We got into our campsite last Wednesday after leaving the Fountain of Youth and feeling at least two days younger! But I started coughing, then ran a fever then coughed lots more, then got a runny nose - Yes, I came down with the flu despite having gotten my flu shot this fall. At one point I was afraid I had bronchitis so we went to urgent care but it is just the flu. It has taken about 5 days for me to start feeling better.
Poor John has had to doctor me and then take off for some excercise all by himself. He put over 30 miles on his bicycle and hiked up into the mountains one afternoon alone. It has been quite warm in the valley which makes for pleasant sun bathing by the RV. I had explicit instructions to stay in the RV or just outside the door while John was gone. He even pampered me with pizza one night.
Since I was feeling better on Saturday, we were able to have a nice dinner with our friends who are staying here for a couple of months to escape the cold. Sunday, after I went to church, we drove up to Idyllwild, a small mountain artists community about a 2 hours drive from here. It was a very pleasant afternoon with spectacular views along the route. The center of the town features a Gorilla Glue sponsored sculpture where the artist glued 4 spruce tree trunks together and then carved a bear, mountain lion, eagle etc. sculpter. It’s quite lifelike.
Today, however we are suffering through a windy day. Having left the windows cracked in the RV this afternoon, every surface inside is now covered in a very fine, powdery dust! I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow!
