Monday we had a travel club meeting at CatSpa, and so I dropped Lary off and headed to Westfield Mall for a haircut.
When I came home from that Wendy and Dave had been here for happy hour with Lary after they brought him home, and Harold and Jet had arrived from Nanaimo, they couldn't find a place to stay in DHS so they went over to Palm Springs, and we went in to have a drink with them later, and we all crossed the road from their hotel and ate at Billy Reed's, an old established place in P.S. Yum yum, prime rib for all 4 of us. Their room was really nice, at Palm Court Inn. We were impressed.
Tuesday they came out for soup at the clubhouse, then we participated in the music jam, Dud was here from Rainbow Park with his banjo, Bob G. with his guitar, and Ruth on keyboard, and me and Lary with our flutes, it was enjoyable. I played from sheet music, and we did a fun duet about the hawk and the eagle and the gecko. Yum yum, the hawk ate the gecko.
Then we showed Jet and Harold CatSpa, and then Caliente Springs, they liked Caliente a lot. They don't have their motorhome, they are just hoteling it with travel coupons, and doing quite well that way. Nice clean rooms, nice hotels, and not that much money. We had tea back here, then they left and I'll meet Jet tomorrow for a shopping/look around.
Harold is convinced that Palm Springs is a big city and he's worried about driving there, we can't seem to convince him that it isn't!!!!!! Grrrrr.
Tonight we went to a nice evening thanks to Dave S suggestion, a jazz evening with John Boliver quartet at Pete Carlson's golf store on Hwy 111. Weird venue for jazz, in a golf store, but lovely jazz, John plays a sax, and has a bass player, a drummer and keyboardist accompanying him. He was very well received, and they were selling tons of golf clothing for $5 a piece, so it was flying off the racks, and out of the store. For $10 we had a 2 hour jazz concert session, wine and cheese and lots of munchies. And the money all went to charity.
Harold's chilling tomorrow while we girls head out to mess around, and Lary is carving over at CatSpa. Then we are coming home for dinner here. We girls will buy dinner and bring it home.
