I Have Died And Gone To Heaven

As we drove from Quartzsite to our destination in the Palm Springs area we could not believe the views. Mountains were topped with snow and it was an incredible site. As the sun set later in the day this is our view from our resort.

I always wonder if those who live in areas and see these views every day become complacent to the beauty. It should be noted that I referred to our home for the next two weeks to a resort as opposed to a campground. While in Quartzsite we ran across a great deal on a club of sorts. It is a bit like the time share deals that were so popular. You buy into a home park for a certain fee and in our case our 'home park' is in Oregon. We are able to stay there free for two weeks at a time. We then get a huge discount at participating 'resorts'. For instance our home here is charging us $10 a day as opposed to $30 or $40. We have two great pools, hot tubs, beautiful sites, activities, pot lucks etc etc. Very nice.

Anyway, Lenny sent me this picture yesterday. Poor Julia is not feeling well and I am sorry that she is ill.....but look at what she is snuggled up in! Gamma's (she is finally saying it and that is pretty much how she pronounces it) Christmas present to her seems to be a hit for sure when she is not feeling well. And yes Bugs one cat in particular likes to sleep on the chair too. However Julia will push him and say"Out". Oh I so miss those grandbabies.
More to come from this beautiful place as we explore with Mikey and Jan.

Thanks for the posts - It's a great way for some of us to see the world without leaving the WARM, COZY state of MN. HA
