The Christmas Issue

First off, let me wish you all the best of this holiday season. Here is our Christmas tree, standing in front of our trailer. Of course, it is night and all that shows are the lights on the spiral tree, but that is enough. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking that I needed to take a picture of our tree for the blog. Good thing no one was out at 4:00 AM, had I been seen, the neighbors would have had me put away and I would be in a rubber room right now.




So, anything new you ask? Why yes there is I reply. This is Sharon, selling jewelry at the La Paz County Park swap meet. Now whose table is that on the right side of the picture you ask? Why that is mine I reply. Yep, I figure if I have to go to the shows I might as well have something to sell. So, I am now in the sterling silver jewelry business...


We made our last ATV trail ride two or three weeks ago. What with jewelry shows and the cold rainy weather (yea, I know, what's up with rain, it's the desert) we haven't ridden much. Anyway, we took off from alongside the Colorado River just above the Parker Dam. That is California on the other side of the water. Looks just like Arizona doesn't it!


We are headed for the "Eye of the Needle". We did run in to the occasional rough spot, but everyone lent a helping hand (except me, somebody has to take the pictures).







We climbed up to the "Eye", from where we had a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Well, we had half a panoramic and then we crawled though the eye to get the other half. You'll just have to take my word, I already have my quota of pictures for this issue.




And then we climbed back down. Notice that long shadow in the picture. That is me, I have grown a little and am now over 12 feet tall. Well, just look at the length of that shadow, you know I am telling you the truth.
