Vacation in Palm Springs

It has been months since I posted.  Lovely and family has come and gone, and we are having a small vacation in Palm Springs.  She came in Jamuary and left three weeks later.  It was so nice to have her here.  She went to San Francisco and then to San Diego too.  They did not take mom and dad, which was good because dad would not have made it.  After a lot of fighting, we finally got several care takers.  I also took dad to the VA and now we have care Sherrie from the VA and Kelly that we pay.  Sherrie comes Mon, Tue Thurs and Fri from 8 30 - 12 30, and Kelly comes on Wednesdays, same time.  I do the rest, and dad's stomach is better so that he does not have 10 poops a day.  Although he is not more aware of his surroundings, he seems to be ok with it.  Mom is better too with caretakers although i need to be more patient with her.

So Friday, we left about 8 30 and drove to Palms Springs, stopping at Cabazon to shop, with Kurt and KR buying shoes and jeans.  I did not buy anything.  We stopped at El Taco Asado off of Restaurant.com, on El Cielo, and it was good.  Then we checked into the MOTEL 6, where the dog is always welcome.  We had room 127 in the back.  We had dinner at Hamburger Mary's where the burgers were 16 bucks each !!!!!

This morning, we got up and walked the dog, and then we tried to hike the Museum Trail, but it was too hard to get the dog in the backpack, and anyway, KR had hurt his back, and then kicked the cement bump on the sidewalk, so his back went out again, and he was not in the mood to hike.  His back had been really hurting him the last two weeks, cannot surf, hard to work too.  So Kurt and I hiked almost all the way up and then we came down, had some breakfast at Jack in the Box and then went swimming  at the hotel pool.  Then we went walking to the main part of town and had a date shake at the greatest shake in town, then we ate at Sammy G's Tuscan Grill, with a restaurant.com coupon of course.  Then it was another walk to Ralph's, like last night to get another beer.  It was such a lovely evening.  It was 84 degrees today !!!
