Palm Springs Week Vacation a BLAST!

My brother Clark and my sisater-in-law Marilyn invited us to spend a week with them at their Marriott Villa in Palm Desert California. We wanted to get out of this bleek, cold, boring, depressing Cache Valley winter so we accepted.

Just out side of Barstow, Ca. We saw big road signs for Peggy Sue's Diner right out of the 50's. We stopped and had lunch. WOW...good food, and thousands of Hollywood Stars and Memorbilia all over the walls/ GREAT FUN!!!

Of course Bettyboops and I had to get together!!!

When you approach Palm Springs there are thousands of these windmills which turn in the wind to generate electricity for the desert people. Really an errie sight...aliens would wonder what these things were.

This is the Marriott Villa which Clark owns a time-share in. Really beautiful inside and I got to soak in the hot tub every night.

Clark golfed nearly every day and Roger drove the golf cart on one day..(boring)


Great swimming....WOW

We went one day to see the World Famous Palm Springs Follies. Would you believe that the show girls were 56 to 86 years-old? I could not believe it and they were beautiful!!!


On the last three days it rained and rained and RAINED...It never let up. There was flooding in the intersections and only 125 miles west in Los Angles there were mud slides and very dangerous conditions. We just stayed in or went to movies and ate out...We saw Avator...ate at the Cheese Cake Factory, Mimi's and many more fun places. I think I gained a pound or two.

On the way home there was snow on the desert. Oh NO, That's just what we came here to avoid. Oh well, we're cursed.


Regardless of the rain and touch of snow, we had fun and were ready to come home to shivering, cold, depressing Cache Valley.
