Shortly after 11 am (12 0'clock California time) we arrived at Catalina Spa. Been here a few times and enjoy this resort. Picked our site got all set up and called fellow rv'ers. That we arranged to finally meet after a few years following each others blogs.

A phone call had them stopping by here for a short visit, and meet each other.
Rene and Jeanette. RvVoyageur. This blogging community is real amazing. They are from British Columbia Canada and we probably would not have met any other way than by our blogs.

Weber Q fired up to grill a couple bone in pork chops, acorn squash and grilled taters. Baked a few extra taters for home fried potatoes at a later date.

That is an awesome spot...and an awesome day you had! Those pork chops sure look yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy it here and more things to do too.
DeleteThere sure are a lot of bloggers out there. It seems you find a way to meet plenty on your travels. Joe and Betty are at your park and Rick and Paulette not far away. I'm sure you're going to be plenty busy.
ReplyDeleteYep we will be busy.
DeleteNice that you could meet Rene and Jeanette, your park looks great, could have used the pool today it 's mighty hot here in Yuma.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was refreshing with this hot weather.
DeleteGeorge, i must confess ìm not much of a cook. When you grill your taters or zucchini do you brush them with olive oil? They look so good. Thanks, Becki
ReplyDeleteYou can brush them and spice them with olive oil, I just put in a small plastic bag, with a bit of oil and and spice, shakem up all nicely coated.
DeleteGood to see you made it Desert Hot Springs and you were able to meet up with Rene' and Jeanette they sure are a super couple. Looks like a nice resort your staying at with the pools and walking trail. To top it off what good Weber Q weather you brought with you and as always dinner looked perfect. Have a great Friday! Enjoy that Pool!
ReplyDeleteThe whole day was perfect we sure enjoyed it.
DeleteBoy howdy, I were look'n at that map thingy ya got posted, an' you're camp'n just a short distance from where I lived in the early 50's. Twenty Nine Palms.
ReplyDeleteSure am glad you ain't been deal'n with cold weather like I am in south Texas.......Brrrrrrrrr. But we got some good weather forecast for the next week or so.
Yep we sure got lucky with the weather this winter, We have been to Twenty Nine Palms before too.
DeleteEnjoy your heat wave when it comes.
Do you keep a list of all the bloggers you meet? What a fun time. If that's another Lincoln Rhyme book it's gotta be good.
ReplyDeleteNo list yet, ben thinking about it.
DeleteIt must be a good book she can't put it down.
I like that walking path. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI made your scallop potato recipe last night. Paul and I loved it. How easy and no clean up. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the scalloped potatoes. I like easy, tasty and Suzie likes no cleanup.
DeleteHow great that you got to meet Rene & Jeanette ! I follow their Blog also but haven't met them 'in person' yet.
ReplyDeleteThey are such a super couple, hope you get to meet them.
DeleteYou got another great RV site. I also follow Jeanette and Rene's blog, nice for you all to meet.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to actually meet more bloggers in person.
DeleteWe always enjoy it here such a nice spot to spend a few days.
George and Suzie, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit at your site yesterday afternoon. We raved at the lovely RVing stories - and other banter on life and RV living. We'll get to meet again, no doubt, as we collectively traipse around these south west desert areas. Enjoy your time at Catalina and your next Desert Hot Springs RV site too. All the best. Happy reading, Suzie.
ReplyDeleteYes it was great finally meeting with you guys, seemed like such a short visit. Like you said no doubt we will meet again.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed that LA smog. You must be the only person on earth... :cD
ReplyDeleteDon't enjoy the smog just pointing it out, just happens to be in the area.
