Every day I write in my blog...honest! I just don't get it to the keyboard. I think about it though and I find myself composing witty things to say about where we are and what we are doing. I just don't write them down. I guess I thought no one was reading this anyway and since I was doing it for myself I didn't need to write it down. That's BS of course since I can't remember today what I thought of yesterday. Still, I have received the odd note wondering when the next entry will happen and so, guilt has set in and I figure I have to start typing again.
I have spent the last few months reading a lot of blogs. It's changed my ideas about only writing when we are traveling and only putting in stuff I think people would want to know about the area. I might get more personal and more opinionated, heh! hard to imagine more opinionated I'm sure.
So.. where are we? We are in Cathedral City next to Palm Springs California. We have a home base here on a friend's property. It's close to some rental property we own and close to our macaws that live there.
Two weeks ago, Mimi's mother died in Denver. She got there the night before and got to spend time with her and was with her when she died. This is something we all do and we rarely talk about but as dying goes, it was a good death. Mimi is ok most of the time, waves of sadness come over her frequently but she's coping.
We've thrown out all our plans and are just going day to day now. Mimi returned a few days ago and we are finishing some work around here. We will head east soon, maybe monday or tuesday. We need to meet friends in Phoenix and get some work done on the rig in Albuquerque and then we will cross the border somewhere and head south.
This is the spot where I built a pond last year. It is doing well and I love sitting and watching the fish. Country and I went to a koi and pond garden nursery over in Upland last weekend and got 2 more small koi. So, there are about 26 Wakin (japanese goldfish) and 3 Koi in the pond. We're planting and putting in more drip systems and turning this little spot of desert into an oasis.
