This Tuesday we had 6 people over for an outdoor Happy Hour. We started at 3:30 so that we could sit outside, and even starting then I had to go in the house and get coats for most guests before they left around 5:30 PM.
It was Judy and Nick, Fop and Bill, and Trudy and Egon, all friends of ours from our Happy Islanders camping club.
Sunday evening we had watched the Oscars, what fun, I love the clothes that the stars wear.
Lary carved on Wednesday, his project is at the painting stage, and his shaky hands were apparently a bit of a problem for him that day. He came home a bit frustrated.
Thursday we had a super flute lesson over at Annie's with Chip back from Australia, and Chip brought us a big bag of oranges, and another big one of lemons. So I will have to get right on that and make some lemon loaf for him as a thank you.
It has turned quite warm in the daytime now, today lots of dust was kicked up by the wind, there is a lot of construction all along our part of Hwy I-10, and that likely makes the dust even worse as the ground has been disturbed.
Tuesday evening we attended a Chinese auction over at Catalina Spa, it was kind of crazy and lots of the stuff we won we ended up donating to the charity shop, oh well, it's to a good cause.
Tomorrow is Flute Circle, which means we get together once again at Annie's for a monthly flute playing event, this time it might be a bit different to start out, as Annie is having a swap and shop, we bring flutes we no longer want, and swap or sell them if others want them. Both Lary and I have a flute we want to part with, and today I gave Lary one of mine to have forever, he seems to enjoy it, it's key of G, and is very pretty, though I enjoy the other 2 key of G flutes I have a bit more.
I am selling a C flute, and he's parting with a D flute. Should be fun to see what people decide to part with.
Jet emailed us to say they are in Barstow, they are there for 2 nights, and we may dash up and see them if they wait til Saturday, we're busy tomorrow.
Did laundry tonight, it was 22 or 26 degrees depending on what part of the city you were in this afternoon. Over at Annie's in Palm Desert she is quite sheltered from the wind, whereas over here in Desert Hot Springs we are in the wind tunnel path, just downwind from hundreds of wind generating windmills, so we get lots more wind than Annie.
