Connor and Jillian had a karate tournament today. Unfortunately, Jillian has been sick and she missed it. Connor won a gold medal in the Weapons Form category and a bronze medal in the Board Breaking category. Congratulations, Connor!


We moved today from Menifee, CA to Desert Hot Springs. It's a nice park and this will be our last week in California. :-( We will be heading to Salome, AZ next Saturday and then to Casa Grande, AZ the following Saturday. We drove to Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert this evening. Whew...you would never know there was a recession going on when you are there! We even saw a Bentley dealership in Rancho Mirage...don't think I've ever seen one of those before.


On Thursday we met Gwen & Jim; their son, Michael; their daughter, Jamie and her hubby and children; my cousin, Mari and her friend, Jim for dinner near our park. It was a great evening! I had not seen their son or Mari yet, so that was another great reunion. We are planning to meet up with Mari & Jim and Gwen & Jim this week for another visit before we leave. I spoke to Cheryl & Paul last night and we are also planning to get together with them this week before we leave California. They have been in Nevada getting their new motor home repaired for the past 2 weeks, so we haven't seen them in a while. This will be a fun week, but also very sad. It has been so great to see my cousins and get reacquainted with them after 40 years. We have had a wonderful time and they all made us feel so welcome. We will be sad to leave here, but we are definitely planning to return here in 2 years. (If they don't have our pictures posted at the border so we can't get back in.) When we return we are planning to go further north in CA and visit Yosemite National Park and a few other places. Have I mentioned lately that "THIS IS THE LIFE???"
