A quiet day in Los Algodones, Mexico. Lunch, a couple of adult beverages and a little shopping. No lines anywhere and we liked that. So I will let the pics do the story telling today.

A very nice coffee time this morning with Deb, Tom ( Celebrating the Dance ), Doug ( Miss Adventure Travels ), Riley, Jim, Barb ( Jim and Barb's Adventure ) and myself. More laughter, some excellent conversation and a fantastic weather day as well. Too soon our new friends were heading out to places they needed to be. It was nice to meet them and we hope to catch up with them again before the season is over and they head home.
The rest of the day was spent quietly visiting, resting, and doing a few things. The weather was very warm and with very little or no wind the sun warmed things very well. A beautiful day!! As promised, I have included a few photos from the Arizona Marketplace.
The days are slipping past and I am doing very little exploring but I am enjoying the days, the company and just life in general. It is a good life I live and I am blessed with good friends, wonderful family and I am able to do most things I want. As I said, it is a good life!
I've chatted with both my sister Jan and SIL Janet, as well as my dad over the last couple of days. Catching up on the news. Janet and Dennis return to City of Hope tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did.
Until next time...
Take care, stay safe,

Plans this morning had us all climbing into the Dogsled and heading off once again to the Arizona Marketplace for a walk around. We all managed to find something we really needed to buy. How rare is that? I know we can all agree pretty rare!
We stopped at Walmart for a few groceries and of course we all found some of those we needed too. I’m glad we had the Dogsled, he needed the workout!
Back home for lunch and a bit of a happy hour before my phone tingled with a message from our unmet friends Jim and Barb (Jim and Barb’s Adventure ) saying they were headed our way. I hopped into the Big Dog and off down to the road to await their arrival. Before long this massive Ram shows its grill work around a tree and in a cloud of dust whips off the road at break neck speed engulfing us both in dust. No not really, but it did show up, followed me along to our neighbourhood and pulls to a stop near the Igloo. Out pops Jim and Barb along with Zoey.
I say unmet because we have never actually met but have followed each other’s blogs for some time. Today we put voices to the faces. Sitting down chatting seemed like we’ve known them a long time. Laughter came easily and often. Dakota came out to join us after a while but the three dogs were not happy to all share the space so Yuma was put in the White Lion to keep an eye on things from the front window.
Happy hour lasted until after sunset and darkness was surrounding us, Jim and Barb stayed where they stopped for the night and with some luck we may have coffee time in the morning before they once again pull out. It has been a fantastic day with friends here in our little corner of the desert. We are so happy Jim and Barb made the drive out here to meet with us and hopefully we can spend more time together.
I will post the Marketplace pics tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time,
Take care, stay safe,

No wind, then a slight breeze and then once again, no wind, a slight breeze. Can you see how this day went? The blue skies and the warmer temps had us changing from long pants to shorts to long pants and jackets as the sun went down. A very quiet day of rest and visiting. The only photos were of a few fly overs as some helicopters whizzed over head.
Can you see him up there?
Chatted with Dad tonight, lots of snow, blowing, drifting, and maybe a little snow fall but lots of snow moving around. It snowed too hard to go to the bush to cut wood, crossing the field was white out conditions. So that gives you an idea of what the weather was like. Cold, cold, cold was also the word used. According to Wiarton Willy the local groundhog, only 6 more weeks of winter. Although Willy isn't always a very good prognosticator we hope he's right this time.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you've had a nice day.
Until next time...

A windy morning but bright blue skies and a bit warmer temperatures. Morning coffee time was outside but it was closer to 2 pm when it ended. Back home for lunch and to edit a few photos.
While looking out the window I noticed a silver truck pulling in near the White Lion. Before long a familiar voice called out and I recognized Ivan (Roadtrip ) as our visitor. Outside at the Stinger B we meet fellow Canadians, Ernie and Deb, whom we met our first year out in the desert, and Don and Donna (Driving Miss Donna ), all of them hail from the western provinces of Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Deb & Tom ( Celebrating the Dance ), Doug ( Miss Adventure Travels ), Riley and I were surprised but delighted when they all showed up. Laughs of course, problems solved, things were learned and a good time was had by all. We hope to see them again before we all leave the area.
Chatted with my dad again tonight. Lots of snow there, at least a foot and more on the way in the next few days. Cold also has settled in for a while. Condolences to the McGauley family in the passing of Stacey, at far too young an age.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you all had an enjoyable day!
Until next time...
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
