THE DESERT BLOOMS

Had to show why we can't leave until my Cactus blooms.  It only blooms for one day, so this series of photos is Saturday when the blossom begins Sunday when it is in full bloom and today when it is all gone....

FUN IN THE SUN

Yuma has a great new Water Park and it is on a hillside with a great view of the lettuce fields and mountains in the back round.  The "Water Road" goes all the way around, so you can get in an inner tube and just float around the whole park if you like.  They also have a "Fun Factory" above it with miniature golf, Go carts, bumper boats (with water guns), arcade, great restaurant etc.  Our friends took their Grandkids and I took some photos!                                  Hey family, Come on down!

Wind No Wind

What a difference a day makes with the Wind Storm the whole Southwest experienced 2 days ago.
Front Yard

Back Yard

We got the sand and dust and then it was over and gone and hope it doesn't come again! 

 

My "Family Wall"

For Christmas we asked for a Family Photo from each of our 4 sons, and now I finally have them all to at least enjoy for a couple of weeks before we get to see them in person!



 

Another Project for Roger

 We have had the outdoor kitchen that Roger built a few years ago needing some shade, so a couple of weeks ago he got a neighbor friend to help and they put up this cover in one day...My Willie Can Do Anything!!

Trip to Palm Desert & Borrego Springs CA

This is in downtown Palm Springs, Marilyn would be so Proud!!?? 

Then we drove out to Borrego Springs and there are about 150 of these metal animals all around the Valley.  Just a few for you to see...This guy was quite an Artist. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weekend Fun

Too many friends with good deals?
Now a new toy for big Rog!

Went on a little weekend trip up to Prescott, Jerome, Sedona, Flagstaff
Winslow, Payson & Globe
Had to stop and turn around and go back and see all these
Bikes, Motor Cycles, ATV's etc. as we had just talked about rather we had ever seen
a "Bike Graveyard"  Now we have!

Don't think the owner has any idea how many are out there

 Roger even pulled a "grandpa Jake" move    Scary!

Puerto Penasco, Mexico

 Had a great bus trip down to the Sea Of Cortez and the driver and his escort wife have been doing it for years so they knew all the fun places to go, see and do.  Wonderful food, and a bus at your beck and call to take you all around the area.
