Life in Palm Desert

Ron and I had a little break, although I did have a couple of events, and went to Palm Desert. We stayed at our daughter's home the first night. It was so fun seeing the grandkids. They sure have grown. We stayed with my brother and sister-in-law for 4 days and then went to our timeshare for 6 days. We arrived with 80+ degree weather. Oh we were loving it. Friends came for Happy Hour and we all had a great time. The weather was in the 80's through Monday or Tuesday so we were swimming, hanging out by the pool just resting and enjoying life. We played tennis and looked at many open houses. I did find a couple - I do have my favorite but Ron just shakes his head. Ron has never been out of town during the Christmas season so as we were sitting outside eating at Sammy's Woodfire Pizza, Christmas Caroles were playing and the lights were all aglow. Ron said this is just weird, how can it be so hot and be decorated for Christmas. He said that the entire week. Lots of tennis, pool shopping and ffriends. I spoke at the Palm Desert Community Presbyterian church to the Stephen Ministry group. A great group of people with lots of great questions and concerns of those grieving.
I was able to talk to others outside the church concerning Matt's Last Call: Surving Our Protectors. On Thursday it poured all day 61 degrees! - shopping and packing!! Friday morning we headed for the airport.We had a fantastic easy trip home. Two days later 6 inches of snow followed by a windstorm! Where is that home I found in Palm Desert? I might need to put my name on it???
