Lary got up out of bed Monday feeling a bit better, but sounding very croaky still. He went over to the Travel Club meeting at Catalina Spa, and I went and did girlie stuff, haircut, pedicure, nails etc.
When I got home Lary had his small suitcase ready to go, packed, and had washed the sheets from our bed. I packed in a bigger suitcase and did the rest of the laundry, it's pretty inexpensive here at our park, $1 for wash and same for dryer. And a very clean laundry room with iron and ironing board set up ready to go. Very handy even if I have to leave my unit to go up to the clubhouse. Some women have washing machines in their outdoor sheds, but not us. There are outdoor lines to air dry stuff you can't dry in the dryer too. And that works pretty well as the desert sucks the moisture right out of the clothes, usually overnight.
My hair is very short and the hairdresser didn't dry it which I don't care for, it fluffs up when it's dried with a blow dryer and that's what I like. When Cathy was doing my nails she put on the movie The Help, so I managed to watch a bit of that and realize that it is well worth seeing. Very touching, even the snippets that I saw.
Nice Christmas card from an old friend in Nova Scotia. Hi Ginny.
Now it's Tuesday, and we're waiting to leave for LA where we overnight (both ways) before flying to Kona tomorrow Wednesday, for 2 weeks. We are both really looking forward to the trip, the weather is supposed to be high 70s low 80s the whole time we are there, but it doesn't cool off at nights like the desert does. About 68 overnight or something like that in Kona.
Our weather here continues to be pretty well ideal, nice warm days and very chilly nights, great for sleeping. Wonder if we will find snow has arrived on the local mountains when we get back. We are very sorry to miss the Palm Springs Film Festival this year, it's right now and when we'll be away.
We aren't taking our computer with us, I have ordered an IPad 2 with our Air Miles points, but of course it will go to our Nanaimo home so I can't use it til I get home. It would likely have been very handy for this type of trip.
I was looking at Georgette's when we were together, but she's a real gadget girl and is very good with all the techie stuff, whereas I am not so good on it.
