       Today is a typical desert day in southern Arizona cool nights and warm sunny days that's why we love it here.
       Did a  trip to Blythe early to get a few groceries and home before 10 am.
       Putter around a bit, a light lunch then Clancy and I made trip over to Q Mountain (hill) to hike the peak. Something I have wanted to do for quite a while but Suzie will not do it and does not want me to go alone.  Whippee Clancy will go with me.

This be the Q

       Heading on up take a few pics the view is wonderful

 a pretty easy walk but still better than none
Clancy and I having a fun time

          At the top we relaxed a bit, but I had to sit down. I have a fear of heights (vertigo I think)  But I did it !!!

the big tent in the distance 

the flag at the top, we did it ! 

an old mine to the south

an atv down below

         Now heading down for me was a challenge, as long as I did not look down I just looked at my feet I was alright. Other wise not too good. Stopped to take a couple pics then we back down to the car.

        Around town stopped at Gem World and HI Jolly cemetery to show her why the camels here on the Quartzsite signs. If you care read about it here

         Back to home dirt and we have company that just dropped by. Rolling from Wasaga Steve and Jane stopped in to say HI! Their first time here in the southwest and had planned to come to Bloggerfest but got tied up in the BIG Tent. Hope they enjoy their time here in the southwest. Chatting with them for a while, not nearly long enough, Their house near Wasaga Beach Ontario is only a few blocks from our cottage that I spent about 10 years as a child in the late 1950's to the mid 1960's , now that is a small world ! hope they enjoy the southwest that we love.
        Would be nice to see them again.
        Now about 3 pm time for Happy Hour at John and Barbs. Toni and Doug (Palamine)secured their trailer and headed back to Pilot Knob by Yuma. Thanks for your help here with Bloggerfest.

doggie fix for Suzie 

         Just a nice friendly social hour flapping our gums and sharing stories. Then time to whip up supper.

         Tonight a couple boneless skinless chicken thighs I picked up today (on sale of course) $1.79 a lb. Add that to our salad and we good to go.

another tasty supper 

oh and another wonderful desert sunset

        Thanks again for taking a peek, nice of you to stop on by. Hope you enjoyed your day too.
