Monday

Well, we had an exciting weekend but came home with an empty trailer.  And I came home with a cold to boot.  So I'm sick and disappointed.   Went to see "Girl with the dragon tatoo".  Great show.  While in California got to meet Bobe's cousin Sue and her hubby. 

Also had breakfast with Mike and Sue, old friends from the railroad.
Here's the little fur-ball.
Palm Springs windmills.
After all that city we were glad to be back at the trailerhood in Tucson.  Coming home we drove through, rain, sun, a dust storm, more sun then another dust storm.  Exhausting!

Arnold Palmers we are not

morning sky- our first morning view out the door
Bobe asked me to go golfing with him and he gave me the puppy dog eyes so I said yes!  Look at that follow through!
Hey...who put that tree in the way?
Yes, this proves it there is green grass in Arizona.  It felt good to get my toes into it again.  Even if it meant going golfing.    When we got back to  the trailerhood we were greeted by a rush of horseflesh.
Yes it's Tom Smith on a horse.  This is right in the front yard of our trailer.  That is Dorly's house in the background and our view from our front door.  Oh look, here comes two more...

This is my good good buddy Bev and her partner Pistol.  He is making a face and so is she inside because I've taken a picture of her horse all SWEATY AND WHITE WITH SALT. HOW EMBARASSING SHE IS THINKING.  Don't worry Bev, You are so gorgeous that no one is looking at the horse.  Then up rides her other half.
He doesn't normally ride backwards like this, just turned around to show off his best side.   Here's the other end.
Tomorrow morning we are off to California to look at a horse.  There's so much peer pressure to just buy the thing I might be smooshed flat by all of it.  I'm going there to act like a grown up and make a rational decision and try not to notice how cute he is.
Here's the potential new member of the family.  Will let you know what happens when we return!

Adios!

Oh please don't humilitate me like this...
Maybe I could just run away from home...

Maybe I could run away in that direction.
Good thing I love you unconditionally.
One of God's best creations
Ever faithful, always glad to see us, pure unconditional love.
Happy Sunday everyone!  God Bless you all!

Swimmers

Good Morning all!


We had a good weekend, went to see War Horse and Sherlock Holmes.  Over to Tom & Vicky's Sunday for music and campfire and had our own campfire Sat. night here at Dorly's.  Here is some pics of our swimming adventures on Mon and Wed nights.

Yup, we all have this look right before we get in but it gets better since the water is warm!

Photos don't do it justice

Trailered out to the Tortollitas today.
It is like riding in an old western movie out here, including the old stone paddock they used to house livestock after stealin' 'em, or whatever they did back then..  Up on the mountain is the lookout point.

See it?????
Here's some of them horse thieves.  Oh no it's just Margie, Greg and Bobe a Chico.
And Ginna and Clarence and Blondie.
See it, the lookout tower is at the top of the hill under that cactus and the corral is down at the bottom. Cool eh?

Old technology meet new technology, yup that is a solar panel powering the pump.  There's them thieves again...
Thirsty hot ponies.

 Some rocky terrain.

This is Ginna, she is a new character to the blog, she is from the great state of Washington but has a house here too in the hood.
