My son sent me this photo of Baby Jerry in his crib playing with a baby toy. He is getting to that age where colorful things interest him.
We bought him a couple of interactive toys that we plan on taking to the place where we meet on our next visit out there. I think he will like the Baby Einstein music and play button toys we got him.
We went shopping today and since the flower department has bunches of tulips and Gerbera daisies, we bought a bunch of each. When I got home, I placed them in a vase on the dining room table. I took this close-up of one of the Gerberas. Click on the image to enlarge.
We have lived in our little house here in Wickenburg for just over five years now. Every day that the weather is clear, we can walk down to the road in front of the house, look east and we see this beautiful mountain ridge, located about 20 miles from us.
It is a ridge and mountain peak in the Hieroglyph Mountains and is the third of three ranges, the first being just east of town. The first range is covered with saguaro cacti, the second with more mountainous vegetation and the last ridge is mostly rocky. The colors are just beautiful, varying with the time of day and weather composition.
We love it here in our retirement house.
There is a large pond in the RV resort very near where we were parked during our recent visit to see the kids and grandson. These ducks seem to be part of the landscape when we visit this park.
The baby and his parents were feeding Cheerios to these guys as they came very near our camping spot. This was very entertaining for the six-month old boy who laughed and made noises to try and attract the ducks to come closer, which, of course, they were wise not to have done.

We have had a couple of beautiful days camping here in the Coachella Valley. The temperatures and the weather in general have been very acceptable. This evening, we enjoyed this beautiful sunset. Tomorrow, we will be breaking up camp and headed to the Colorado River to visit with our friends who live there.
While we were here in Palm Desert, we enjoyed visiting with our six-month old grandson, his parents and his other grandpa was here, too. We had a cookout yesterday, when I grilled some steaks and Verna fixed the side dishes which we fed to everyone.
We are planning to prepare another steak dinner for our friends at the river tomorrow. After we spend the night there, we will be driving the Roadrunner RV back to Wickenburg.
When we arrived in the Coachella Valley today, we quickly got settled in for our first of three overnight stays here. Tomorrow, we will further be setting up the grill, tables, chairs and other items to prepare the tenderloin steaks, the gluten-free Mac’n’Cheese and BBQ beans for the cookout we promised the kids and the other set of grandparents.
