We said good-bye to Jack and Marlyne (Leduc,AB). We had breakfast at the resort (every Friday morning 8-9 am).We went swimming in the hot 80 Deg F weather. After the wine and cheese reception we went to the Friday night suffleboard tournament. Ralph got the most points and Marie got the booby prize.

April 10th
We went to the Winchester market and enjoyed a taco and churro for lunch. We bought some beef jerky. In the evening,we went to see the movie"Clash of the Titans" $7.00.

April 11th
Cooler today about 70 Deg. F. We left after 9 am to drive just under 2 hours south to Julian
(4000 feet up in the mountains). We drove through the hills,mountains and valleys on very winding roads-- very pretty countryside. Julian was first known for its gold during the California gold rush but it is now known for it's apple pies. It's a quaint town with alot of historic buildings.
We watched a gunfight skit and had delicious apple pie a la mode. After driving back a different way through Ramona and Escondido,we were back at GVP for supper.

April 12th
It rained heavy during the night and day. We went to the Hemet Mall to get my nails done and have a pedicure. Ralph got his hair cut. It is much cheaper in the USA than Canada.On the way home we stopped at Target.

April 13th
I had my hair cut, colored, and foiled. Ralph went to Walmart. We shopped at Sears too. Cooler but no rain today. Ralph hit some golf balls at the resort's putting green while I lounged around the pool and read.

April 14(Happy Birthday,Marie)
Thank you all for the phone calls and e-mail birthday wishes. We had lunch by the pool,listened to music and relaxed. We went to the Soboba Springs Golf Course for supper---beautiful golf course and facility. Afterwards we went to the Soboba Casino to try our luck at the slots. Ralph was the lucky one tonight.

April 15th
We said goodbye to Ron and Lois(Calgary). Our month was up today March 15th to April 15th,but we decided to stay another week. The resort had booked our site 629 out (200 Tiffin motor coaches are coming in Sunday to assigned spots). To accomadate us for the inconvenience of moving, the resort's management gave us a elite site 665 on the other side of the pool area at a extremely low rate $21.50 per day(normal rate $60-70 per day) It is a larger site with lots of flowering bushes and trees across from all the amenities. It is beautiful spot. We spent the day moving and relaxing by the pool.
