It was a really lovely weekend with the S & S group. I don't know how they do it. Friday (Saturday morning 6.am) and Saturday (Sunday morning 6.am) they were still up not been to bed yet .... boy ... they've got stamina which I had in my 20's ..... a long time ago.
Great to see you S &; S. Same time next year. I think we'll open the doors so you can all experience the S & S weekend. LOL!!!!
PS Is it really only 72 hours since Tracy, Chris & Pete from Salt Lake City, Scott from PA and Mike and Tony from Bournemouth UK left? Seems like a year.

The S & S weekend
I don't know how many of you know but, once a year we welcome a group from San Diego. The S & S is for Suzi & Sara who organise the whole thing. We are full to overflowing for 3 nights this weekend god bless 'em. Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Bi and everything in between!! (The tweenies).
They are a fun group and actually a lot more interesting than some of our all male groups.It is the only weekend Stuart and I don't mix with the guests ... not because they don't want us, but they are a group of friends and we feel as if are interlopers!!! That's OK. We left them to their own devices and went to lunch at the Dickie O'Neals Irish pub here in Palm Springs for fish and chips. Give me Escena anytime. By the way, what they serve as 'chips' are not chips. They're French Fries!!! Not the same!!
Here's the menu for the weekend! You're welcome! The last thing on the list? - Fisting of course!
I assume Paddling isn't walking around in the shallow end?

Bee Beep!!!
We had a visit from a Road Runner a couple of days ago. Poor thing. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture but they are the most peculiar birds strutting around; a bit like a small chicken with less meat!
I say 'poor thing' because he was obviously distressed and disoriented. Mainly because we used to see him in the desert opposite which is now a parking lot and he doesn't know where he is anymore. He walked around the entire patio, panting with tongue hanging out. Stuart tried to give him water but eventually he found his way out. Jumped onto the fence and off he went. Who knows where he is now.
There is a Road Runner who is a regular on the patio of the Escena Bar & Grill. They call him Arthur for better reasons known only to them!!!!!

Can you imagine ....... it's the last day of September
Today, at 11am, the temperature (in the shade) was 106f (41c)!! One of the hottest days of the year. And it's almost October and we are in autumn. After I turned on the misters, the temperature dropped to below 100f within 15 minutes. Whew! (Phew?).
Anyhow, we had a great afternoon,. Trip and Bud from Atlanta are with us, leaving tomorrow. Mike from Slidell LA has just bought a house in the north of PS, but is with us for a few more days. Dennis, AJ, Peter and Tim dropped by. Tim brought a platter of salamis, cheeses and crackers!! Nobody was in the mood for a flogging.
Mike and John joined in the festivities as did Mark and Eric. Quite the partay!! Red wine flowed. Not that we are beer drinkers but ... Budwieser and clamato juice combo. I don't thimk so!!!!

Catching up!!!!
I know .... I KNOW!!!!! It's been a while.
Lovely weather, gorgeous guests especially the two German men from Dusseldorf who last stayed with us 7 years ago .. shame on you! They drove to San Francisco yesterday for Folsom festivities. They will be in great demand.
Jim and Terry are here. We went to Whitewater for a picnic on Monday, 7 of us. Me, Stuart, Dennis, AJ, Jim & Terry and Tim (friend of D & AJ). We had a wander (can hardly call it a hike) and gaped at the ranger as he strolled by showing off his incredible chest in his tight uniform shirt !!! Oh dear, what we do for entertainment these days now that we are getting on.
Greg is here from New Mexico looking for an apartment so he can move here. Another one!
Nothing much else ... Tony dropped by yesterday from the outer regions for a visit; Yucca that is.
A quiet weekend but that's OK.
We have decided to bite the bullet and have the decking done, again. Third time since we've been here. They will start early December just as I am leaving for England. When I get back, it'll all be done. Funny how that happened. This time it's a reputable company who will give us a 10 year guarantee unlike the other fly by nights. It's a good job we're secret millionaires!
Oh, and Danny has built me a quiet enclave where I can go when the going gets tough (girls weekend, body modification weekend, both in October). Me, a box of red wine, my I-Pod and my hammock. What else could I wish for!!! Shaded by a lemon tree!! Heaven.

Weather is gorgeous.
Wow, the weather is perfect, mid 90's and looking great for the weekend. Once again, return visitors and some newbies. Visitors from Fort Lauderdale, Mike from New York is still with us (thank goodness!!!), but mainly from CA.
We are looking forward to seeing our friends Jim and Terry from San Francisco arriving next week. We saw them at Dore Alley (inside Twin Peaks actually for early cocktails) and also for cocktails at Dick K's apartment. Lovely!

Labor Day Weekend
This is turning into a lively weekend, every room taken and mostly by return visitors. Welcome back to Joe, Al and Ginger. Our friend Joe is visiting from North Carolina with his friend Randy. Welcome back to Chip from North Hollywood, Dick K from San Francisco who puts us all to shame!!!!!!!!!
Of course, Mike from New York (2nd time this year), not least the delightful 'Booes' in again from Phoenix, Steve and entourage from Granada Hills, CA. Welcome welcome, one and all. Not to forget our new visitors; from Carlsbad, Oakland and Fort Lauderdale. Here's hoping you will all become return visitors.
Weather is beautiful now after our latest monsoon last Thursday. Thunder, lightening and more rain than our gutters could cope with.
Labor Day is supposed to mark the end of summer and the begining of the Palm Springs 'season'. Here's hoping and looking forward to being busy.
Oh, and of course, busy weekend, nearly 100 degrees and one of our air conditioners stopped working. Typical. Saturday call-out charge and now we have to buy a new unit. It wouldn't be one of the wall units oh no, one of our three roof units. Good job we're secret millionaires!!!!!!!!!!
