Continuing Saga Part 2

More catch up starting Feb.

Mon Feb 1 to Sat Feb 6
Each week has was our normal daily activities I previously talked about, I will just note any additions.
On Thursday I lined up to get the Canada Day tickets which sold out in 10 minutes or so, 280 tickets. By the way if you go to http://www.rwcarlow.smugmug.com/ there is a GVP photo gallery. It includes events from before we got here and things we didn't become involved in but there are a lot of Canada Day Photos, one is actually of us at the table with other people at the table whom I don't remember the names of; the previous photo is of Joannie & George and to the left are Vern & Jane. We know a lot of the other people in other photos from VB & other activities. I may download some to our photo file for this trip and post here as well.
On Sat there was the Craft Bazaar & Bake Sale where we got some goodies.

Sun Feb 7 to Sat Feb 13.
Sunday was Super Bowl & they had a big TV set up in the Ballroom and there were chili dogs, hot dogs, drinks, potato chips etc on sale. The game was quite good as it was close and had some great plays, the major game maker being a late 4th quarter interception by the New Orleans Saints that they ran back for a touchdown, they won by 14 points, (2 touchdowns) and it was the interception that made it next to impossible for Indanappolis Colts to tie the game and maybe force OT. Monday was Canada Day & it was great as you might tell fromthe pictures, great decorations, nearlyeveryone wearing red & Canada shirts withme & Sheila being the exceptions. It started about 4 & the dancing ended just before 9. The pipers & drummers were from Summerland Pipe Band and apparently 2 drove down for the event, one came over from Tuscon & another from Phoenix. Don't know if I mentioned it but they also put on a noon hour show at the Cabana area the next day to quite a large crowd. The next "event" that week was Black Wednesday when Sheila left for home. Palm Springs Airport is really user freindly, small, easy to get to and park & check in was a breeze. Fri saw our Olympic torch relay I have told you about in emails.
Sat afternoon there was a VB Happy Hour gathering for all the players at Bob & Cheryls motor home from 4 to 6. (Sheila, Bob wears the baseball hat with Boss on it, - from Hugo Boss I assume). Well it is 5:30 on Thursday so time to make Hamburger Helper for supper & then over for Mex Trains, to be continues In Part 3 untill we catch up with preasent time.
