My friend Peggy Price and a friend of hers, Mark, came over to Palm Springs Friday afternoon for the weekend. Mark has a timeshare condo so we went over and had taco salad with them Friday night. Peggy and I decided we needed a "coffee" so we headed over to one of the casinos, Fantasy Springs, as they have a starbucks in it and it's only a mile from the condo! Peggy and I did a little gambling, but again, no luck :(
On Saturday we were going to the Flying J for sweet cream pancakes and if you could believe it, this flying J doesn't have a restaurant. We were all bummed. We had told Mark how good they are and we couldn't back it up! We went to another casino across the street, Aqua Caliente, and had breakfast, checked out the gift shop, but no gambling! After breakfast, we headed back to our homes and rested up to go out for dinner!
Peggy's birthday is February 21st and we had eaten at Melvyns here in Palm Springs before. We thought it would be a nice restaurant to celebrate her upcoming birthday. It is a very old hotel but still pretty elegant. They have really good food and excellent service. I had Saffron Shrimp, with salad, sweet squash, pea pods, asparagus and wild rice. My dinner was great. Ted had Filet Mignon and Peg and Mark had Veal Oscar with crabmeat. They brought Peg a Flan for a birthday dessert! Everyone enjoyed their dinner.
Today Peg and Mark packed up and headed to our place in the afternoon to watch the Superbowl. I actually made Peggy a birthday cake, granted I used a box mix and canned frosting, but she was still impressed! We had put up signs all over the RV for her 60th birthday, a necklace with 60's on it, 60 sucks suckers, a spring loaded bra to hold up her tata's and a couple of nice presents too! I know there will be a payback for the 60's presents!
A good Superbowl game, lots of munchies and good friends..."Ain't Life Grand!"
