      It cooled down overnight again, 38F at 5 am,  Did not take long to turn some heat on and get toasty warm inside. With the lovely sunrise this morning came some warmth and was quite comfortable for my first walkabout, for about a mile. 
     Interestingly I saw some hoof prints in a few places from the burros,  but still have not spotted any yet. 
another nice desert sunrise
the burros have been here
nice landscaping on some sites here
       Shortly after 9 am our good friends Ron, Loree and Freddy had secured their coach and headed on out eastbound on their way home for some scenic drives. We had our hugs and see ya laters, safe travels guys and see you when we get back home,  in a month or so.
see ya later guys, safe travels
          Now at 9:30 I wanted to pick up a few things in Ajo so headed on in. wow was I ever surprised that the Ajo Plaza was packed with vendors selling lots stuff, food baked goods, crafts even had some Mexican children dancing on the stage there with their colourful costumes.  The whole town was bustling after all the weekend and tourists passing through. and a perfect morning for it.

  8. I've been meaning to tell you, if you ever run out of your favorites to read try Michael McGarrity's books. Tularosa: A Kevin Kerney Novel Series Book 1. They are set in the SW and I think you might like them. McGarrity is an ex-cop so he does a good job writing this series.

  9. The flea market would be just up my alley! Between good food and all those other goodies I know I'd enjoy it especially in beautiful weather! I'm so glad you enjoyed the pizza! I made on yesterday too to take over to our neighbor Karen's and she loved it too! I do enjoy your recipes as seen from the other night. Those tuna melts are so delicious!
