      Here we are now the year 2019 who woulda thought. It sounds like wow were did the time go.
After a fun New Year's eve with good friends from Rock Glen Resort in Ontario. Suzie and I managed to stay awake at home until 10 pm (midnight in New York) watching the Ball drop in Times Square telling us the new year is here. A good sleep and I even slept much later this morning until 5:30.Would be nice if I could do that every day. But then I feel like I have missed part of the day.
     The weather for today a bit better than yesterday  still cool in the low 50's F a cold north wind about 25 mph. But we do have a cloudless sunny sky, love that warming sunshine !
      Today we decided for our New Years dinner, Corned Beef and Cabbage for a special treat. I got the corn beef, potatoes, celery, carrots and spice packet into our new to us Crock Pot cooker early to get it going on low all day. The only thing missing was the cabbage, no problem a quick 10 minute drive to the closest grocery store I grabbed a small red cabbage. it does not need to go in until the last couple of hours.

      Then a special tasty New Years Brunch, Peameal back bacon and eggs to start the year off right. We did bring a good supply of peameal bacon from home.
      After lunch I took drive west of here and up Ogilby road. Have not been up that way this year yet.
      I turned north here and noticed all the dust blowing in the dunes a bit further west. Those stand dunes sure can blow a lot of sand and dust around with this wind, rearranging the dunes in the process.

can barely see the dunes in the distance not far away

         Then a bit further north just over the train tracks to the right still quite a few rigs camped here in this free area.

lots of wide open space here

       Then down America Girl Mine road lots of rigs here enjoying this area as well.

      Now back home Suzie and I enjoyed reading outside in this warming sun though only 54F in front of our coach we are sheltered from the cold north wind.

loving these sunny blue skies

     Reading our page turners what a wonderful way to enjoy a New Years day outside in the fresh dry air. As usual I would read for a bit, a walkabout, putter around and read a bit more.

     The following 2 pictures I snaffled from Patsy's Blog posting (Chillin' with Patsy) thanks for sharing Patsy.

This picture was taken by Bill Richards the other day of our site

        About 5 pm we getting ready to head inside, really cooling down now. Bill and Clemson walked by and Suzie got a doggie fix.

Suzie and Clemson he is such a sweetie

           Then Ron and Freddy walked by. Stopped to chat, so Suzie had to come and see Freddy.

Freddy waiting for Suzie

what a beautiful friendly dog he is

         While were chatting with Ron another couple stopped by he knew from here to chat as well. They are from Yerington NV. Wow we know of the place as fellow bloggers we have met Ken and Shirley are for there. They also know of Kevin and Ruth, as well as Contessa's blog from Mazatlan (Stone Island Mexico). They are heading into Mexico again very shortly and have done so for many years. Now is this not a small world?
        Time for supper and our corned beef and cabbage meal is all done, we could smell it cooking all day inside our coach

Oh my, this was excellent and a nice treat for us
of course I picked it up of sale a while ago for 6 bucks

       While enjoying our supper we also got to enjoy another wonderful desert sunset. You can see the smoke in the air I believe burning garbage in Mexico. we can see it most days but very rarely smell the smoke.

still going

that's it the show is over

     That was our very nice relaxing day. sunshine, cooler, and windy but we did get to spend most of the day outside even a few walkabout just under  2 miles walked today, better than none.

      Thanks for taking a peek and hope y'all enjoy a nice New Years day as well.
