Our April camp out was at Emerald Desert resort in Palm Springs.  We left home and it was hot already but that didn't last more than a day.  Thursday found it windy and cooled off but every day after was still windy and cooler.  When we went into town it was nice behind the mountain which was protected from the wind.  We went to the Follies to watch the ladies sing and dance.  They all look wonderful with slim figures, great legs, good voices=I wish I could look that good when I get to be 70.  The oldest was in her 80's and sang great.  While we were there my temporary crown came off.  Made a trip to drug store and got some cement which lasted about an hour when I swallowed  the temporary with my salad.  No more eating now. Made another trip to drug store and found  something that is like a cap.  It didn't last long and it was out too.  We put it on again and I slept on it and it adhered good so I was able to keep it on for 3 more days until we got home and  the permanent was installed.  What a hassle and an experience.  John isn't sure he wants to take me camping any more as this is twice now he's had a problem with health issues for me.  Of course he wasn't doing so well himself.  Before we left his blood pressure got really low and he felt light headed.  Went to Dr. and gave him an IV as he was dehydrated. So he drank a lot of water while we were there and purchased a BP machine to watch his blood pressure which was fine after that.  Dr has since taken one of his pills away and cut another in half and he's feeling much better.  This month was our grandson Cody's 16th birthday and we had a great party at his parents house.  I finished up my bowling league but since we are going to be home for awhile I started the summer league.  We ended up in the middle of 10 teams so did Ok.  Everybody was home for Easter this year so I had dinner.  The kids had a great Easter egg hunt and the other day I found the last egg hidden in the planter now for 2 weeks.  Good thing it was plastic.  We took some family pictures=although not everybody was happy about that but you have to jump on these occasions or they slip by. 

Virginia and I went to Big Bear in March to get our fix for the mountains. We have been doing that a couple of times a year for many years. We go and look at houses for sale. Well this time we found one we liked and made an offer on it. The offer was accepted, and now we are in escrow for a home in the mountains. We are very excited. 

We have have so many things going on this spring. Graduations, birthdays, home repair, new home, and a trip this summer that starts in July. We have been looking for furniture, and have found some but have not had a lot of luck finding any for mountain homes, these days dark furniture is in. Well, I am going to stop now and try and post some pictures of the family at Easter. Will write more next month. John & Virginia
