Bloggerfest fun, and much faster internet access.

Where are we today ?
clic a pic to enlarge it
        After a great nights sleep up and I am ready for the day. Ready to get out and about at 7;30 as the sun was rising but too chilly for my first walkabout. So a nice drive into town and around  (nice in the early mornings with no traffic). Just grabbed a head of lettuce and the Roadrunner market and back to home dirt again.
          We have noticed this year that our Verizon mifi internet is much faster and very little slow downs compared to previous years and we do not have a booster. Compared to 2006 when extremely slow or non existent  at times.
My first drive about town stopped to take a couple of pics
the Camel stop. service station from days gone by
old post Office from back then as well
        A bit later a stop by the Reader's Oasis Book store. To get a refund from Paul Winer's concert last Monday that was cancelled because he had the flu. Finally opened up again today. His wife was there (just over the flu) he is still sick in bed. Hope he gets better soon !
this be Paul such a character and great entertainer
he has a very full bookstore as well
          Back to parking lot I spotted this Old ford pick up truck parked right beside me, Purrs like a kitten and the paint job typical SW desert old vehicle. no paint but still solid as a rock.
        Back home  around noon in time for lunch and noticed that Rick had out up the Bloggerfest Signs that I made 2 years ago. Glad that Paula is keeping them in good shape.
this be the way
      This year Paula In the Shadows ( Shadowmoss) is the spokes person/ co-ordinator  and wanted this to happen again. Our 4th annual Bloggerfest. Thanks Paula! Rick and Kathy arranged the Ramada and set up the signs and it all came together.
Shadowmoss (Paula) welcoming  us all and we made our introductions
     This was done and we all socialized, chatting and sharing stories. what a great time to meet and greet fellow bloggers and meet some new followers as  well.

Seeing America with Ken and Shirley

    Then I headed on home to make a quick light supper.  Tonight only a Grilled Turkey garlic sausage on a bun with sauerkraut was all we need after the afternoon snacks at bloggerfest.
sausage, smal foil heat the kraut and the buns warming in the the large foil.
this was all we needed for supper tonight

    Then just a couple of sunset pictures to end a wonderful desert day.

  4. Great pictures George! We'll be looking forward to Bloggerfest 5 next year. Nice to meet the friends we've been following on blogs! Kay and Red are an adorable couple, glad they came out! Glad we had one more happy hour (for now)..Thank yo for the salad recipe! We have all the stuff and Ken had the salad dressing on one of our lunch salads the other day, he's been a die hard thousand island person for 50 years, but he loves this one. No grounds in our coffee this morning again! Thank you!

    1. Thanks guys it was a fun day and always fun to meet fellow bloggers face to face. I am so Glad that Kay ad Red came out too, too bad it took me so long to click in on who they were. Sent me an email a couple of weeks ago. I have always loved Thousand Island as well , but now enjoy some of the other healthier ones as well.
      Gotta love those coffee filters for the perk, glad you like them. You can buy them on e-bay.
      Travel safe !

  6. Thanks for taking the time to share Bloggerfest with all of us. Nice to see who was there. I doubt that we will ever get there as it is too far from Mazatlan for us to attend but our thoughts are always with you.
