PALM SPRINGS RAMBLINGS—COTHRELL POTLUCK<br />
T<br />
he weather in Palm Springs during the<br />
month of January was just perfect. Our<br />
weekdays started out with a 9:00 AM<br />
walk to Jack In The Box for coffee and opinions.<br />
There are two of these establishments<br />
approximately the same distance (1.5 miles), so<br />
a major decision had to be made each morning.<br />
As you know, decisions take time!<br />
The golf in the wintertime here is unbelievable. The sky is a deep blue, the sun is shinning,<br />
the temperature is in the 70's, and golf ball bounces on the fairway. It is the perfect<br />
place for winter golf. After a round of golf, your golf balls, irons, and shoes are<br />
clean! In addition, you can still play golf at a reasonable price.<br />
The pool (88 degrees) is a great place to relax in the afternoon. Imagine being surrounded<br />
by lush lawn, beautiful flowers, and palm trees gently swaying in the breeze.<br />
It is such a dramatic change from the weather back home. On a Thursday evening,<br />
you can have a milk shake & burger at Ruby's, and enjoy the surroundings of a restaurant<br />
from the 50's. Then you can walk the downtown Palm Springs Street-fair, where<br />
various vendors are selling unique items.<br />
Byron & Diane Hanke hosted a heavy hors d' oeuvres party in their new digs at Mission<br />
Hills. All awed at the remodeling of their residence. The view of the golf course<br />
from their patio is just beautiful. Diane provided all of the delicacies, and they were<br />
delicious. An enjoyed the party!<br />
LeRoy & Janice Cothrell hosted a pot luck get-together at their beautiful home in Bermuda<br />
Dunes, which over looks a golf course. The assortment of foods (especially<br />
Janice's ham) satisfied everyone's taste. Afterwards, Bridge, Pinochle, & Mexican Train<br />
games rounded out the rest of the evening.<br />
