Fixing the Fence

Gaelyn & Berta building the first fence
You may remember a couple months ago when Berta & I had great fun building a fence out of really cool slab wood.

The first fence

You may also remember how a big wind blew down the same fence. We really didn’t build it the right way.

Blown down fence
Well, last weekend, Berta and a friend, braved cold weather putting new fence posts in.

They almost finished the job, but the snow drove them inside.

Snowy day
Today the sun came out and they finished the fence.

At least one side. There will be a similar fence on the other side of the driveway.

There’s no place like home, click, click

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.

Copper, brass & nickel pendant
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.

Somebody’s dream



Highway 89 cuts right across the Weaver Mountains & home is at the top
A very nice journey with many friends visited, yet I was very happy to get home to my own bed. Know what I mean?

An Award

Karen from Fab Grandma sent me this Van Gogh’s Ear Award created by Roger at Idaho Potato and said this: Gaelyn at Geogypsy. She can spin a good story about all the places she has been in her NPS career.

This is my first award and I want to pay it forward. So the winners of the Van Gogh’s Ear Award are:

Bernie at Natural Moments sees the world through his heart, mind and soul and captures it in true words and amazing photography.

Suzie of Arabia, an American woman, shares the most astonishing stories and images of her new life in a very different culture.

Joan at South African Photographs sees how the tiniest parts of the world fit into the whole and big picture through her macro lens. Also known as Bug Chaser.

Amanda’s Veranda is an excellent place to hang out whether you have two legs or four. She finds beauty and humor through her camera lens every day.

Arija at Garden Delights weaves a story or poem throughout her views of the world in Australia and shares in the beauty of the world.

Kathiesbirds at Sycamore Canyon are well fed and photographed. She takes us on the most amazing walks through the desert.

Please take the time to visit these folks if you don’t already.
