San Diego part 4

 First, I would like to wish our daughter, Tressa and son-in-law, Andrew a happy anniversary. One year ago, today they were married in our front yard. So much has happened since then. The time did fly by though. 

October 3, 2020

It has been another whirl wind of a week. We saw family and friends. We went out to brunch with my cousin and his family! A place named "Jimmy's Famous American Pub" (never found out what it was famous for - LOL). It was nice. We walked around afterward and saw this big guy. He was fun to watch.


Hubby, Tim, me, Michelle and Lindsay

Last Wednesday, we met up with my cousin, Candy and new hubby, Aaron. Forgot to take pictures. Makes me so mad when I do that. We haven't seen each other for a while. It was nice to catch-up.

 

Thursday, my best friend from college came to see me. She drove from the Palm Springs area. When we talk it is like we talk every day, the conversation easily flows. We all went over to Thor's for Thursday Night Football and then Lynn and I stayed there and had a fun time driving all over San Diego. We went to "Clayton's" for breakfast - YUM! Then walked over to a park and just sat for 2 hours talking. This was on Coronado Island. 


Fun Fact: Clayton's was named in 1972 when the owner Clayton Rice changed it. 
It was formerly named Gerry's Coffee Shop which opened its doors in 1947.

After the park, we headed to Ocean Beach or as the locals say OB. There I took her to a restaurant, "Wonderland". You walk upstairs and then you can see the beach. We shared some yummy food and talked some more. I don't think we could ever run out of things to talk about.

We drove back to the rig and talked some more, hubby joined us as well. It is easy to solve the world’s problems over food, now if the world would just listen to us - LOL. "The Lord has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of evil". Proverbs 16:4 (NASB)
 
I started a project that involves every state we visit. I like to know the state's bird, tree, flower and motto. I will start with our first three states where we spent at least one night. 
 
*Texas: Mockingbird, Pecan, Blue Bonnet and "Friendship" (which comes from the Caddo Indian word meaning Friends or allies).
 
*Oklahoma: Scissor-tallied flycatcher, Red Bud, Oklahoma Rose and "Labor Ommia Vincit" (Latin for Work conquers all).
 
*Colorado: Lark Bunting, Blue Spruce, Rocky Mountain Columbine Aquilegia Coeurlea and "Nilsire Numine" (Latin for Nothing without the Deity)
 
If there is something special you would like me to take a picture of, please let me know!
 
Drop a comment for me and let me know your thoughts on the blog.
 
God, the RV & me...

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
