Vulture Mountains, Arizona
Left town Saturday morning and enjoyed a gorgeous drive through the desert.

Quartzsite, Arizona
After a quick visit with Fab Grandma I headed to Quartzsite. Ran into Joanne selling her beautiful jewelry and couldn’t resist buying a gift for Berta.

Sunday after breakfast with Desert Messenger I went to Susanne’s in Bouse and stayed in her little guest house trailer overnight.

Bouse is beyond Hope
The next morning we left for Algadones Mexico at sunrise. We both had dentures realigned which took most of the day. I also got an eye exam and new lenses put in my old frames. Neither of us felt like walking around with no teeth or glasses so we hung out in the courtyard at the dentist’s office. Finally done at 4:15pm and waited almost three hours in line to walk back across the border. Back to the guest trailer by 9:30.

Tuesday after a quick stop at Vicksburg fleamarket to see friends, I took a leisurely drive home through the desert, stopping frequently for photos.

A very nice journey with many friends visited, yet I was very happy to get home to my own bed. Know what I mean?

Desert sunset – Skywatch Friday

I’m not a morning person so I see more sunsets than sunrises and the AZ dessert is a spectacular place for sky watching. This particular view was taken during my first winter in the dessert (1997) camping on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land in southern Arizona for weeks at a time. I was equally fascinated with the saguaros standing tall with arms reaching towards the sky.

This is my first SWF post. If you like to watch the sky then go to Skywatch Friday.
