Rainy and chilly today

Whew we felt right at home today as it poured with rain this afternoon. We attended a board meeting today, the board runs our park and it is interesting to attend the meetings.

The main front gates have been closed so far this season, needing a clicker to open, which means that the park doesn't appear to be very friendly, and also people with units to sell have no way of showing them to prospective buyers. And when you have trades people come, they have to phone you at the gate to be let in, a bit of a cumbersome process. There was quite a bit of discussion about that.

I Di have volunteered to be on the next entertainment committee, so I was introduced at the meeting, along with other folks wanting to do the same. Should be interesting and I thought that would be a good way of giving back, and also getting to know more folks, and see how the park is run.

After the meeting we went to Desert Hot Springs for a few errands, and to post some Christmas presents, then came home and stayed in while it rained. Higher up in the mountains snow is forecast and chains are required up high in places near Idyllwild. Rain here can be more dangerous than home, the soil doesn't absorb the water as quickly as at home, and the puddles can be very dangerous.

More showers for Tuesday, then another storm rolling in after that. Hmmmmm.

Last night we watched a program about the Christmas decorations in progress in the White House this year, it was very interesting.

Got 2 Christmas cards today, a red letter day for us both getting news from home. We already had 2 so that's 4. Whoopee.

We have 3 big red bows on our white vinyl fence, and a couple big red bows on the front of our park model trailer. It looks somewhat festive, and tomorrow I want to put up some lights, too around our front stairs. Not much space/place inside for many decorations.

I have wrapped our Xmas presents for friends already. There was a religious march near here today related to Our Lady of Guadalupe, about 4000 marchers in the desert towns. Interesting tradition, reminded me of my time in Spain.

That's it for today.
