Walt and his new golf  buddies....Don't be jealous guys!

Good morning! Now that we're on our 2nd cup of coffee, we're ready to start making plans for the day. My daughter Kristen celebrates her 40th today, can't believe it! Also, my sis and her husband are coming from Michigan to hang out with us for the next week. We'll be heading up to Sedona, Flagstaff and eventually the Grand Canyon...their 1st time.

It's been pretty laid back here. I was planning on going for a little hike, but after Walt had that little run-in with a rattlesnake, I'm a little hesitant. We have a nice little grassy area outside, and yesterday I watched a little cottontail come over and eat to his hearts content. Also, we put up a hummingbird feeder, and they found it immediately. Who knew there were hummingbirds in the desert? Oh, and doves too...I think they're called mourning doves, because they make that little cooing sound.

Life is so good. We keep looking at each other and saying, Oh my God, we're living our dream! Now, if we could just take you all with us...........

Carol

4/30/2012  Carol was sunning at the pool and I went shopping.  When I got back a Rattler was coming across the street headed for our RV.  I tried to turn him around and he kept coming.  I had my walking stick and tossed him into the air.  He landed in this tree and finally a ranger came and took him away.   

This is our camp site Thousand Trails RV Valley Verde.

Close up.

As the Parrot says it is Five O'clock Somewhere.

This is Carol and Walt on patio deck at Douible D's BBQ restuarant. It was awesome.



There were a ton of bikes up there.  This is one.  I opened negotiations with him for BBQ.  It can be his new ride when he gets back from Australia.
