An Old One Ends, and A New One Begins…

I’m always filled with a sense of renewed anticipation when a New Year rolls around. I wonder what will unfold in my life this year? One thing I’ve learned is that I don’t need to make too many plans about it.  John Lennon pretty much nailed it when he said,  "Life is what happens [...]

Just a Normal? Day

We were in our Christmas let-down mode today – and I suppose we were pretty boring. But we had fun. We got up this morning and decided we’d better take care of some business.
We took our Christmas lights off the outside of the motor home, and then left for the big city to run errands [...]

Storm Passing Over

Out here where we are wintering in the Arizona desert, the land is fairly flat. Way out in the distance, you can just barely make out the hills. They have the most amazing sunsets here. And we see the most beautiful blue sky – everyday – unbroken only by the tops of the giant Saguartos. [...]

Wishing at Christmas Time

I feel very fortunate to be able to travel, and to be here in Arizona, in the desert I fell in love with. But there is a part of me that misses Christmas at home…Christmas with family and friends.
It’s been a few years since our whole family was together at Christmas time. Although Scott and [...]

The Day Before the Night Before Christmas

We’re ready for Christmas, here in our RV!
I’m starting to feel a little guilty every day when I talk to my sister, Caryl, and to Cindra. They are shopping, wrapping, stirring fudge, hanging stockings – and they tell me all these things they have left to do yet, before Christmas day.
These last three years [...]

We’re ALL Groomed and Fluffy!

Due to the fact that Miss Kitty isn’t running outside now, and the scratching board she has here in the RV isn’t strong enough to wear her nails down, she began ‘catching’ on everything she walked on.
Yesterday I took her into the vet’s office to have her nails clipped. There were two girls behind [...]

Curses! I must be getting old!

    %&#@!            %&#@!                  %&#@!
Hmmm, I’m wondering what’s up with the cursing and/or ‘delicate’ subject matter in the blogosphere? Or is it just me? I decided to go visit some different blogs than the ones I normally read – and what an eye opener!
Now, I don’t think [...]

MORE Seed Packets!

Oh, I’m on a role now (you know… that OCD thing), I’ve made more seed packets! I love them. I’ll be keeping them!
I used this site, and this one, to download the basics. I’m sure there are others, I may look when I’m tired of these. I printed them on 100 lb. [...]

Two Months into Winter Trip

Wlell, it’s been two months now. Two adults (questionable) and one cat, inhabiting an 8 foot by 32 foot area. And we’re still alive. And speaking. Most of the time. Good thing, as we have four more months to go. Actually, T and I do well in small areas. Both raised in smaller homes – [...]

Dates from Dateland

We took a day trip to Dateland, Arizona (68 miles East of Yuma) to get some Medjool Dates to send to my girlfriend for Christmas.  She’s the only one who loves them like we do. Aren’t the date palms beautiful?

Medjool dates are the oldest known cultivated fruit. They are very soft and sweet. And are [...]
