Sitting quietly in Sahuarita

The weather sure did change overnight! The wind picked up with a little bit of spitting rain throughout the night. We woke up to a pretty blustery day, Winnie Pooh! The day only got colder, windier and darker as it flew right by us. It even seemed as though a lot of the RV's even left due to the weather changing so drastically...maybe they had other plans but it just seemed that way.

We ended up getting the heater down...why sit in the cold when we can sit and be comfortable!?

Not a very exciting day but at least J' was able to get some work done and we stayed warm.

PEACE

Darn those Bucking Broncos!

We left the R.T.R. for a couple of days to run our errands in Blythe but to also watch the foosball games today and Sunday...we don't get TV in Quartzsite. We also like the fact that it's a good 10-15 degrees warmer...still cold, but warmer than Quartzsite right now. 

Today was a nice day to catch up on some posts, J' worked his mind and fingers to the bone and Savannah caught up on all her weirdo sleep.

The big game for us was the Broncos vs. Ravens. What a game...both teams played very well, the game went into overtime and the Ravens came out with the win...Booooooooooo. This will definitely be a topic of conversation (due to our Denverite Bronco Fan Friends) for at least a week. Oh well, it would have been fun to see the Broncos go a little further but they had a great season. Our day was filled mostly with watching this game. I (paper) wrapped my little prezzies for my nieces. I can't show you what they look like now because I don't want to spoil it, but after I gift them I will post pics....but here are some other pieces that I have wrapped:

It was nice to catch up on all the 'little things' and J' was able to churn out some good work today. We will stay out here again all day tomorrow, sleep here tomorrow night and then head back to Quartzsite some time on Monday. It seems to be getting quite cold here right now so we are planning for a chilly night...again, so glad we have that heater!

PEACE

I'd kick the winds a$$ right now if I could!

We have gotten quite the cold spell coming through here for the last couple of days...with LOTS of wind! I know there are people out there that really like cold, miserable weather...well, I am not one of those people. I was not made for temperatures of 60 degrees or under...yes I am a total wimp when it comes to cold temps or Winter. I am a Florida girl, I grew up on the beach and in swimming pools with flip flops on my feet. I still don't know how I lasted in Denver for 9 1/2 years with no working heat in my vehicle, but that's a whole different life and many many stories ago.

The wind up here has been non-stop since we came back and with wind you have cold and with cold you have to stay in your van all day, until you walk the Nana bug! It's so windy out here that when I walk her, her ears stick straight up in the wind! It's pretty funny. I also feel kind of bad for her because, like her momma, she too is a Florida girl and she just stands there, shivering, looking at me like, "Why momma, why?" But she has to go potty somewhere and it's not gonna be in the van...Has anyone ever toilet trained a dog??

We were pretty surprised the other day when we looked down into the canyon to see that a 40 foot RV had parked right down below the van. Yep, never fails! haha There are hundreds if not thousands of acres of open land where we are and they come and park right there beneath us...so much for the privacy we came back for!!

We figured they were just here for the weekend or maybe even the Veterans Day stuff in town but then another vehicle pulled up with dirt bikes and four wheelers, so maybe we're wrong...whatever.

We had to get the heater out the day after we came back up here and we've had it running off and on for the last three days!! Yes, it's that chilly! Oh and I wanted to update you on our "pricey noodles" we had the other night. I think for the price and what you get it's actually not that bad of a meal, to me it tastes just like a meal from Panda Express! J' grilled up some chicken to put in it and BAM...Panda Express in the van!! haha

We have just been grilling in the van and with the little set-up we have for J's office, it's pretty easy to put the grill up there and cook/grill anything we want.

Although, the day we got the grill out for the first time, J' didn't know his desk area wasn't fastened and secured like he thought it was...he set the grill on top of the boards (his desk) and everything went flying. There was coffee EVERYWHERE, along with whatever else was on the boards. It took a good 25 minutes to clean it up...another way to make us appreciate tearing the carpet out and replacing it with the mats like we did!

With everything going on lately and then this happening, my emotions figured it was a good time to just get it all out so even though everything was fine and nothing was ruined I cried like a little baby...release. It felt good to cry, as well as laugh with J' after the coffee fiasco...sometimes you just need to get it all out, scream at the top of your lungs, and sob like it's nobody's business. Sadly, lately I know this feeling all too well. I think 'the female' and whackadoodle hormones of mine are getting the best of me this week and anything is bound to set off the water works.... believe me...anything! Ahh, to be a woman! haha

I hope you all are having a better week than I am...this whole thing is bound to pass sooner or later. Just part of being I guess! I hope you have a happy night and if not, kick the sh!t out of that pillow!!
