Provisioning.....

 7:15 am - Thursday - February 15th - GNHS - 46° F, humidity 87%, wind 3 mph out of the southeast....partially cloudy skies today with a forecast high of 68° F.  On this date in 2010 TLE and I camped at Rancho Jurupa Regional Park for the first time.....almost one year later to the day we leased out our home, and became camp hosts there for one year, beginning our full time life living and traveling in our 1982 Newell Classic.....

Another day off work, what to do?  Oh yeah, need to do our weekly shopping in La Quinta!  As soon as I finished posting my latest missive around 9:30 am we were in the VW headed into the heart of the Coachella Valley arriving there without incident around 10:30 am.  We made stops at Walmart, COSTCO, the COSTCO fuel station, and Ralph's garnering another week's worth of produce, protein, and sundries to reprovision our pantry, and fridge before beginning the return trip to GNHS around 12:30 pm.  We were home before 1:30 pm, and putting away our purchases. The drive in revealed a lot of snow on Mounts San Jacinto and San Gorgonio.....

.....by the way, our geraniums are flourishing here at GNHS.....

....you might recall that when we first arrived back at LPG&RVR last April they got frost bitten and almost died, but TLE has nursed them back to health.

Due to our early departure for La Quinta we postponed our daily walking until 4 pm when we took a 2 mile out and back walk averaging around 3.3 mph.  By 4:50 pm I was on the 'viewing deck' watching the Chocolates light up, and the sun set.  TLE was busy, at the time,  marinating a salmon filet we had purchased at COSTCO so we could grill it for dinner.....

.....I grilled the salmon for about 10 minutes until it reached 145° F, and it turned out great!

Thanks for stopping by!
