I've been gone from my blog for a while, but still here at home. Holidays were busy, but now it is January, 2011, and I'm trying to clear my mind. We are searching for a new vacation home in Palm Desert. For those who don't know where it is, it is a lovely community south of Palm Springs, CA. We plan to sell the home in the mountains, Lake Arrowhead, because we haven't been using it as much as we once did. So I am very excited to be looking at houses, and planning our semi retirement. Since it gets too hot in the desert in the summer, we will remain in our Marina condo, and use the desert home for part of the week, and probably seldom in the summer. I know this isn't of much interest to you, but it is uppermost on my mind this week and I thought I would share!
