We began our March vacation in Thousand Palms, California, staying with our friends Suzanne and Larry Peterson. We had a fun filled four days. The first day we visited the Living Desert. We saw beautiful plants and trees growing in this dry climate. We enjoyed seeing the African animals who also live in the desert climate
We ended our afternoon at the San Andreas Fault. We drove out of town in the desert and all of a sudden we saw a big stand of palm trees. Water seeps up through the fault to provide water for the trees. We took a mile hike to see the small lake formed by more water from the fault. We decided we were pushing our luck to one week stand of the beach with a chance of a tidal wave hitting the beach and the next week to be standing on the San Andreas Fault.
Friday Al played golf in the Squarehead Scramble. This is a golf tournament for Petersburg people living in the area. Al has not had a golf club in his hands for about 5 years. His team won the 1st place trophy!!! I spent the day with a friend at a quilt show, lunch in downtown Palm Springs, and a visit to a quilt shop. We both had fun days. About 75 people gathered for dinner after they played golf.
Saturday afternoon my friend Sylvia had a luncheon for me on her patio. About 14 of us gathered for good food and lots of visiting
Al and Larry visited with Wally and his brother Norris while we had our luncheon. After the luncheon we went over for a visit at the Swanson's beautiful home.
Our friends Wally and Colleen SwansonOur last night in Thousand Palms was spent with our hosts, and Wally and Colleen Swanson and their daughter Caol and her husband John. We went to PF Changs for dinner and to celebrate Larry's birthday. It was a perfect ending to a great vacation in California.
