A Sugar Skull Handbag

Sugar Skull Handbag

We were doing a little last-minute shopping down in the touristy part of town today. We saw, but did not buy, this nice handbag featuring “Day of the Dead” (Día de Muertos) imagery. Click on the image to enlarge.

We were shopping for another person (my daughter-in-law) with Christmas Eve as a birthday. We finally settled on a nice hand-made shawl for her. We shipped it 2-day USPS today, so it should be there in time.

Red Amaryllis

Red Amaryllis

I planted two amaryllis bulbs a few weeks ago. Today, the first set of flowers opened. I took this photo in the courtyard so there would be sunshine on them. Click on the image to enlarge.

The flower stalks are starting to open in the other pot I planted. I will update this post when I have photos of the other ones.

Baby G Is Ticklish

Baby G Ticklish

We drove the new RV across two deserts today so we could see our new grandson again. JJ and Sara brought Baby Jerry to visit us in the new RV now anchored at the Emerald Desert RV Resort in Palm Desert, CA.

It was a nice visit and I got to hold the baby who laughed, smiled, farted and laughed again, much to my delight! I just love him to bits! Click on the image to enlarge.

Full Moon Rising

Full Moon Rising

I just posted about sunset a couple of days ago, so today I am posting the full moon rising just after sunset over the neighbor’s house with our lovely little cottage in the foreground along with saguaro and ocotillo. It was another gorgeous day today with a few scattered clouds and beautiful blue skies. We sure love it here. Click on the image to enlarge.
