B&W Cabana jacket with mixed B&W top stitching
Comments (39)I made the jacket extra large so that there is room for air to circulate between the jacket and the body, and so this helps, but the terry cloth is warmer than necessary in the desert. It was 115° here yesterday, but we waited until after 6PM to go in the pool so that it would be in the shade, and the temperature was below 110. The water in the pool yesterday was 92°, which is a bit tepid but still okay for swimming or floating. I do plan to make several jackets of different weights, but I will have to get fabric for them, and that might take a while. The next fabric I want takes a couple of months to get because it is printed to order. As for UV protection, we stay out of the sun in the summer and in the winter we wear sunscreen. December is the coldest month in Palm Springs, but still most of the days reach 70° or above. I heat the pool to 85-87° in the winter, and so it feels comfortable even if the air temperature is 70, but it does feel cold when we get out. On those days, I wear a full length terry cloth robe. The jackets will be good only for warmer days. We do not have a pool in Los Angeles, as we are close to the beach, which makes the weather much cooler in the summer (usually mid 70s), and we have wetsuits to wear if we go in the ocean. I'll look into a different fabric (other than terry cloth) for lining, but I don't think I have enough white cotton right now for that. I do have a shirt that I sometimes wear - Kevin might have one also, but he has been wearing a long Turkish cotton robe this week....See MoreAir b&b gift card?
Comments (2)I think it's a great idea. And more flexible than one from a particular brand. But better than saying "here's money for a vaca" because this forces the issue. I'm fully confident Air BnB, with almost no fixed costs, is one of the few you can say definitely survives. I also have good things to say about the co. and their customer service....See MoreWhat is the difference between CMG656BB6B and CMA585GS0B

Comments (8)The last time we stayed in Joshua Tree, we rented the Donovan Suite at The Joshua Tree Inn, and that was a couple of years before we bought our house in Cathedral City, which is a reasonably short drive from Joshua Tree. I think the Donovan Suite cost $180 a night back then, but I'm not really sure - it might have been over $200. Kevin and I had separate bedrooms, and there was also a kitchen and a private patio, and so it was worth the price. This hotel is at the edge of town, and so we had to drive to the nearest restaurant downtown. We've decided not to drive to the free museum, but there is the Desert Arts Festival in Rancho Mirage this week-end that we might go to. Since it is at a mall, admission is free. I'll have to make a point of going to the farmers' market there next Friday. We missed the tamale festival in Indio last December, but I think we decided not to go, even though we were in the area. We can make it next time, perhaps....See MoreFlo Mangan
