Cancer sucks!

Along the Way

drive through the desert

Duet

Dress rehearsal for the upcoming Easter choir cantata.

Beach Walk

a bit of Vitamin Sea never hurt

Listen

That's the sound of woes departed, let them go.

Sanderlings

At first, I thought they were sandpipers, my favorite, because they seemed to have similar behaviors. Turns out, when we got closer, we could see that they're bigger in size.

Wednesday Treasures

Good day at the beach! What happens when everyone clears out of the campground, great finds.

Flowers Flowers and More Flowers

Stimulus overload, but oh so beautiful. Ranunculus flowers plus a whole lot more. Glad we finally got to come!

The Flower Fields, Carlsbad, California

Vacay Rules

G'mornin'

Just think, the zest is yet to come.

Nostalgia

We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.

Baby Buds

It Sprung!

The beautiful spring came, and when nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also. ~Harriet Ann Jacobs

 

btw, although all were a bit deformed, that bundle of asparagus from the Farmer's Market was one of the tastiest ever.. and my tummy didn't even care that the shape was off!

Lemons

Big bowl of home-grown vitamin C from our friends. It's not what you know, it's who you know. =)

All Fixed Up

a little soldering and, wah lah, good as new!

Upholstery Story

Bad things happen when you're not lookin! Mice up north had chewed big holes in the backs of the RZR seats (shown all fixed). Hindsight, curious Blaze did try to warn us! Nice, Enrique to the rescue. He reupholstered them for only $80, big tip included.. wow, he did such an awesome job.

Gotta Love Algodones

Need Glasses

Optical.. one of many

Brick and Mortar

Good Eats, We Paid

"If you don't like the food, you don't pay." Besides offerings of mucho dental, skincare, liposuction and optical clinics to name a few, itty bitty Los Algodones, Mexico has great food as well.

Mornings

Do you ever wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, shake your head and think.. 

"Nah, that can't be accurate!" 

Cross Stitch

Finally framed it.. planning to hang it in the 'loge' of our party room along with a framed picture of a Loge Street sign from Norway, won't that be awesome? I'll show you a picture when I'm done.

You Had Me at..

Burritos! Yes, please!

Trading Post

been by it a thousand times, finally decided to stop to check it out..

Riding High

Top of the world (our name for it). So much fun. There's a real nice view of Yuma way down there. We've learned, always go out in twos or more in case someone breaks down or something (usually us lol), besides it's way more fun that way. Never seen any rattlesnakes here in Arizona.. never, not yet anyway. Gonna be hot today, 90s. Yay for AC.

Turtle Figurine

My turtle seems totally enamored with all the bright lights!

Spyder

Not Here Though

Sunny and warm here, 80 today, 50 tonight with zero chance of rain or snow.. ever!!! Highly recommend going SOUTH in the winter. =)

Diet That Works

We are 2 for 2 in our family. If you eat a chocolate-covered, Bavarian-filled doughnut for an evening snack, in the morning when you step on the scale, your weight will be down. Try it! =)

Guess I'm the Black Jeep of the Family

Not Just Pets

Out riding in the desert today, we found the pet cemetery. Looks like there have been some changes since last time we were here, humans now are also represented.

Meyers Lemon

It is good to let a little sunshine in as well as out or is it better the other way around.. either way.

Super big, juicy and sweet, over 3" diameter lemons picked straight from the tree. Nothing better! Love to cut them in half, squeeze into my water jug and enjoy all day long. Every day is the best day ever.

Te Amo

and also Tea Amo with a little French Vanilla! Happy Valentine's Day!
