A cloudy day, a bit of shopping, and no sunset....

Our Location: Quartzsite, Arizona

Today's pics are totally 100% this morning's sunrise.

It's started.....

I woke this morning about 4:30 am, played a few rounds of CrossyWords on my iPad before drifting back to sleep until 7 am. I think I snored and woke myself up, either that HRH Miss Kitty was hacking up a fur ball. I’ve yet to determine which one it was.

I grabbed my fleece jacket, mini gloves and the camera heading outside to catch the sunrise. I even caught the moon before it slipped out of the sky. The sun rise was once again a thing of beauty. I never did actually see the sun, as the cloud cover prevented that but the sky was telling me that the sun was there with no doubts. 

Back inside about 7:35 am I started getting myself settled down to read blogs from yesterday. Of course HRH Miss Kitty demanded food before I dare sit on the couch. I will admit she had only one or two morsels of food left in her bowl but somehow I doubt she’s in danger of starving. 

Do you think they might be beaming folks up?

 
The morning temps upon returning inside read 44F/ 6.6 C and while it was a bit chilly outside it wasn’t cold. A slight breeze made you know it could be crisp if it wanted to be.

A huge thanks to Bill Richards (On Our Way) for his offer of assistance and generous advice regarding my little water pump issue. I appreciate it very much Bill but I’m truly not too worried about it. You are truly a gem, as Miss Patsy alludes to often.

This morning after Riley staggered out about 8:30 am we enjoyed a hot drink and chatted about what we had to get accomplished today and what we’d like to do but that wasn’t necessary. By 10 am we started loading the truck with a large propane tank, smaller water jugs, two drinking water jugs, and a bag of garbage. We were soon off, our first stop to fill up the small jugs, and get rid of the garbage. After that we headed into town to RV Pit Stop where we payed $2.10 per gallon for our propane, from there we headed off to The General Store (I think is the name) to fill up our drinking water jugs at 5 gallons for $1, what a good buy. After that we headed on back home to get these things put away before we went off to do some looking around at a few of the vendors we noticed along our way into town. 

 
We managed to find 2 BBQ Grill mats that George Yates (Our Awesome Travels) has been using for some time and he says works fantastically. We bought the same ones George showed us some time ago. We paid only $5 for two. I also bought a half dozen extra fuses even though I have a lot of spares already. We didn’t buy anything else but we enjoyed looking at some of the little exhibits. 

Leaving the area we bought ourselves that ice cream we didn’t get yesterday. Although it claimed to be home made I don’t think it was, didn’t have the right flavour to me, but oh well, we enjoyed it anyway. 

Back home we discussed that due to the over cast day and the wind which seemed to be picking up that Miss Riley (who has offered to be chef for a while) would make a ONE DISH meal inside. Totally suited me. I of course, made our salads while she prepped everything for the one dish meal. She included sweet onions, asparagus, fresh mushrooms, carrots, cauliflower, sweet Italian Sausage (out of the casing), diced tomatoes, a few spices and some Parm cheese. Tossed it in the oven for a bit and it was excellent. It really hit the spot. 

After lunch which we didn’t finished until almost 4:30 pm we cleaned up the dishes and tidied up a bit. I grabbed my fleece sweater and the camera but there was no sunset tonight at all. Too much cloud cover but the temps weren’t really cold, just a bit coolish.

Inside I wrote my post, and edited pictures, while Riley did what ever it is she does that causes her to chuckle and talk to whoever it is that doesn’t answer her. I think she’s playing a game but since she wears headphones she doesn’t answer when I talk to her. So I guess we’ll never know. 

So there you have it, our busy type day. Nothing too exciting but we enjoyed it a great deal. We are totally enjoying this location, today we had one vehicle go past along with 2 ATV’s. It’s a fantastic location and we’re enjoying it very much.

And this was going on opposite the sunrise....see the moon?

Thanks for stopping by, hope you had a great day as well. Feel free to leave a comment, I do appreciate them all.

Good morning from Quartzsite, Arizona.
