March 25,26,27,28 I start Painting class on Wednesday. Sherri brings the twins to show them off and I return to her house to stay overnight as they have a wine festival they have tickets for. Both Bill and I sit on Saturday as Gerry and Sherri have a BYC work party. Some where along the way I get extreme hay fever and a an annoying cough. Sunday is a right off although the weather was perfect warm and sunny. Bill heads down to the boat to get away from my hacking.

March 20 Friday
It is trying to rain. Yep we must be getting close to home. We sleep in a bit and stop at Sherris resturant in Bellingham for breakfast. The border crossing was the easiest ever. How long were you down South and what did you buy. Then OK and we were on our way. They didn't ask for recites or any thing. We get to the Cariboo RV park in the pouring rain around 11.30 . Bill backs in on his own ( fork lift driver was out ) but he did very well. We drive out to Sherri's as they want me to baby sit so they can go to the hocky game. I stay overnight as they both have blood work to do in the morning. Bill checks the boat and picks me up around 5pm.

March16 Monday
We move outside the park for 1 night. Sheila invites us for lunch so I do not have to cook with no hookup. Wonderful. We take in the car-a van presentation. One takes a car instead of your RV and you hotel it. It is great for the women as she doesn't have to cook. We take in the one and only line dancing class in the afternoon. We didn't do bad not line dancing for about 2 years. Clark and Sheila drive us downtown Palm Springs for dinner and we decide to do Mexician this time. We get a great table with the view of the sidewalk and a band. Great music from our area and very good food. We decide to walk the streets which are amazing quite busy and so were the restaurants. So much for the economy .

March 12 Thursday
Today we take an hour and a half drive to Joshua Tree National Park. Clark and Sheila have a season Pass. I take them on a hike to the Stamp Mill at Wall Street Mill. There are 3 old vehicles scattered all around and an old wind mill and a water pump and well. We walk all around the mill and see the large stamps for crushing the ore. We stop at an old movie set at Pioneer town in 29 palms. I loose miserably at pokino tonight.

March 7 Saturday
Today Rennie and I go to Morango. When we get there we find them catching and banding humming birds. They ask if I would like to release one and I say yes. What an experience holding a hummer. It was interesting watching them catch them too. We do the hike around the outer Park . We meet up with 2 people on the trail on horsreback. Again a lot more flowers then last time. Tonight I help Rennie download pictures and put titles on her pictures using the free program Picasa. We did not get finished so will work on them again tomorrow.

I take 3 people to hike with Paul at the Coachella preserve. We have 8 people all together. We do McCallum trail and Moon Country. What a difference from last month as many many more wild flowers are in Bloom. It was very windy today but the sun still shone. It got up to 75'(24) Watching BC news Vancouver is getting more snow tomorrow
March 5 Thursday
The park has a free demo on techniques to enhance digital photos .She was very interesting and had some wonderful pictures but was too advanced for me as she was selling her photos. Tonight was the Art Walk on El Paseo again. 6 people came in our group. Some improvement was noted but nothing near what it used to be.
OOOPs Shannon is correct I do not read her e-mails correctly. They have not left yet and are still in Pueroto Montt. They will be exploring the area around the big island Ilsa Chiloe and taking a land trip into the lake district and hopefully go to a smoking volcano. They are checking the area out before the guest arrive on March 14 for two weeks. They also want to find some of the hot springs in the area. Then they leave for Ecuador

We just enjoy the sunshine Monday.
Tuesday the park has a thrift store tag along. This time we do Palm Springs. Equipped with a map and schedule we depart with 5 car loads. We go to 4 shops before lunch. Some of us go to Las Casuelas (family owned since 1958) on 368 N Palm Canyon drive. Great Mexican food. We go to 6 more shops so we arrive back late after 5pm. We are all exhausted.
