March 18 Friday 2011 Desert Pools

today I go to Bob Flemings rig to view pictures he took on his trip to North Africa. He is sure glad he went when he did as things are very different now. Bob is a member of BYC. We have him for dinner and exchange adventure stories. Weather is still too hot for Bill ( in the 80ies)

REMEMBER-The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.

March 19 Saturday 2011 Desert Pools

We leave early and go to the COD (college of the desert) swap meet- 400 booths. I find a tutu for Madison and a spiderman cape for Carter. Bill buys a wallet. We do our last shopping at the 99cent only store and Wal-Mart. We run into Annette and Orv in the 99cent store.

REMEMBER-Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

It is that time of the year again when we go from our winter home to our summer home. Wednesday we will head North.We expect to be in Vancouver Saturday or Sunday. We will stay in the Burnaby Carriboo RV park until the end of April. Time to get our doctor and eye appointments as well as our income taxes taken care of. We will move onto the boat in May. This year we will stay local , Pender harbour being the fartherest we go. The twins are 2 ½ so will spend quiteabit of time with them , so expect more pictures of Carter and Madison. Nothing exciting is planned until late January or February 2012 when we are trying to take another OATs trip. This time to Ruta Maya in Guadamala and Belize. (Coba and Tical) ruins). We spent most of the winter in Palm Springs area a destination that has a dizzying assortment of attractions and activities that for fill all culinary and sensory needs. The San Jucinco mt .as it's background and swaying palm trees made for pleasant surroundings. We enjoyed staying in one park for 3 months without moving. Next year we will probably pay for one month(January) when the family comes down. We are thinking of heading to Sedona in October and working our way from there .
