Not much happening here at Emerald Cove. We have been doing some spring cleaning, getting all the sand and dust from our time in Quartzsite out. We have played Bingo a couple of nights and Ed has played some poker. We have yet to play the mini golf course they have here. We basically are being lazy and cleaning little by little. We went up to the bar last night for Karaoke.
We finally had the wiring for our direct tv fixed the right way. When we were in Quartzsite we had them come and install a new LNB on our dish so we now have a DVR and a separate receiver in the bedroom. I can watch something different now in the bedroom! I'm doing a happy dance.
We are still getting used to the DVR. We have recorded some shows and will start recording movies to keep.
Still have a list of chores to do...but then we are here for 5 weeks...Maybe it's time to go check out the casino!!

All good things must come to an end
And so our time here at Quartzsite is ending. We had one last bonfire last night.
And everyone started leaving this morning. Now we have this big empty space beside us. Yesterday we had 4 other rigs out there! Now there are only 2 of us left.
We have had a wonderful time here, meeting some new friends from the class of 2009 and reconnecting with classmates from 2008. Lots of eating out..soon its back to the diets.
Tomorrow we leave for Emerald Cove, our home park on the Colorado River. We will be staying there for the next 5 weeks giving our home it's 'spring cleaning'. After the wind and dust flying around the desert, it really needs it!
One last thing...Today is our grandson's 10th birthday. Happy Birthday Ramey Jay!
Love ya.
Here he is with his big sister, Ciera.

Batten down the hatches!
The storms that have been hitting California have reached us here in Quartzsite. The first storms that went through California gave us a moderate amount of rain and occasionally some winds.
I guess it is only fair that the stronger the storms are in California, the stronger they are here. It rained pretty hard last night and the winds were not bad, but now we are really getting buffetted by some strong winds.
All of the motorhomes in our group have pulled in their slides and no one has their satelite dishes up. No one is going anywhere. We are better off staying where we are than trying to drive these high profile vehicles in the wind!
As long as we have water and our generator continues to hum we will be okay. As one in our group said, "The good news is we have no trees or power lines to fall on us."
