Had a very interesting lesson at Annie's yesterday. All about playing duets, often with the same key flute, but an octave apart. Some very good clips from Clint Goss website, then we practiced lots, it was interesting, challenging and fun, too. Chip and Marty were there, as well as us, but Barbara was missing, busy doing something else. On the way to Annie's we actually bumped into Georgette and Harold, our friends from home. I recognized their motorhome and her car, I know the licence plate. So we both pulled over on the shoulder of I-10 and had a visit. Turned out that they had spent Wednesday night in the park right across the street from us, at Caliente Springs. What a coincidence to meet friends from home just arriving down here in the Valley.
Picked up my shoes at the shoe repair shop, and ate dinner at a wee Greek restaurant right downtown, then came home and spent a quiet evening.
Today Friday I went to exercise class, and Lary walked out into the desert. After that we cleaned our dusty windows here at the trailer, then we headed into town to meet other friends from Nanaimo, Diana and Howie. We ate lunch at Jackalope Ranch sitting outside in their pretty gardens, it was very warm, 78 or so today, but a windy weekend forecast, and temps to go down somewhat. Still no snow on the local mountains as yet.
We are starting to get excited about our trip to Hawaii now. Tuesday we go to LA and Weds we fly to Kona. Tonight we went to Annie's flute circle at 7 PM and played our flutes, it wasn't our 'finest hour', Lary and I did a duet and it wasn't good, rather yucky in fact. Oh well. We tried something without practicing first.
We're off for Happy Hour and perhaps dinner out tomorrow with Wendy and Dave, and on Sunday have friends from Victoria coming over to visit us here. Would love to get in touch with Georgette and Harold, they are down in Thermal about 1.5 hours south of us here, but I phoned and left them a message, also emailed them, and no response so far. We are quickly running out of time to get together with them before Hawaii.
