Sunday 4~~~~~This morning we went to Mass in Palm Springs, when we walked up to the church, we could smell the aroma of Mexican food being cooked in the front of the church. What a delight to find it all cooked and set up when Mass was over, with people selling tickets to use at the different tables of food they cooked. Kent had a couple of tacos and I had a taco and a tamale. They had a table with a kettle of beans cooked and several sauces, and toppings for the taco's plus a lot of other Mexican foods to choose from, it was a real neat thing for us to experience on Easter Sunday so far from home. We had no kids to hurry home to and no Easter Bunny at our house with eggs to hunt for, so we took our time with the festivities. (picture) Later this afternoon we went over to have dinner with our friends Bonnie and Ruebe Heckenlible who are here visiting their daughter who lives here while Ruebe is visiting his Doctor out here. Their son and family from Port Angeles, Washington are also here and today was also Brians's birthday and there were a lot of friends there celebrating the day with them also. This is the family who has the parrot that loves Kent and who bites (draws blood) on the rest of us. (picture) We played several games of Beer pong (pictures) and another game of two teams on each side of the table; it was a race to see who could drink their beer in the cup and then flip the cup upside down on the table before the next person in their line could drink and flip theirs. I had a little trouble with my first round, but I nailed it real fast on the second try. (pictures) Kent and Ruebe had fun with this game also, we finished up the day with a dice game that was a lot of fun. You start with $3 and it keeps going around the table until all the dollars are in the pot and one person has one left. (pictures) It was another beautiful warm Sunny California day and we sure had fun with our friends.
