After spending ten wonderful days celebrating the holidays with family and friends we cruised south to SoCal, spending one night in Willows, CA. Near perfect traveling weather with some mild to moderate fog and haze otherwise clear, calm and of course Warmer! 🌞
Check out Catalina's new website and see if you recognize anyone in the soaking pool and pickleball photos. 😊

We continue to live the life of snowbirds...pickleball, soaking in the spa and enjoying time with friends. Friday we attended a campfire/sing-along. Sunday we had the best smoked brisket ever, prepared by Chad and Leslie.Läs mer

We continue to enjoy near perfect weather, except for the much needed rain on Monday and Tuesday. This week we went out for pizza with our pickleball group, test drove a motorhome with Chad and Leslie, hiked the Moon Country trail in the Coachella Valley Preserve, attended the FMCA rally in Indio, listened to good music at the Sunday Jam (Chad's on the left) and rounded out our week enjoying good food, drink and friends at Chad and Leslie's happy hour.Läs mer

A busy week here at Cat Spa. I rose early to watch the Super Blue Blood Moon on Wednesday. Randy and I competed and volunteered in our first sanctioned pickleball tournament held February 1-3. There were over 110 competitors as well as dozens of spectators and volunteers. Randy played men's, and I, women's doubles as well as teaming up for mixed doubles... we didn't place but it was a fun experience. Many thanks to our tournament director, Jim as well as Angie. Saturday was girls night out for Leslie and I... we danced our hearts out to Ghosts of Kelso. Sunday we were joined by Jim and Angie at Mario's where we watched the Superbowl. 🏈 Surprised my cousin Steve there, as it's his favorite hangout.Läs mer

On Monday we took a road trip with Jim and Angie to the Grocery Outlet in Hemet. We stocked up on wine, as well as other essentials such as Juanita's tortilla chips (made in Hood River, OR) which are rare in these parts. We also stopped at the Cabazon Outlet Mall.
Tuesday Leslie and Chad hosted happy hour before we headed to the pickleball courts for a couple of hours of play under the lights, wine, more snacks and a campfire.
Wednesday we met our neighbors from Boring, Ken and Patsy, for lunch at Eureka! in Indian Wells... good food and good friends.

Windy and cold on Monday, cold continues Tuesday...of course everything's relative with lows in the low 40's, highs in the low 60's. Wine and pickleball under the lights Tuesday evening.
Wednesday we traveled an hour southeast with Jim, Nancy, Marc and Patti to hike the ladders trail in the Mecca Hills Wilderness. Up and down ladders, through slot canyons and along plateaus to view fantastic rock formations and vistas of the mountains, canyons and Salton Sea. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/tra…
On the way home we stopped at the Oasis Date Gardens then lunch at TKB Bakery and Deli where we enjoyed one of the most delicious sandwiches ever. 😋 https://www.tkbbakery.com/Läs mer

We had a cool and breezy but fantastic final week at Cat Spa. Thursday we helped Dennis celebrate his birthday. Friday was crazy sock day for our weekly pickleball round robin. We didn't win craziest socks but Randy had the highest overall score with 9 out of 9 wins!🏆
Saturday dinner, music and dancing. Monday we hosted happy hour. Tuesday we had lunch at Frankinbun, a restaurant featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.🌭 I had the chicken and waffle, Randy a chili dog. Both were good but a bit overpriced. Loved the wallpaper! http://www.frankinbun.com/
Wednesday we enjoyed good food, drink and company at our farewell potluck. Thank you Angie, Jim, Barbara, Pete, Donna, Rick, Marc, Patti, Jim, Nancy, Chad and Leslie.Läs mer
