May 2017

May started out with a major windstorm!
At ORI, we lost 4 giant palm trees but

Fortunately we had no damage on our lot.

The next day, the sun came out and life was beautiful again.

For Mother’s Day weekend, we were invited up to Idyllwild
(in the mountains where the weather is so much cooler…. 100 degrees in the desert,

69 in Idyllwild)  We had a great weekend with Stan and Shelley.  So much fun!

May 17^th….our day to leave Indio and head north.  We traveled with friends, Tom
and another Janet.  ( I love her name!)  We spent the first night of our trip
at a County Park in Lone Pine California.  What an incredible view!

We traveled along Highway 395 and the Sierra Nevada
mountain range.  The snow on the mountains was

spectacular.

Second night was in Reno.  We arrived in time for a car show.

We both loved the Marine Corps truck!

Reno has a new baseball stadium…just a few blocks
from the main part of town.  It was built for
Reno’s 3A team, the Reno Aces.

My nephew, Brett Gundle, and his girlfriend Bridget

took us to a great Mexican dinner. 

I really enjoyed spending time with both of them.

Also while in Reno, we drove up to Truckee where we met our friends,

John and Sharon from Rocklin.  We enjoyed lunch and time to
catch up.

Finally back to our Sunriver property.  The deer were
waiting to give us a welcome home.

We ended the month on a great note!  Marc, Maria and family
came to Sunriver for Colby’s baseball tournament.

Two games, Saturday…Two games Sunday…..and two games Monday.
The weather was fabulous and the boys did quite well.

I love baseball and watching Colby play was a treat.

April 2017

April started out on a great note……

On our April Topless Run, We visited the Old Mission Inn
located in Riverside, CA.  It was gorgeous!

What a beautiful place, We took a tour.
It was outstanding.

The architecture at the Old Mission Inn
was very eclectic.

For John Kearsing’s birthday, we drove up in
the mountains to Idyllwild
for a great lunch.

We took a drive in the convertible up to
Pat’s (Mike’s sister) in Golden Valley, AZ.

Mike’s brother Chuck and his wife Eva, Tom and Vanessa
as well as Mike and I, all stayed at Pat’s for 3 nights.

We took a “Razor” trip out in the wild…found this
great lunch spot.

Wild Burro’s.  There must have been 15 – 20 of them
on the Razor trip.

While driving from Pat’s in Golden Valley to Chuck’s in Lake Havasu.
We were rear ended by a big rig truck.

My sweet little mustang – I think it is totaled.

We are sore and stiff but Thank God,
we are alive and kicking.

While spending time with Chuck and Eva,
we visited the London Bridge.

Stopped by the Flying X for a drink.

The crowd – in Havasu – Great group !

We must have been running on adrenaline.

I got a puncture would on my elbow during the accident.
Evidently, air got into my forearm.
I spent the night in the Lake Havasu hospital while
they gave me antibiotics and watched the air in my arm.

Mike is having a sore neck and his arms are stiff.
We are now back in Indio moving a little slower.

Here's hoping May will be a better month.
