We had a powerful windstorm come through the area Tuesday afternoon with sustained winds at 50+ mph that lasted about 12 hours and made a mess of the pool, yard and the golf course. I emailed Hope and she got the landscapers out on Wed. To pick up the depris and rake the beds and the pool guy is scheduled to come this morning.
Wed was moving day, Rick took off for Florence around 7:00 am. Chris & I had breakfast with Carole & Jeff, then we came back to the house, did some cleaning and got Chris packed. We stopped by the Springs to say goodbye to our friends then we worked our way to Palm Springs airport.
I have been looking to buy another lab puppy, a companion for Carter and because Carter is such a good dog, I'm hoping he will act as a teacher for the new pup. I found a lab breeder with a long lineage of raising champion English Labordors in a small town, 30 miles west of Palm Spring called Cherry Valley. I'm not concerned about getting a show dog but it's such a huge personal investment (time, money and love), I want the healthiest dog I can afford. So after dropping Chris off at the airport, I went to visit the pups. Of course I fell in love with them and I found our "Riley". I'll pick up Riley on Monday morning on my way home. That should be quite an adventure! Pictures to follow...
Today we are playing golf at DeAnza Country Club, It's the course our rental house is located on and I'm excited to finally play it. There will still be a lot of debris on the course but the groundskeeping staff has been working hard to clean things up. Might be my last day of golf, I plan to go back to Palm Springs tomorrow to buy necessary supplies for Riley, Saturday I plan to visit potential future vacation rentals in the area. I love this house but it is not pet friendly and I may want to bring the boys with me next time.
