California Desert Cities

Took a fun drive through Joshua Tree National Park in the Jeep on an un-maintained road. I got to do all the driving for the first time on one of these jaunts. Got rather exciting for the last half hour in the dark when the roads were at their worst...but we made it through. I loved it. Gregg sweated it...


Had a personal RV driving lesson today - wow! I learned SO much. Now I can back up, turn corners, get into parking spaces, drive on city streets. Great teacher and fun learning. I highly recommend this to all my RVing girlfriends.

Also had Gregg teach me all the procedures for unhooking and hooking up to utilities, etc, everything needed for me to make a trip on my own. Which I plan to do in Feb and take my kids over to NM to visit my sister. Road trip!!!


Celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary yesterday. Gregg took me to his favorite restaurant for lunch. I got to help choose a dinner restaurant. The Chop House was great.










Saw the Palm Springs Follies which is a great show - 20 years old now. The singers and dancers are all 50+ years old, some in their 70's and 80's and they look, and dance, great! Lots of comedy, wonderful songs from 40's, 50's, 60's, fantastic costumes. We loved it!
Lesley Gore was special guest star, did several numbers and met the audience in the lobby after. She is no taller than me! Said she took the words "short" and "old" out of her vocabulary. Good idea!
