Bob, Pups and a Gorgeous Sunset

Bob carried Cabela and Bay Bay out into the courtyard this evening to watch the setting sun and the colors of the clouds. I took this picture while the dogs were interested in some cottontails or jackrabbits feeding across the road. Click on the image to enlarge.

This is the most colorful sunset of this year! However, there are bound to be a lot more as colorful and more in the coming year. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas 2015


Verna and I wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas! We hope that you all have been and will continue to be blessed as we have been.

We are spending our Christmas with each other and our dogs at home, away from the hubbub and secure in our little house. We plan to travel and visit with family and friends after the new year begins.

Verna took the image seen in the animation above on New Year’s Eve, 2014, just about a year ago. It was the ONLY snow day that we have seen in the five years since moving to Arizona.

Again, blessings to you and yours and enjoy the Christmas Holiday.

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

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.
