Well we got up and had breakfast at the clubhouse, their craft sale was held indoors due to the rain.
Rainy day today, with very low clouds, and pretty heavy rains, though not the buckets that we had earlier this year. There are about 5 major highway intersections that will be involved in major changes this year, perhaps 2 years of work on all of them, widening them to try and get rid of traffic constrictions that occur daily with rush hour and the like.
The newspaper today reports that with all the rain the desert has been getting it should be a pretty spring out in the desert, with flowers in many places. Something very nice to look forward to during the month of March, they estimate, particularly at Joshua Tree and Anza Borrego parks.
The flight to Costa Rica may be as long as 6.5 hours, not looking forward to being crammed in small plane seats for that long flight. Will have to look for those special socks for flying, that compress your legs and avoid swollen ankles and feet.
The wee park model that we just bought was supposed to have been re roofed by the sellers today, their roofing contractors just work on weekends, but as it was raining, we guess it didn't happen. Oh well, there is still next weekend to get the job done, because the sellers plan to leave this area Feb 17th and return to their home in Vancouver, WA. Hmmmm.
Went to a nice mellow movie last night, It's Complicated, with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Steve Martin played a straight guy, not a humourous part as he normally does, and it was a very well done film, we thought. Not overacted as Hollywood often tends to do, or sugar up the ending. Not this time. We really enjoyed it.
Meryl Streep is a divorcee, and a very successful restaurateur, who gets back together with her ex hubbie, played by Baldwin, for a fling when their son graduates from college. As all kids do when their parents are divorced, her kids hope that it works out once more for their parents, and they get back together, but she decides against staying with him.
Steve Martin is very good as the architect who is designing a big addition to Meryl Streep's wonderful house, and he himself is recently divorced. I think he should take more serious roles, he did it very well. The film was shot in Santa Barbara, CA and New York. Definitely worth a watch for a touching chick flick. Great support from Meryl's long term female friends.
