Sunshine and golf in Palm Desert

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday’s cold and wind gave way to bright sunshine today. We had bacon and eggs for breakfast. Max, who had nearly slept through the night, was a happy boy again today. I played with Max and Sue and Alex took the bikes to the Flea Market. They came back with a few purchases. Then we had lunch. After lunch we packed up in the van and Tim and I went golfing at the Oasis course. Booked it on GolfNow.com for $20 each. The course was in beautiful shape. The sun was still shining. Our play on the par 60 course was mostly pretty good. We called Sue to come pick us up at around 4:30. The girls and Max had gone for a stroll on El Paseo — Max had slept for most of the walk. They went home at around 3 and Sue and Max spent some time with the ‘Jolly Jumper’ — where Max sort of got the hang of it and was laughing loudly for most of his time in there. Sue made a great curried shrimp and pasta supper, Alex made a salad. Then we watched some golf on TV. Between 9 and 10, Max, Alex, Tim and Sue all went to bed. I wrote my journal and then went to sleep too.

After a pretty good sleep, Max enjoyed a little morning visit with Rudy and Alex.
