January 2013

  Oops – January got away from me.  It’s already February and where did January go?

We went to Dog Show at the Indio Polo Grounds during January. 

It is the second largest dog show in America.  You will never guess what my favorite dog was.  Yep – Look at this adorable Westie!

Some friends of ours, the Sullivans, were showing their young dog. 
His name is Indy (short for Indio) and he is a beautiful Border Collie.

Mike says we are first on the list if Indy ever needs a foster home!

He’s a great dog.

Our annual “Welcome Home” fiesta was a huge success. 
The employees of the resort, fix the food for us and we all get to
enjoy a fabulous Hispanic dinner!

Yes – Believe it or not….Mike and I are taking dance lessons. 
This picture is trying out the Fox Trot.  We really enjoy the lessons
and hopefully, someday we will be able to dance in public   

Mike went on his yearly golf trip to Bandon, Oregon.  He didn’t take
any pictures this year but said that he had an outstanding trip. 
He loves the golf, he loves the poker, he loves the food, he loves the drinks ……..
but most of all he loves spending time with the fellas (especially Marc and Brandon)

While Mike was in Oregon, I went to the Southern California Quilt Show (the Road to California)
in Ontario.  Yes – This elephant is a quilt.  The Quilt Show was better than ever…..
and really crowded – but I loved every minute. 
A group of us girls went on a bus – what a way to see it all!!

This was one of my favorite quilts.  It was so much prettier in person.

I love the applique and all of the different colors.

I can’t say enough about how beautiful Outdoor Resorts in Indio is.

Our friend Steve Peterson sent me this gorgeous shot of the entrance!

What a great place to spend the winter!
