Our great long-time friends, Dave and Wendy invited us out to their La Quinta desert retreat!
Their yard opens up to the golf course and mountains beyond.
There are mountain goats on those hills! Or maybe they're Big Horn Sheep!

They apparently like the tender green golf course grass, even if they have to cross Billy Goat Gruff's bridge to get to it.
That's the tee box behind these two. Occasionally we watched golfers waiting for the goats to clear out so they could tee off.
On Saturday we attended the Palm Desert Food and Wine Extravaganza!
Dozens of wineries and many restaurants, suppliers, and craftspeople were represented. Here Dave is trying to figure out where to go next.
We were intrigued by the many wineries located in the Lodi area! I guess they were not stuck there again.
Entry included a tasting glass and these handy neck slings for holding it!
Unfortunately, the wind picked up and nearly picked up the giant tents in which this event was being held. They shut it down mid-afternoon.
Luckily, Cactus Jacks Bar and Grill was within easy (sort-of) walking distance, so we took the opportunity to while away the rest of Saturday afternoon washing down our wine with gin (or vodka) and tonics.
And here is my new shirt to commemorate the occasion.
Sorry not to have more photos. We had a nice dinner at the golf club house bar and got soaked by the golf course sprinklers on the golf cart ride back to Dave and Wendy's place!
It was a great weekend except for the wind!
