More desert fun here in Quartzsite

Where are we today ? 
clic a pic to enlarge it.
        Milder again last night, and a beautiful sunrise this morning. Loots like we will be have some warm weather again for a few days. I started a pot of Hurst's Ham Been, 15 Bean Soup boiling, the quick cook method, with 2 smoked pork hocks for flavouring the soup. After the coffees and computing done I headed into Town at 7:30 to fuel up our car and our water jugs with R-O water for drinking and cooking.
anther amazing  desert morning sunrise 
       Back home smelling the smoked pork hock simmering in the beans (smells yummy ) I finished up the soup and let it simmer to be ready in time for lunch. We each enjoyed a very tasty bowl of bean soup and of course lots more left over, more lunches.
love this soup only avaiable in the states
the 2 smoked pork hocks  from the soup
nice large pot of soup
what a tasty lunch
       Next on my agenda was another quick trip to town and stop by the Reader's Oasis Book store for a refund for the concert that was cancelled because Paul had the Flu, Still not open, it has been 4 days now hope he is ok. But while here I cruised around a bit and stopped by to check out Celias' Rainbow gardens again. What a great memorial and the story of her short life, (Pauls' Daughter) Click this link here for more information.

AdamsvilleAdamsville was moved from Castle Rock Shores RV Park, near Parker, along the Colorado River. Babe Adams started building the village in 1974. Babe and Babs, his wife, live near Parker for 18 years. They donated the village to the Quartzsite Historical Society. It was restored by many volunteers and given to Celia's Garden. It was set in place in 2001.
what a wonderful miniature town built here
old tire  the stem blew out
      Back home I proceeded to change the tire  tube on my Bike. It took longer than I planned but did eventually get it done. A few minor issues resolved and the bike is almost like new. At least no flat tire now. 
my bike is good and so is Suzies;
     Got this done including drying out the trunk of our car (broken water bottle) and on the roof of our coach to wash down our solar panels. all in  time for Happy Hour at 3 pm. Had to put a push to get things all done. Man this retirement is such is a tough life !
      Happy Hour at Bill and Patsy's today in the wind. It was sunny and a warm, day so not really too bad at all.
we all here, LR:  Ken Tom(hiding)  Patys, Bill, Suzie, Deb, and Shirley.
as usual me taking the pic
    Then time flew by and just before 5 we headed on home. cooler and windy , I did not feel like setting up our wind screen for the Weber q so another treat tonight  Shake and Bake pork chops , some left over KD and a small salad , did the trick tonight.
what a very tasty supper
     And guess what ?  Another wonderful desert sunset to end a perfect desert day!
interesting patterns in the sky
        Still enjoying tit here, and why not?  Perfect weather and enjoy fun times with our friends.
       Thanks for tagging along and  enjoying our day with us.
