Cholla Days & Cholla Nights with the Cousins

IMG_9777

Our first week in Cholla is coming to an end. It’s been the usual “where did the week go” kind of week with no real down time and packed with Hood fun.  No cabin fever here…! Weather has been great warming as the week progressed. Above, Phyllis, Stella, Neely, Cholla and I head out for the daily  golf cart ride on Blanca.

Phyllis be careful what you wish for!

Today’s ride turned out to be an extra special ride with us driving Blanca to the top of Sand Hill. Blanca did it again “chug chug” slowly pulling us up the steep sand hill. Other people riding the hill are always amazed a golf cart with two adults and three dogs can make the climb. Right, we stopped on the way down to get a picture with Sandy Beach and Rocky Point in the background.

    I need treatment too! Can you schedule me in for treatment next year? It’s St Pat’s day today …a perect time to surrender to treatment after wandering around wearing a huge green bow tie and singing crazy Irish bar songs.When can I schedule treatment?

    Customer testimonials speak for themselves (thanks Rex). You should join us and get away from Lacrosse. Just put in your request. We’d love to have you.
