Thursday Wendy and Dave left for home

On Weds I went shopping for a few odds and ends, and got a birthday present for Wendy, as it is her birthday April 9th. Bought her some nice lavender hand cream, some drink napkins, and a Loreena McKennitt (?) CD. We 4 went out for dinner to South of the Border mexican restaurant up in DHS on Palm Drive by Pierson. Good food, and it was busy there.

Sad to say bye bye for this year. It got really chilly in the evening, and was a very blustery day, but sunny. Lots of grit flying around. Lary had finished his kildeer bird at his last carving day with Vern this season.

Thursday I put some tops into a Rubbermaid tub to leave at Almar Acres, so we took them over there. Today was still with no wind until about 5 PM or so when it picked up again. Today still warm weather was like a gift after last night's wind, the trailer had been rocking and rolling once again last night, and the temps had plunged down again overnight. Thursday AM it was a bit warmer outside than inside, and we had a nice long soak in the pool and a chat with the folks who are still here though the park is really emptying out noticeably now.

Lary's task today was to go into the Department of Motor Vehicles in Palm Springs, he spent nearly 3 hours there, waiting to renew our license plate for the new park model trailer. Even though it's fixed it still has a valid plate and an annual decal, due in May.

He just had to get the decal for the plate, but the wait was very long, as it's a busy place and shut on Fridays, too. He succceeded, and we took the plate over to Almar along with our tub of clothes, and a pretty painted name plate that we decided to leave down here for the park model.

We had tidied up all the leaves, but there are already leaves on the patio area again. Didn't clean them up this time. There will be lots and lots in November when we get back then.

Lary and I are munching our way through the frozen food that Sue and Jen bought us from Schwanns frozen food truck here in the park.
