Sunday January 23rd to Jan. 30th 2011

Well, the wind died down and we got out for our first golf game with just the two of us!!!!!  I think we danced too hard last night because we both had a few aches and pains that interfered with our game. Monday I enjoyed a golf game with Carolyn and Del while B golfed with Dave, Dennis and Lou. Tuesday I had yet another golf lesson, this time with Claude and later in the morning we had a golf game with Ron and Gail.
Wednesday we went to Slab City with Don & Ingrid, Steve & Nola. We had a great day but we all came away with the same feelings that we just would not spend a single night in Slab City!!!! It is the 2000 version of the movie "Deliverance".  At Salvation Mountain we met Leonard the creator (so to speak).  He is a delightful 79 year old man that is wrapped up in God.  We got to walk his "
Yellow Brick Road
" up the side of his mountain and you worried the whole way up that his mountain could collapse at any given moment.  We survived to tell the tail! We all did a late lunch at Appleby’s they back to our place for drinks.
Today B did his bike ride and I did a 10 km bike ride with Del. She really moves along for 74 years of age.  We had a tee time at 12:45 for another golf game just the two of us.....but as I looked down from the ladies T to see B there were two other men there!!....Cliff and Claude!!!!! Two really good golfers!  Well that was heart attack city for me, but it all turned out very well.  Cliff has a bad back and was trying to work it out, so was just a tad off his usually game, so I became very comfortable. Claude, well he is my instructor.  I did have one of my better games though!
Tonight we had Happy Hour with Carolyn, Warren, Pat, Bob, Ron and Gail came home for supper then went to the activities centre and had two games of pool...not great so came home quickly!  B was in bed watching TV at 8:14..!  Friday we golfed with Ron and Gail and invited the BC group over for Happy Hour with us! Saturday was a pool day with great weather and we went to our “Last Dance” at Rio Bend.  We truly do get a good work out on the dance floor.  Today, Sunday we are having terrible weather; high winds and overcast, but did manage to get the laundry done.  Monday we will return our Time Warner modem so that’s it for internet for 2 weeks.  Feb. 1st  is a travel day to Yuma.  Our location in the foothills (
13699 - 47th Drive, Yuma
) does not have internet, but we will go to McDonalds or the library periodically to check for news.  We will try to carry our phones regularly!
Hugs to all,
