 We have had the motorhome for sale for a week or so now and have had no interest from EBay, RV Trader etc here in Palm Springs area. BUT we have had a lot of interest from Kijiji Edmonton. So we have decided to take it home and sell it in Canada. 

In the mean time... we are buying a Park Model in Rainbow Spa. 

There is a tenant renting it until end of May, so we left a nice deposit but, won't be taking possession until we return in the Fall. It needs some TLC but we are up to the task. So this fall we will be driving down with the car.

St Paddy's Day at Rainbow Spa. 

Sitting with friends for Corned Beef and Cabbage.

There was a parade in the morning (no pics) and a Bake Off afterwards. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.

This was also the desert table for after supper. A whole lot of green deserts!!

Activities are still happening in the park although outsiders cannot attend. 

 On Sunday the 6th of March we had a Luau dinner. It was well attended and the food was delicious. Michel and I were the greeters, Lei-ing everyone who came through the door. Some pictures .....

Then on Thursday the 10th was Ladies Luncheon, once again well attended by 20 ladies. We went to an Irish Pub called O'Caines. Great place, good food with wonderful friends. Pictures follow....

The park is now open to outsiders, as of Saturday the 12th. 

This day we had Patio Sales in the morning and then the evening was topped off with our annual Spring Fling Dance. 

That's all folks.....

more to come as this week is fairly busy.

Our park is in lockdown until end of February, and has been this way since January 13th when the Board voted to have it this way. It's not the end of the world, but this means no outside people are allowed to attend our activities. So our big event and fund raiser "Street Fair" has been cancelled, as well as the Valentines Dance. We are still plenty busy as the calendar of regular activities goes on and on ....

Yesterday the January Birthday Luncheon was well attended by 19 ladies from the park. There were 2 birthday girls present. We carpooled and had southern food at a restaurant in Cathedral City called Southern Bell. We all had a good time. And I must add it was very hard for Marion (standing) to find a restaurant that would take a big group like this with Covid looming in the air.

Then today Tina and I attended Maureen's Paint and Sip at Desert Oasis.  She was teaching us the technique of "Dot Art"....too many dots for me!!

This is the group, most of whom I know from previous years at the park.

Maureen includes me and Tina in all her workshops and we really appreciate her.

This is my project, still unfinished and I am not sure I even like it. Give me a paintbrush and I am much happier!
