     Happy Valentine's Day to all of our followers out there. And what a great day it is. Temps to about 90f and no humidity, yep that's good. A little cooler in the shade, just perfect.
      The usual early walkabouts 7am, is a good time perfect to wear shorts, today before it gets too warm. Then enjoy some reading outside in the shade and an early light lunch.
       The party is from 1pm till 3 pm and bring a dessert, Yikes! A dessert party in the desert.

we ready to party

       First live band was Pepe and Sue, they were excellent as were the 3-4 other bands as well. We had 3 hours of nonstop music, food and dancing.

        Then the desserts way to many choices, something we normally don't do. But no other choices. Glad we brought small plates had a few samples.

         Next group was accordions doing the umbrella dance was fun for all.

accordion music was wonderful

     Then these guys played some more awesome music CCR and the twist etc. got people up dancing even more.  We got up a couple times as well.

      The music went till 4 pm but our large group decided it was 3:45 time for our Happy hour, So back we went. Chat for a while discuss some plans and swap stories. Always fun times with these guys.
       Just before 5 we called it quits and home to fire up our Weber Q, before it gets too dark. Not really too hungry so tonight just a tasty salmon burger hit the spot.

nice light supper

       And just as the burgers were done we enjoyed another wonderful desert sunset.

           Now that was a wonderful Valentine's day for us here. Hope you enjoyed yours as well wherever you are.
          Thanks for stopping by again.
