Just enjoying each day...

Time for another blog post!

We're really enjoying our time here in Desert Hot Springs.  Warm Sunshine, Friendly Neighbors, Plenty of Resort Amenities and Local Activities to keep us busy... not to mention our cozy home.  How blessed can we be?

This evening, we enjoyed our first Happy Hour with neighbors, Marilyn and Dennis
Marilyn is sharing a funny story (full of animation)


That's an "I'm getting chilly" pose from me... not "I have to pee"
This is Maddy... Isn't she just the sweetest?  And super obedient!

Earlier today,  I finished up the Christmas cards...

Then we mailed them!

You may think "So What", but that's pretty good for me! 
I made the cards, I addressed the cards, we mailed the cards... and it's only the 10th!
With all that done...
Why stop there? 
 I was somehow, motivated enough to wash the wheelhouse windows inside and out.

 It needs ALOT more than window cleaning, but at least we can see clearly out the windows now!

After all that today,
we decided to take advantage of the Hot Tub and Swimming Pool...

We enjoyed the hot tub, then swam laps in the pool, then hot tub again.
Nice... hopefully we will do that every night.

Yesterday we enjoyed our day just the same...
we explored the town of Desert Hot Springs, a bit...
and rode our bicycles up and down through all the loops here.


and Jeff didnt fall down!

IT'S TIME FOR BED!  So thats all for now!

  7. Soaking up Vitamin D in the sunshine, doing your cards out in the sun, bike riding in the sun, even washing your windows in the sun. Sounds like a good day in the sun!
