A nice visit........

Our Location:  BLM Plomosa Road, Quartzsite, AZ


I think sleeping is becoming a habit with me and I’m very glad to say so. I’m enjoying the nights of uninterrupted sleep and feeling much more like myself in the mornings than I have of late. A good start to the day for sure.

 

The mountains off to the west bathed in the morning sunlight.

 

We were up and at ‘em this morning before 8 AM, enjoying a leisurely morning before our expected company arrived. We puttered around doing a bit of tidying up and the usual morning stuff. I started to read blogs and answer comments when my computer cord decided it was tired and wanted to permanently retire. So I couldn’t charge my laptop and had to stop doing my regular morning reading. I knew I had another cord but I couldn’t remember where it was and so I hunted and hunted in the spots I was certain I would find it. Can you guess? I didn’t find it. However Riley offered up a suggestion and wouldn’t you know it, there it was. So I’ve dodged the bullet with that good find and can finish what I started this morning and not have to worry about getting a cord quickly as this one will work until I can pick one up at my leisure. Otherwise I wouldn't have been blogging until I picked up a new cord.
 

The crags and creases in the mountains are deepened by the sun's shading. Always a changing view.

 

Knowing our visitors would be arriving mid morning we were outside enjoying the sun when we spotted a plume of dust coming our way, and sure enough before long a once nice black jeep, now a lovely desert dust colour, turned in to our spot and out popped Tom and Deb (Celebrating the Dance). We plopped ourselves down in the sun/shade and just started chatting. Before we knew it the time had flown by and it was middle afternoon before we said our goodbyes and watched them drive off. Our paths have crossed slightly a couple of times in the past and we've had a couple of ten minute 'hi, how are you?' type of interludes but today we actually managed to sit down and visit. Riley and I truly enjoyed our time with this wonderful couple, we laughed, we shared, and from our view we just had a really great visit. Riley and I are looking forward to crossing paths with them many times again in the years ahead. Thanks for the wonderful visit folks!!!! 

The handsome fella in the middle is Tom, with the pretty young Riley on the left and the beautiful Deb D on the right.

 

After that it was time to cook some lunch and pack up the outside yard in preparation for tomorrow’s move. The sun was warm today and we enjoyed moving into the shade once all of that was finished. Our thermometer was well into the middle 80’s  which would be about 28-29C for part of the afternoon. As a typical desert day as soon as the sun is down the air cools off and a bit of a breeze is kicking up, just enough to ruffle the leaves on the mesquite bush.  

The distant mountains once again in the sun while the mountains in the foreground are in the shade.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.

 

That was it for the sunset tonight. Too many dark clouds to hide the palette tonight.

 

Until next time… take care, be safe,

Our last day here in Crosbyton.....

Our Location:Crosbyton City Park, Crosbyton, Texas

 

A beautiful day today. Started off a bit chilly but warmed up nicely as long as you were bundled up and out of the wind. A quiet last day here at the park. We walked for a while this morning around the walking path. Came back inside to warm up.

 

I went back and snapped some more photos of the face in the tree.

 

We had Shepherd's Pie and a garden salad for lunch today before we headed outside to do some chores. Dump the tanks, disconnect the water, etc in preparation for departure tomorrow.  We also managed to put one of the cubbies back in order while putting away some hoses. It was a bit cool as it was out of the sun but still a hint of a cold north wind. 

 

Seen across the roadway from the walking path.

 

Another walk after putting everything away before we headed back inside to warm up again. We spent the rest of the day reading and watching a movie. We are rested from our long drives since leaving the park in Tennessee and are looking forward to moving on tomorrow. 

 

Some more interesting sights while walking around the walking path.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your day as well, where ever you may be. 

 

Until next time... take care, be safe,
