Christmas Eve Weather Photo From The Desert
The Los Angeles area got hammered with some unusually heavy rain this past week. Here in the desert we experienced light rain on and off Tuesday and then a decent amount of rain on Wednesday. We then woke up to sunny skies again on Thursday with snow up high in our local mountains. Looks like 70º F (21.1º C) today and a little warmer at 72º on Christmas Day.
My husband Bill took this photo from our neighborhood this morning where we just purchased a bank owned home that was a great opportunity.
70ºF and sunny on Christmas Eve in the desert!
I’ve been telling people it is a great time to buy here in the desert and we have invested in a great real estate opportunity ourselves!
This view is looking west towards the Santa Rosa Mountains in the foreground with the larger snow covered Mt. San Jacinto in the background.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays,
Sheri
Happy New Year From The Desert!
Based on the number of holiday visitors in the desert these past two weeks it looks like 2011 will continue to be very busy, right where 2010 left off.
2010 was another record sales year for Sheri Dettman & Associates as buyers continued to take advantage of some great real estate opportunities here in the Palm Springs area.
As the year 2010 comes to a close may I take a moment to wish you and yours a very prosperous and healthy New Year!
Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any of your real estate needs – even a simple real estate question.
Happy New Year!

Dining Around The Desert: Lavender Bistro, La Quinta
by Sheri Dettman
Over the last two years, my husband Bill and I have dined at Lavender Bistro on a regular basis. With all the positive feedback from our clients and friends, we thought we’d review it this time around, as well, since it’s one of our local favorites.
An Old-Town La Quinta Favorite
Lavender Bistro is a Mediterranean-style restaurant that opened in late ‘08 in Old Town La Quinta in the former space of Blend Restaurant. Lavender Bistro is owned by Nicolas Despras, a young man who has learned the trade by working closely with his father, Michel Despras, owner of Le St. Germain Restaurant in Indian Wells.
Bill enjoys the pork chop, which is one of Lavender’s house specialties. I lean towards the bar ‘small bites’ menu and usually rotate between the Tuna Tacos and the Roasted Beet Salad. From time to time I indulge in one of Lavender’s excellent seafood or pasta dishes.
Extensive Patio Dining Available
Lavender’s extensive patio dining area is hard to beat on warm desert evenings. Tuesday nights feature is half-price wine by the bottle. The Lavender bar menu includes a wide variety of appetizers for around $8. Dress is casual and live piano music is offered on weekends.
Although the Lavender is not easy to find for those not familiar with Old Town La Quinta, it is certainly worth a visit. It is located at 78073 Calle Barcelona, just down the street from Arnold Palmer's restaurant and, just across from the Homestead Restaurant. (760) 564-5353.
