Friends leave today......

 

Our Location: 

North of MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California

 

A very warm night, excellent temperatures had me getting up to close to 60F/16C around the hour of  7 am MST. The day topped out at about 82F/28C with a good breeze and so things stayed a very nice temperature. 

 

The blooms weren't open when I was out walking this morning.

Lots of possibilities here.

 

Our friends Deb & Tom at  Celebrating the Dance  left this morning around 10 am. Bittersweet was the parting but we are always left with the hope of seeing them again before heading off for the summer. The Stinger B's horn sounded as arms waved and with the Little Black Limo rolling faithfully behind they headed off on the next leg of their adventure. Safe travels friends!!! 

 

Hooked up and read to roll.

The wheels are rolling and they're off.

 

The rest of the day was spent just resting and I even had a bit of a nap. I chatted with my dad for about a half hour tonight. Baby news from nephew Jesse and wife Claudia. Hali Margaret Lestie  (Margaret after Claudia's grandmother and Lestie after Jesse's grandmother who was my mother ) arrived safe and sound, weighing in at 7lbs 14 ozs. She's a cutie!! Congrats again to all. 

 

 

One of the baskets we bought in Mexico.

Two fit nicely in this space.

 

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

 

Until next time...

 

Take care, stay safe,

More friends leave today....

 

Our Location: 

Ocotillo Wells BLM, Salton Sea, California

 

A rough night sleep wise for me, it was elusive but the sun still rose and the day moved forward. This morning just before 9 MST Riley and I climbed into the Dogsled and headed up the hill to say our 'see you soons' to Deb and Tom (Celebrating the Dance ) as they headed out today. They have things to do and so off they went. We will see them again soon, we have some jello plans in the works. 

 

 

And they are off.

 

After waving good bye and Tom letting the air horn go for a time or two, we climbed into the Dogsled and ventured into Borrego Springs. I'll post a few of those photos tomorrow. I will say though, the stage coach is missing from the circle. Very empty without it. 

 

We found the market, got a few things, including drinking water and soon we were off home again. That was our big excitement for the day and the remainder of the day was spent doing little. We have tentative plans to meet with Janet on Friday for a visit but we shall see how that works out. 

 

 

Most of today's photos are of Font's Point which we visited yesterday with Deb & Tom. An awesome view. 

 

 

My sister in law Barb should be returning from the DR today, we hope all is well and they had a great time. I hope to chat with her in a couple of days. It seems I'm chatting with my dad nightly so I won't be adding that into the posts. Although in years to come when I read these it's nice to know whom I've chatted with. A missed note, cousin Craig celebrated a birthday a couple of days ago. We hope he had a fantastic day. 

 

I'm sorry if some photos are duplicates, I had a lot of trouble with tonight's photos.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you all enjoyed your visits.  

Until next time.....

 

Take care, stay safe,

 

Deb
