Valentine's Day Dinner here

Wendy and Dave joined us for dinner on Valentine's Day, and it was very pleasant to be together.

Tuesday Di started to feel like a head cold was coming on, so that was yucky.

Weds. Di dropped off Lary at carving, his wee owl is really coming along nicely, and then Wendy and Di went for a stroll around CatSpa park, looking at the few things offered for sale at people's sites. Bought a couple of used books, and then started to feel pretty coldy, so I came home, and went to bed. Lary stopped carving near noon, and came home to change his clothes and head off to the CSA meeting over in Indio at Fantasy Springs casino.

Lary went to the Canadian Snowbirds Association annual meeting down here, and he came home with a ballcap and t shirt for himself, and a visor for me. And of course full of information about the latest in crossing the border of the US/Canada. As usual the customs officers actually Homeland Security now, have all the power and we have none, and no recourse if they decide we can't enter the States for some reason.

Thursday Lary headed up to the clubhouse for coffee and the weekly business meeting, and then we got a package of mail from our tenants at home, so we shouldn't have so much when we arrive home.

Our Hawaiian cruise tickets have arrived, hooray, and we're also heading off to Laughlin with the Catalina Spa travel club this Monday, for 2 nights. Should be interesting, we don't really gamble that much, but there is a discount outlet mall across the street from the hotels, and on Tuesday there is also a busride to Oatman to see the wild donkeys there, which we have never seen before. Laughlin hotels seem to be very reasonable in price, like $25 dollars nightly or something. Very good prices.
