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