Verna and I stopped by our new house this evening to drop off a few things. We’re still not quite ready to take occupancy since there aren’t enough furnishings to actually be comfortable. After we unloaded the stuff we brought, I walked out front and turned on the porch light. Unknowingly, I got a picture of the bear sconce at the same time that Bear appeared in the great room window.

During our drive to our dentist in Santa Monica, CA, we took a side trip through Santa Monica Airport where I learned to fly. Since the last time I was there, the city erected this monument to the memory of Donald Douglas who founded Douglas Aircraft. His company built many airplanes in Santa Monica.
The airplane is the venerable DC3 which is still in use some places in the world today. The plane sits on three pillars designed to give it a jaunty climbing left turn attitude. A bronze statue of Donald Douglas and his dog “Bar” (short for Wunderbar – German for wonderful).

Thee evening we arrived in our new home, both Verna and I were taking a lot of photos of what we were seeing. I took three images panning across Verna’s new kitchen and made this composite image. Click on the thumbnail above to see full-sized.
I threw this slideshow together to show to our family before heading back to Wickenburg next week. I’m posting it here as well as on our other website for posterity.
You will recognize some of the pictures we previously posted here with a few extras thrown in like a nearby landmark railroad station, our tankless water heater and some desert critters. You can pause the slideshow by rolling your mouse cursor over the images and resume by rolling the cursor out of the images.
This is the nearly complete house. Verna took this photo of the house just before we headed to California on Tuesday. Visualize a little landscaping and us standing on the porch for a more complete picture. Click on the image to enlarge.
