Fun In The Sun

Yes, woke up to another beautiful day. Made the coffee and called Jerry, my brother, to see how they were fairing in the land of ice and snow. They are managing but really think that enough is enough. 

Grabbed a grapefruit from the tree out back for breakfast. At around 10ish we decided to head out on the bikes to Nick and Steve's. These bikes are not the best to say the least. Geoff barely had breaks and my bike just didn't fit at all. Nevertheless, we made it to the other side and stopped into the vegan restaurant near their house to pick up something for lunch.  Some sort of virtual buffalo chicken wrap.

Talked for a bit and then it was time to hit the pool.  The pool outside their unit was pretty cold so we just read for a bit. After lunch (which was quite tasty), we walked over to the larger pool. A bit warmer, very refreshing. There is also a jacuzzi there which we took full advantage of. At around 3:30 we had enough sun and went inside.  We chatted for a bit and headed back. Our hosts were still not back from their trip. We read for a bit outside and then it was time to shower and get ready to go back to Nick's for dinner.

Because of the heat, the heavy pasta dinner changed into a California fare. Fresh shrimp, cheeses, avocado, asparagus, chips, salsa.  It was perfect - very light and no stress.  We talked till way past our bedtime. Had dessert and it was time to go home.  Tomorrow we will all go up to Pioneertown. An old west town built in the 40's for filming movies and TV shows. I'm just glad I don't have to get on that bike again!  Till then...

Next time ... Pioneertown
