The day was busy getting the laundry washed up & neighborhood newsletter written for us to leave on our trip to Escondido, CA on Friday afternoon. I also wanted to go to Weight Watchers meeting at 5:30. They started their new program and I needed to start again. After Thanksgiving I had gained 14 lbs from my low and wanted to get started on losing it before the Christmas pounds also crept on.
As I left to go to the meeting. A hot air balloon was flying over our house very low and looked like he was landing in the empty field to the north of us. Sure enough that is what he did.
I stopped and took these pictures. We see balloons occasionally but two in one day was unusual.
Also, here is my new weight watchers program. We will start it when we get back home. Time to lose those extra turkey lbs. Gobble Gobble!
FRIDAY, I had to finish the newsletter, run it off at the printers and get it distributed, iron and pack clothes, bath Abby and get her to the kennel before we left at noon for the airport. Don went over to the Quail Springs Baptist Church where we work out to get the gym floor marked off for the pickleball court. We are going to start playing there since the Sante Fe Courts told us we couldn't play there anymore because the tennis players thought we made too much noise.
I got it all done but not without Don's help in getting the newsletter distributed and taking Abby to the kennel.
Arrived in San Diego about 5:00 and was worried about the evening traffic because we had about 30 miles to drive to the Welk resort. It was already dark when we arrived but the traffic wasn't that bad (8 lanes) and we had no problems getting here.
We checked in and then drove back to Escondido and ate and got groceries. Home by 8:00 and in bed by 9:00. The time change kicked our butts.
SATURDAY, We were up by 5:00 am of course and went and worked out by 8:00. Did our hour cardio and walked around the grounds of the resort. Didn't take any pictures.
We decided to go into Escondido and get some lunch and then do some geocaching in the area. First we were going to drive north a couple of miles to see if we could find the pickleball courts that I had read about on the internet. When we arrived a lady was setting things up for their Christmas party. We talked to her and she invited us to come & play. We never made it to geocaching.
Went back to our room and changed clothes and had some soup. We were playing pickleball by 2:00 and played all afternoon. It gets dark by 4:30 and cools down fast. Meet a lot of good players but we were able to compete & have fun.
Thank goodness we are able to see the OU game here tonight. GO SOONERS!!!
