THREE MONTHS

March 3, 2020

We started our travels, 3 months ago today on December 3, 2019.  We have had more problems with our RV, truck and even our house in Renton than ever before in our 10 years of traveling. We have felt very lucky in the past, so guess this was our time. Eventho we have had alot of trouble, we are still glad we are here.  All of the problems seem to have been fixed, so all is good again. Our truck had some leaks, but that's all fixed. As you know, the AC had to be fixed, but that's all good now. Because of all the rain in Renton, we had a infestation of mice in our house. When it is so wet, they are just trying to find shelter. Our son Darin went on a mouse hunt and found 6 within a few weeks. Our nephew, Brad checked on them this week, but didn't find any. Hopefully that means they are gone. Our house sitter was too afraid to stay there so she moved out. I can certainly understand. Hopefully we are now done with all of our problems and get back to normal.

We went to Old Palm Springs a few days ago to walk around, geocache and eat at our favorite restaurant, The Fisherman's Market, the best fish and chips we have ever had. Also buy peanut brittle at See's candy. That is Denny's all time favorite. A trip to Palm Canyon drive is a must every season. 

Views from Old Palm Springs, love the Spanish influenced architecture





This is the Plaza Theater, built in the 1930's. Beautiful old place. It closed a few years ago, we were the last to see the Palm Springs Follies there. The Follies were a group of dancers ranging in ages from 60-92 that put on a Las Vegas type show. It was wonderful to see those dancers doing the full leg kicks and wearing those huge headdresses and costumes.   Disappointed that it closed. Nancy Sinatra is trying to raise funds to open the Theater again. 






This is the oldest barber shop in palm Springs, you can still get  a HC there






Palm Springs was very dog friendly  so they actually built these dog dishes on the street for them. They are dry now, but there used to be continuous running water in them
