Post Christmas Recovery

Here we are! Palm Springs. Warm. Luscious. Beautiful. This was the view from the kitchen window this morning. The long ride south was a challenge as the main freeway had three, count'em, three accidents within a short span. The traffic was a nightmare and one of us needed a bathroom (Michael) so off the freeway we went! We saw the best (?) parts of Beaumont and worked our way back onto the freeway just past the final accident. It added over an hour to our trip.

The house had no address on it and, while I was walking trying to find it, the cleaning people came out to let me know this was the house! It is BEAUTIFUL and so much nicer than expected. A Mid-Century Modern filled with antiques and fun art. But NASA, we had a problem. The locking system would not work, the owner's agent had to go back to the office and brought back a low-tech key! What a concept! That took some time, which William used to find a great, simple, cool place for dinner. He and I than made our way into the hot tub for a few hours of conversation. A mother's dream.

Today, we are off to Joshua Tree. William has been there before and knows what he wants to show us. The weather will be in the 70s with lots and lots of sunshine!

What a way to finish off 2017.
