Sisters arrived safe and sound Monday

Sue, Jen, Heather and Royal arrived today, later on this afternoon. We went over to their hotel, and had dinner together in the hotel restaurant, Billie D's.
It was super to see them, and Royal has grown so. He's 5 months today. Wow.

Friday we went over to visit friends from home, Egon and Trudy, and had a super visit at their rental park model on Ramon, at Desert Shadows RV Park. Lovely park model, in a lovely well maintained park. The park has 4 pools or so it seems, and we were both very taken with it. They are loving their stay, they are in a newer park model, nicely laid out and decorated. They are also right across from a pool, so Trudy loves that. She is very tanned, and they both seemed very happy.

Saturday Lary went over to the Palm Springs Air Museum to their RCAF day, it was very informative, and he met a man who had known Di's Dad. One of the presenters was an air navigator, major level.

Sunday we went to La Quinta Arts Festival, it is in a beautiful park there, with a pond in the centre of the park, a bridge, koi pond, just a perfect setting for it. Very hot day, into the 90s, so we had to be pretty careful. We didn't buy any art, it's very high end, with some artists from all over the U.S., and though it was very beautiful work, it was not for us. The glassware mostly was surrounding the pond, and that is such a spectacular setting and background for it. Shows it off so beautifully. There was also an artist, a sculptor of wildlife from Victoria, B.C.

In the evening we went over to Agua Caliente Casino and met Egon and Trudy, and we had the yummy buffet together, prime rib and shrimp, and then spent an hour or so feeding the slot machines. They seemed to have fun, and Trudy won a bit of $. Lary did too. It was a nice time together.
