Time With Friends is Time Well Spent!

Roseville, CA RV friends, Dave and Barb Schwartz arrived with their Sun City Roseville RV Club. They have been traveling around to various RV parks in the Southern California area. One of their stops was here at the Golden Village Palms. We were fortunate that Dave and Barb extended their stay here when the rest of the club left and so we got to enjoy their company for an additional week. Dave is extremely competitive at the game of Pegs and Jokers and loves to teach new players. We think it is just so he can beat them soundly. It is a game for two to eight players and can be played as teams. Dave didn't know that Diane and Tim had been secretly practicing with Mike and Judy before they left. We spent several days playing P&J either outdoors in the warm sunshine, or in the clubhouse on a recent wet afternoon. We had the closest games ever in an afternoon session with Joyce & Jim, Barb & Dave, and us. It took three heavily contested matches before the guys could claim solid victory. Now we just HAVE to get one of the game boards.

Our Salem RV friends, Ron and Sandy Mountain with their dog Toby, arrived after a rather rough trip over the Siskiyous. They were on their way to Las Vegas for a basketball tournament and had to forge ahead in spite of the weather. They still don't know how much fun travel can be when there is no deadline to meet to be somewhere. They have a beautiful Winnebago Voyage and are still doing shakedown cruises. Every time they go out they seem to learn something new about their rig. Ron had to fly home to work (what's that?) for a few days then returned in time for the good weather.

Gresham friends, Gary and Sunny Stautz, in a shameless attempt to be included in our blog scheduled a trip to stay at the Worldmark Resort in Indio, CA for a week. While there, they rented a car to come over to Hemet to have their picture taken. Just kidding, just kidding. We were delighted to see them and have them visit our winter home. After a tour of the facilities here, we enjoyed a wonderful day at the Echo Hills Golf Course. Gary and Sunny stayed through our Happy Hour festivities before heading back to Indio.
