Shopping This Week

This week was spent shopping - in the big town of Quartzsite in Arizona.   This is the week that thousands of RV'ers gather - in groups, and singly, mostly out in the desert.  There is also an RV trade show in an enormous tent, where one can see various products for the RV'er, for the men, for the ladies, and for the pets.  Daily we went into town to walk through another section of one of the largest flea markets.

We needed some work done on our tow hitch and the makers of many products have

representatives here and they will re-condition many things - such as hitches.  Since we had one side come loose last year, we did need some work done on ours so for a nominal fee, they were to re-condition it.  Well, we dropped it off on Tuesday and were to pick it up Friday.  On Friday, off we went for our hitch and as seems to be the norm these days, they repaired the wrong side so we had to come back in an hour.  The good thing - both sides were re-done - just what we thought  they would do.  We also checked out numerous motorhomes to see what was now available.


Here we have the view of some of the most beautiful sunsets ever - here is a sample of a couple of them.  We also had a day of wind - everything is covered in a fine layer of sand - time to do some housework.  It seems that is God's way of telling me that it's time to get busy.



We are fortunate to visit with some friends this week and even celebrate a birthday.  As we sat in the lovely sunshine, we enjoyed birthday cake, and some great chatter.

During the night, we often can hear the howling of coyotes.  We decided to put out our game camera as there is a spot nearby that has dozens of little holes - some that look to be rather recent.  Well, we didn't get any coyotes, but we did a photo of a fox as it checked these holes.  Tonight we will try again.


Tomorrow it will be time to move on as we try again to restore our youth.  We will go over to the Fountain of Youth - south of Palm Springs in California.  Hopefully this year we will be a little more successful than last year.  

May you have a great week!
