It has been raining for 3 days and the forecast calls for more rain the next 3 days! I've never missed the southwest as much as i do right now.
To get out, we headed to a new casino for lunch. Red Hawk Casino, nestled in the foothills just off Hwy 50 east of Shingle Springs. We opted for the "buffet" lunch which was a deal at $9.95. We were seated by one of the big windows that gives you a view of the surrounding area. Unfortunately the low clouds and rain diminished the view to about 500 feet. The food was very good by buffet standards. We usually eat at the cafe as you only get one plate.I always help my self to that dreaded 2nd plate at the buffet and pay later.
The park has been slow. Only 2 campers in the last couple of weeks. Three days on and six days off is not working for us, but we will tough it out til April 21st. After that, we plan to head to Park Sierra to move our stuff into our storage shed and participate in "Stagecoach Days" April-22 to April-25. We will probably stay 2 or 3 weeks , to get a feel for our new place, then head to Oregon for our summer jobs.
I like taking walks in the morning.usually 1 or 2 miles. I check the campgrounds,day use area, and the bike trail as I walk. It is a beautiful area to walk, no traffic, not crowded, and when the weather's good, It's Assume.
Last Saturday we watched our Grandson DJ while my daughter and her husband went out. The next day Jeni and my daughter went to the movies and left me to babysit DJ. What were they thinking! Me babysit!!! I got football to watch, and it's raining outside. Hey the little guy was a trooper. We bowled,played with "monster trucks",and drove the golf cart down to the day use area to check things out as DJ says. I didn't babysit him, he babysat me!
I think I will go to bed early tonight and dream of sunny warm places and swimming pools.Hopefully the sun returns here soon.
