Day of Rest

Indio, California:  We again woke to another sunny day. Rinse and repeat.

Are y'all getting tired of this vista?

Maybe it looks better in black & white?

I just love Saturday. I take my rest day and do not run... which makes it my very favorite day of the week. I take it easy. I do not work. I eat fried potatoes.

This afternoon Lisa sent us out on wedding reconnaissance errands. Fun! Then My Driver took me all the way to Thermal (nearly to Mecca) to buy 12 ounces of dates.

I can buy dates in any grocery store in the Coachella Valley. I can buy dates around the corner at Shields Dates. But no, I prefer dates from Oasis Date Gardens. I am going to try a date bar recipe next week and only want the best dates. I am using organic flour, organic sugar, organic butter, organic eggs, organic walnuts, etc., in the recipe - so why muck it up with supermarket dates? Oasis Date Gardens has organic dates! I am making the date bars for Lisa... and anything Lisa eats, Little Leo gets eventually. It's a no-brainer.

After our errands, My Driver took me to a local grocery that had one of my favorite adult beverages on sooper-dooper sale. I'm telling you, if he isn't getting some-sort of award today for (again) being the Best Husband Ever.

In other electrifying news... huge excitement around the old trailer park this week as the City of Indio is installing traffic lights at the entrance/exit to the Motorcoach Country Club! It is a bit dangerous at times to make a left turn out of the resort as the speed limit on most roads in this area is a ridiculous 50 mph. Maybe in the car, it isn't so bad... but imagine if you are driving a 45-foot bus and towing a car? Danger.

WOOT! The traffic lights are up - along with new street lamps - but the stop lights are not working as yet. Hopefully soon. It is going to make my life easier and safer. Not to mention all those people I probably scare half-to-death when I make a left turn into traffic.

Turn about is fair play. Readers Jamee and David took us to dinner the other night, so it was only right we return the favor. Tonight they were our guests at the fancy-schmantzy restaurant in the resort club house - Top of the Falls. Jamee and David are truly lovely people. We have so much in common, it's scary. If they didn't wear Orange & Black all the time, I would adopt them. We were the last customers in the restaurant tonight. Another great evening with fellow RVers.

Until my next update, I remain, your resting correspondent.
