Dr.Phil

Wednesday morning Carol and Linda (from Kelowna) went to see the Dr Phil show.

We dropped them off in the morning at the bus and it took them there and back. While they were there, Dave and I went to the Palm Springs Air Museum. George and I wanted to go if there was time. The girls had the cameras so we have no pictures. All the planes, mostly from the war, were in 2 hangars.

First the bus dropped them off for lunch at a farmers market in LA.

On Thursday evening we went to Kobe Japanese Steakhouse in Palm Desert. They have a fish pond with coy you could feed.


Here's a movie for the grandkids and everyone else.

Our friends we met at the RV site, Dave and Linda, have a friend from the restaurant Leah. It was nice to be there with someone familiar with the place.


The Japanese restaurant is one where the table surrounds the chef making your food. This video shows him cutting up the prawns. I had the Kobe beef. I have always wanted to try it, seeing it on cooking shows. Kobe beef comes from Japan. The cows are fed saki and beer and grain. They lay on beds and do not get exercise, to keep the meat tender. The cows have to be virgins. It runs $500.00 a pound. You have to try it once in your life, I have never tasted anything that tender.


Here the chef is making an onion ring volcano.

Today was too hot to do anything. It was 34 degrees (95F). Here's Dave relaxing by the pool in is favorite lounge. I think he likes to look at the old bats in the pool. Actually seeing the ladies in the pool, they are all staring at Dave.

Country Fair

Della found her grapefruit tree.

Then we were off to the Date Festival Fair.

Along with a Timber Logging show. I darkened my tan a bit here.


Here's a video for the kids. (and Kristen).

Visitors

Reitsmas dropped by for a visit. They are staying down the road.

George and Della also come for a few days.

Here's George, Della and Carol. Where's Waldo?

Getting some sun before Canada.

Sunshine Girls.

Update

People asked us to update what we have been up to. We went to the Oasis near us. It's nice and cool on hot days.

This gives you a size of the palms. It is also on the San Andreas Fault.

In the super market, this is how sausage is sold. With that face you wonder what is in the meat. Dog or monkey comes to mind.

The mountains got snow the other morning to amaze people.

We went to a dinosaur park and took some pictures to scare the grandkids.

Nana got equal billing. Watch those nightmares now.

This park was filmed in Pee Wees Big Adventure. You can go into this dinosaur from the tail to the mouth.

Here's Carol tickling his throat.

This is looking out the mouth. This is where Pee Wee sat with Large Marge looking at the stars.
