Although the locals consider the weather of the last two days cool and windy, we consider it lovely! Today, the weather is supposed to be going back to 'normal' and by the weekend, slightly above normal, in the mid 90's or so. 'Mature Spring' they are calling it!
Meanwhile, we've been enjoying the hot tub and the pool that is nearest to our 'villa'. (There are 9 pools and hot tubs in this complex.)
We have wandered to downtown Palm Springs, and driven out to Indian Wells to look at golf attire. We've eaten meals at a couple of places we know well from the past, both of them chains but ones that are not in our home area. (Ruby's Diner and Marie Callendars).
The night of our second day we got some rather astonishing news from home. Mary's four month old granddaughter Mya has been quarantined, and cannot leave her home until cleared to do so on April 17th. This is quite a dilemma for a single mother, but she's managing it.
The problem is exposure to measles at the daycare she had just started being cared for in a week before. Her older brother also goes to this daycare, but he has had all his vaccines, so he is not considered at risk.
The child who came down with the measles was 23 months old, and should have had his first vaccine around 1 year of age. These shots are not given to children under 1 year, so that is why Mya had to be quarantined, along with all the other children under one year at not only this daycare, but the other one this child attended that was part of an exercise/workout facility.
The 23 month old was actually hospitalized, and this whole story has been a big item in the news. The Health Department checks on how Mya is doing every day. So far, she is okay, and we are praying that state will continue!
Anyway, back in Palm Springs... not sure what we will do today. Probably just enjoy the lovely views and weather!
