Retirement

Our New Motorhome in 3D

Our New Motorhome in 3D

Our inaugural voyage in “Road Runner,” our new Georgetown 30X3 motorhome took us to Palm Desert, CA to see Baby G and his parents. While we were in the RV Resort, I took a couple of images to merge into this nice anaglyph image of the big rig parked in our assigned space. Click on the image to enlarge.

You will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the image (click image to enlarge). As usual, I have posted a 2D image here.

I also took another pair of images from the rear of the RV. You can see the 3D image here and the 2D image here.

Throwback Thursday

Verna in the Great Room

From September 8, 2010: Verna posed for this photo while we were visiting Arizona and checking the progress of our new house. Click on the image to enlarge.

Today, we had our Thanksgiving Dinner on the table currently sitting approximately where I was standing when I took this picture over five years ago. Happy Thanksgiving!

I took this photo of Verna looking for photo targets of opportunity in the rock and cactus garden yesterday. There is always something in the desert to photograph, including the photographers, themselves. Click on the image to enlarge.

What’s for Lunch?

Cheese steak Sandwich

On Thursday, Verna prepared a couple of wonderful sandwiches consisting of pan-seared beef tenderloin slices, mushrooms, onions, garlic bits bell peppers and cheese. I’m posting this here since the weekend food blog entry was already composed.

There were some extra mushrooms and onions on the plate, but I got them scooped into the sandwich as I consumed it. Damn, this was good. Click on the image to enlarge.

In the Garden

Tomato WormVerna’s garden in the courtyard recently became infested with tomato worms. She has one pot with tomato vines and two others with pepper plants. The worms like both types of vegetation and have been found in both planters.

As of today, four of the little beasties have been removed from the garden. The first of them she found was as big as my index finger. The others were smaller, but at least a couple of inches in length.

I photographed the worm in the lower image on the right just before Verna plucked off the infested branch and tossed it out toward the RV drive, the same treatment given the previous worms found. I figure one or more of the enterprising roadrunners that hang out near the house welcomed the nice juicy treats.
