2010

Welcome to 2010. I remember the talented and very funny entertainer - Dean Martin - who always said that he felt sorry for the people who didn’t drink because when they got up in the morning they knew that that was the best they were going to feel.

I started off 2010 with a wicked case of food poisoning and on this date, January 6, 2010, I am finally feeling much better.  Woke up this morning feeling hungry and looking forward to my first cup of coffee in almost a week. A taste of Hazelnut and it was delish. 

2010 can only get better from here on out.

When I realized, on New Year’s day that I wasn’t up to snuff and got worse as the day went on I decided to stay in this campground for another week and called the office to arrange it. I didn’t want to be on the road feeling the way I did NOR did I want to be in a campground without knowing someone should things get worse and, of course, they did.  Thankfully I have friends in this campground who picked up a few necessary supplies like Gatorade and who checked on my from time to time every day.  Thank you to all. I don’t know what I would have done without you.

My extra week is almost up.  I’ll be moving out of my spot on Saturday morning and heading to a craft show here in the campground and then hitting the road for Indio/Palm Springs area, Quartzsite and Yuma, Arizona, El Centro, Oceanside (where my sister lives) and Sunland, California (where my nephew and family live) and by that time it’ll be early March and I’m due back in Canada March 15th. Another winter in the sunshine.

I have decided to forgo Fountain of Youth Campground at Salton Sea, California.  Too far out of the way and way to expensive ($230.00 per week).

Until my next post from someplace down the road - Happy 2010.    Joei
