Wow, where did the time go?

We had the most lovely day at Aunt Penny's house in Dana Point, she is Dad's cousin, their mums were sisters.  Most of her family was there, minus one of her daughters who is fighting a recent recurrence of breast cancer.  So sad.  Lots of generations pitching in to cook the turkey, and hold another wonderful festive get together.  Special thanks to Penny for hosting, and to Jennifer, Mary and David for their huge and wonderful kitchen duties!

We spent the night in nearby San Juan Capistrano with an idea of sightseeing on Friday, but it was quite wet, and raining, so we headed inland to return to the desert via a different route.  We had lunch at Thai Palms in Desert Hot Springs (DHS) when we got home.  Yum yum.

Saturday we were relaxing in the morning having coffee when we were summoned for a rehearsal of our Renaissance era luncheon production.  We had been given the wrong time originally.  Not that many in attendance, but we all did our best for the first run through of our play, really a skit, played around a luncheon event.  It was taken very seriously by the director, so we did our best.  Lary and I will hold a flute duel, he supporting Scotland, whereas I am an English jester, so I uphold England's honour!  Of course I win, even though his Scottish brogue is flying furiously.

Today Sunday we waited for our new tenants to arrive, and then took them over to the unit, later hastily arranged for the rental of a golf cart for them, as she has bad trouble with her spine and our place isn't near the pool or clubhouse.  We then left the park and headed out to buy a new barrel chair for our house, so now we have seating for 3, and we will use a dining room chair for the fourth person.  The new chair will be delivered tomorrow, what great service.

Spur of the moment after shopping for new walking shoes for Lary, and a new lamp for our rental, we called Wendy and Dave, and visited them for Happy Hour.  Fun.  We are planning to go to a special restaurant for my birthday, us 4, and we'll also host Wendy and Dave for Christmas, as we've spent the last two at their house.

That's it for our latest.
