Playing with the cat has its consequences

We play this game with our cat Roma where we put her on the washing machine to give her medication.  After we give her medication we let her jump on Vince's back and he gives her an elephant ride on his back in to the bedroom.  She loves it and is only focused on jumping on his back when we give her her meds so it takes it off her mind that we're shoving liquid down her throat.

Well...the whole jumping thing went horribly wrong the other day.  Vince bent over but was too far away.  Roma tried to jump but slipped and this happened...

The next day I told him that he needed a better story.  Since we're in the middle of the corona virus and supplies are short I thought this was a better story.  He got in a fight over toilet paper!!!!  Ha ha, so not Vince, he would give the damn toilet paper to a stranger, but it makes a funny photo :)

Rancho Mirage for a quick get-away

It's amazing how a quick trip out of town can renew the spirit.  We escaped to Rancho Mirage for an overnight stay and went on a special House Tour of Sunnylands.  Can I just live there please?


 The first thing we did (after lunch) was go to the Palm Desert Museum where they had a very emotional photo exhibit about racism in America.  Oh boy, kind of sad so I really enjoyed our walk in the museum gardens afterwards.


Vince pondering what we just saw...

We checked in to the Omni Rancho Las Palmas.  A nice golf resort.  This was the view from our room.
 We had dinner across the street at Acqua at Riverwalk. I thought about my friend Steve who works for Cinemark.
 Dinner was yummy.
Sunset was beautiful.

 The next day we had breakfast (Blue Ember, delish) and then shopped in the Paseo for a short time before going to our tour of the Sunnylands Home.  I want to live there!  You couldn't take photos inside of the house but the garden was very photographic.

 Welcome to our desert hide-away!
