 miles.  We saw lots of sights, got a pie from the famous Julian Pie Company - peach and apple crumble pie, very delicious! Today we drove north to Beaumont then along Hwy #10 to #243 into Idyllwild, 6,500’ elevation with a temperature of 49 degrees. Crossed back down to Highway 74 and into Hemet by 5:00 where the temperature was still 63 degrees.  What wonderful views of the low desert and the valleys.  See the pictures.
We will be leaving Hemet on Friday Dec. 10 and will head to El Centro.
