More sunshine and warmth relaxing day and a visit from another fellow blogger.

Where are we today ?

         Up early at my usual time and enjoying the peaceful morning with Suzie, coffee's and computing. As the sun was rising I headed on out for my 1st morning walkabout just over an hour I got 3 miles in, sure is refreshing and energizes me.
as I walked down the road, the sun rose behind me
on my way back noticed another Blue Bird with matching trailer
in with the Blue Bird group
        Just did quick trip into Q to stop at the Roader Runner market for a couple of food stuffs and back home to putter around for a while.
       Soon time for our light lunch, some cold chicken , 1/2 an apple and banana, did the trick for me.
       Then as I like to do, drive about this area and explore some more places. So much to see in the the desert here, lots of bushes, cactus, scenery and interesting campsites.
        Not far from here I spotted this sign so checked it out. Hmm a map of the Magic Circle showing the boundaries for it. This is the clothing Optional area I have mentioned before. No I did not drive through and no I did not take any pictures, but is nice that these people can enjoy an area here if they choose.

       And on my drive around passed the sewage dump station at noon. 15 rigs in line not the time of day we will be going there. We do know the good time frames to do this. This time next week could be as many as 30 rigs, a very long wait!
long lineup for the dump station
       A bit later we enjoyed a wonderful quiet afternoon  immersed in our page turners. Under the awning just to keep us out of the direct sun. Even though it was not that hot 67F (19C) is quite comfortable here.
      Then at 3 pm Happy hour today at Bill and Patsy's with us, as well as Tom and Deb. And we had another visitor and fellow Blogger. Shadow Moss (Paula) In the Shadows this year's figure head and instigator  for Bloggerfest Saturday Jan 27th from 1 till 3 pm at the La Posa south Ramada. Always nice to see her again and flap our gums. For a coupe of hours.

       Soon it was time for supper. And tonight my version of Turkey Stroganoff just because we can. Have some leftover Turkey in the freezer and gravy so why not? For the recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar.

      As supper was ready we got to enjoy another wonderful desert sunset. We never tire of these, we will take all we can get. We don't see too many like this back home in the summer.
nice sunset, a bit blurry, sorry
      Now after dishes done we can once again go outside to enjoy these amazing star filled night  skies with no light pollution from the big cities.
      There ya go another day flew right by that we enjoyed, want to thank y'all for stopping on by. And hope your day was a great one as well.

  1. Three mile walk is a nice healthy jaunt.


    I can't believe they have a clothes optional area in Q. Wonder how long that's been going on?

    I know how Paula loves Bloggerfest and I think she will break the attendance record. Each year since you started it, it has grown. Can't believe it's been four years already.

    You had a beautiful sunset picture. Not one here. Too many clouds to the west.

    1. It was a nice way the begin my day and felt wonderful. The clothing optional area has been here for quite a few years and was just increased last year, I guess it is quite popular, lots of rigs there. The first blogger feast I could not make got called back home, A few other bloggers set it up.It should be a good turn out this year.
      Too bad no sunset for you but there will be lots more.

  4. Clemson was such a sweetheart!! I think if I had to wait that long to dump my tanks, I'd go at 6:00 in the morning!!

    1. The best time is by 8 am and after 4 pm usually works pretty good. I like to wait for the sunrise easier to see what we doing.

  5. You'd think after all these years and the money collected, the BLM would put in another dump station. It's not like it wouldn't get used.

    1. You just need to go at the right time, everyone want to go from 10 am till 2 pm. There is quite a few more dump stations at Imperial dam away from the crowds.

  8. Back to the google profile can't post a comment thing, George. This is Sue from MoHoTravels, and I wanted to say how much fun Blogger fest was when we attended and we are sorry we will be getting to the desert a bit later this year and will miss it. I do love those early morning desert walks, can't wait to do that again.

    1. Not sure why you are having issues with that sounds strange. But always nice to hear from you. Bloggerfest is a great way to meet fellow bloggers all in one place. Too bad you can't make it this year, Hopefully we will catch up with you at some point . The desert walks are wonderful love the wide open spaces.
