Every time we pass through the old historic district of our scenic little touristy town, we’re reminded of what a great little town this is. We were out and about with the food donations yesterday, when I took this photo of our historic AT&SF Locomotive on old Railroad St. Click on the image to enlarge.
A few days ago, Verna went to the Spa at Los Caballeros here in town. They gave her a pedicure, a manicure and a facial. She liked it. We plan to make a visit to the spa a regular thing.
While we were there, I took a pair of images of the spa and later combined them into this anaglyph view. Click on the image to enlarge.
Of course, you will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the anaglyph image. If you don’t have your 3D glasses you can view the 2D image here.
In addition to the new clubhouse at the Retirement Ranch, the management is installing a pool for the seniors. The pool is relatively shallow with stairs at both shallow ends and a ladder in the deepest part. There is also a whirlpool spa at the south end of the pool. Click on the panorama to see full-sized in the image viewer. Be sure to scroll right to see the whirlpool.
The pool should be complete in a few weeks. I will post another panorama of the complete, water-filled pool and spa.
Verna and I prepared one of our favorite Tex-Mex dinners today, “Crazy Yellow Chicken Fajitas.” Similar to, but much better than, the well-known fast food chain’s version of this. We marinate the chicken breasts over night and then we bake them for an hour, finishing up on the hot grill. The chicken gets shredded and stuffed into flour tortillas along with the rice and beans. It’s a very tasty meal and better than El Pollo any day. Click on the image to enlarge.
Mom recently moved to a larger room at the ranch. This time, her view is of the facility courtyard and fountain. She is really pleased with this room and enjoys having a private bathroom. I took this photo out of her window today when Verna and I were visiting. Click on the image to enlarge.
Last week, the activity director at the Retirement Ranch asked Mom to play “Happy Birthday” on the piano for one of the other residents there. I took this photo of her warming up for the event. She did GREAT! Click on the image to enlarge.
