Hemet, CA - Day 15

Day 15 – January 20, 2010
We’ve been in Hemet for a week now. Haven’t really done much since we got here, but have been able to spend quite a lot of time with family (that's why we're here). The first night here we had dinner with Wanda’s sister, brother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Chad, Wanda’s youngest son, is working two jobs, so we spent Saturday with Melissa and the kids watching football ("Who Dat, Saints"Yea !; AND Jets over the Chargers WhooYea!). Wanda was able to get the laundry done that day, as Melissa graciously offered the use of her washer and dryer. Melissa and Chad prepared a wonderful steak dinner for us that night.
Sunday the 17th, it started raining and hasn't stopped yet. We attended the 9:30 a.m. services at Crossroad Christian Center in Banning. This is where our nephew and niece attend. We were joined by our sister and brother-in-law. Following church services, the six of us had lunch at Chili’s, then we headed back to Hemet. Wanda spent the afternoon with Chad doing some shopping at Best Buy, and seeing the movie, Sherlock Holmes, which was way too long and really not a very good movie. Certainly would not recommend it as one to see. In fact, would discourage it. Was thankful she did not have to pay full price. J.W. stayed at the RV Park watching football and napping. Melissa and the kids spent the day with her dad and sister.
We finally made it too Walmart on Monday to buy groceries. That evening Wanda fixed pepper steak at Chad and Melissa’s and we stayed at the house with the two younger kids while Chad took Eric back to his dad and Melissa had coffee with a friend. Tuesday night we had Spaghetti with the kids and played Buzz on the Play Station 3. Needless to say, we were not the winners, but we did have fun. Our grandchildren are quite competitive and really not very good losers. However, that is something you have to get used to if you play games with Chad. Things have not changed over the years. He is consistent in winning. We had a wonderful time.
Today we went to Banning to watch $2.50 movies at the Fox Theater. Bill and Jim saw The Book of Eli and Wanda and Deanie went to It’s Complicated. Both were very good movies. Both of these we would go see again. The rest of the day was spent back at the RV Park watching TV and fleshing out.
We came to California for warmer sunny weather. It has rained the past three days and they’re forecasting rain for the next three days. The weather is not exactly warm (50's-60's), but it is above freezing. We have a terrific view of Big Bear Mtn. from our motorhome and we watch the snow continue to get deeper on the Mtn. every day. (We are glad it's up there and not down here).That's it for this update, check back with us in a few days as we continue our journey to and from California.
