Well our temps are now down really low, we are riding the weather system that is all along the west coast of North America, and it's chilly here. Outside temp in the shade looks to be just above 50, and there is an icy wind too now, at 3:15 PM. However our wonderful blue skies are here to keep us happy.
Sal and Russ came over for dinner here with us at the trailer Tuesday, and it was such fun. Lary did barbequed pork ribs, salad and broccoli. Our first guests, and it felt grand. When we need to stay indoors like now I think 4 is a good number for sit down dinner.
Wednesday Lary carved, it's a Northern Pygmy owl that they are doing, and he was gone all day til 4 PM. I bought a couple sets of new Corelle dishes for the trailer, and a new set of towels. We have limited storage space, the two television sets that came with the trailer are now out in the shed as there is a park wide garage sale in February, and apparently a lot of stuff is sold then, to the neighbouring park people, and the proceeds go to our own park.
Thursday is American Thanksgiving, we watched the Macy's Parade from New York this morning, it lasted a long time indeed. Our park has Thanksgiving dinner here, but because we have visitors we decided to go out to Agua Caliente Casino to the Grand Palms Buffet this evening. We'll meet Sal and Russ there.
Friday I think that Sal wants to get in on the retail therapy scene, we 6 have arranged to have lunch at Manhattan in the Desert at 1 PM with Paul and Nancy. It is amazing, some of the stores open at 3 AM or 4 AM for door crasher specials, I don't enjoy shopping like that, it's too intense for me, though I would love to do some shopping too.
A couple of things that we want to do are visit the Living Desert a desert zoo which is lit up during the Christmas season, and visit El Paseo the swanky shopping area here which is all illuminated during Christmas, and officially opened last night with a big light up.
Many many fun things to see and do, but wrap up nice and warm after the sun sets for sure.
