Due to crappy weather we have put off our trip to San Diego this week--rain, cloudy and 60 degrees there. RV'ers have the luxury of changing the timing around like this and we really appreciate this way of seeing America. Very few times do we go to new and exciting places in a snow or rain storm. So our schedule is now Feb. 27-Mar. 3, San Diego/Catalina Island, Mar. 3-10--Los Angeles, and March 10-17--San Francisco/Napa. Then we will head to Las Vegas via Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, and if the weather is good --Grand Canyon and Sedona. Then fly home for a couple of months the first week of April. We will return in June to tour the Northwest.
Our sweet little neighbors from Saskatchewan (Clare and Pat) are going home this weekend and they had promised to teach us to play Cribbage. So last night we combined the 2 with a little going away celebration and Cribbage lesson. Their longtime friends (Lavinia and Wayne-next door neighbors) had the 6 of us over for dinner, drinks and Cribbage (starting at 3:30). These four 85 year old's' teaching Terry and me what seems to be a pretty complicated game was hilarious. All we retained was that 15 and 31 are important numbers, if you mix up which pegs are which--no big deal, and that if just 2 people play it is different from that which we had just learned. There were times when I felt like Funniest Home Videos was filming from the corner. So bottom line-if we buy the game, make sure it comes with directions and read them. Dinner was delicious--topped off with rhubarb pie. Yum --and we rolled home by 8pm
Dinner tonight at the Cactus Café here at Westwind is a 4 course price fix steak or chicken dinner for $20 and it starts at 4:30! Great deal and we won't be eating lunch. We will walk home in time to watch the end of the Daytona 500 duals. My way of spending the holiday.
Best valentine for your spouse in the over 65 crowd--make a pledge to not correct each other's stories. We learned this in spades last night. Love goes out to all our family and friends back in Tennessee.
