February 2012

February 2^nd was Mike’s 65^th Birthday and Marc and Brandon took
Mike to Las Vegas to celebrate.

According to Mike, a good time was had by all!!

We had a great Super Bowl at the resort.  Tailgating on the back of
our golf carts …….. hot dogs and beer ……. And, of course,
we watched the game too!

Mike and some of his buddies went to “The King of the Hammers” off roading race. 
They camped out for 2 nights and spent the days with 75,000 other
enthusiasts watching the races.

Pat and I ride our bikes 10 – 20 miles around 4 days a week …… We decided that we should ride our bikes to Palm Springs (25 miles) and get a ride back home.  We rode the 25 miles and were very proud of ourselves to pose in front of our favorite deli ….. Shermans.  Mike, his brother Chuck and Chuck’s wife, Eva met us.  We all had a fabulous lunch and then Mike drove us home!

We had a great visit from Mike’s cousin Gloria and her fella Len. 
It was fun to have some time to catch up. 
We hadn’t seen Gloria in quite some time.

One day, while off-roading in the middle of nowhere, we came across this wonderful vacation home.  No roof, windows, doors, water, electricity or bathroom but we got a kick out of the “For Sale” sign.  This house was about 15 miles down a trail from the nearest paved road.

The annual “Bethlehem” street party was a great success.  Hundreds of people all
bring potluck dishes …… they have live music and plenty of drinks.  Lots of fun!!

We had a sell out crowd for our Italian Feast.  The food was fabulous and everyone
was stuffed when they left.  We had a great night!

We end February on a good note. 
The month was wonderful. 
Great weather and great friends.
