It amazes me every year how a prickly ole cactus can produce such a large beautiful flower. I have been enjoying exuberant displays of such flowers on my morning walks around the neighborhood. On April 6th we joined Brian and Marsha at Golden Rule Vineyard new vintage release party to taste the new wines. It …
Finally Warmer Weather
These pictures were taken last Friday 2/22 when it started snowing at our home in Tucson at about 9am and didn't quit until late afternoon. Today we are sitting at our RV lot in Indio in 82 wonderful degree weather. But even in Tucson it is 75 degrees. It has been a cold, wet winter …
New Year Chill
After Christmas we decided to break up our routine and take a drive over to Temecula to do a little wine tasting. We set out early Friday (the 28th) at 9am for the 1 1/2 hour drive over the mountain because we needed to stop at the Supercharger to get some juice (we could have …
Merry Christmas
I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas day with family and friends. We are enjoying the nice weather here in Indio. We drove over last Wed. afternoon. Since we left the RV on the lot last time we were here anticipating coming back over Christmas, we drove the Tesla this time (we will be leaving …
Birthday Dinner
Jim surprised me with a dinner at Vivace Restaurant for my birthday yesterday. We pass by this restaurant all the time but have never tried it out. To let you know how busy this place was, he only could get reservations for 4:30, so off we went for an early dinner. We started as always …
Turkey Overload?
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and yes, we will be having turkey overload by the end of tomorrow with eating all the turkey leftovers, but it's so good until that saturation point hits. We are enjoying our new casa in Indio. We arrived a day late due to mechanical difficulties Jim discovered on …
Construction Checkup Trip
Here we are filling up again! We did another quick trip over to Indio last week to check up on the construction (we are almost done). We left the house at 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, got 2 miles down the road and I realized I forgot my iphone and watch, so made a uturn and …
Yes We Did & First Trip
To answer my question at the end of my August 6th post - "Yes we did!" Sept 27th we picked up our new Tesla S P100D in Tempe after a very frustrating experience in getting our vehicle delivered. Plus they promise it will only take 15 minutes for us to be on our way. Well …
Baseball Trip
While Jim and I were enjoying our Friday evening on the patio with our glass of wine discussing what exciting experience we could come up with for the weekend, Jim came up with a trip to Phoenix for the Diamondbacks game. So jumped on StubHub for tickets, booked a room at our trusty Sheraton D/T …
Labor Day
Jim took off work a day early for Labor Day weekend, so we headed up to the cool country Thursday afternoon, missing a good portion of a holiday weekend traffic. It was so nice being able to sit out on the porch in comfortable weather, not sweating in 95 degrees. Friday morning started with our …
