CAMPFIRE IN QUARTZSITE

We've been parked in the desert near Quartzsite, since last Friday, the 22nd. Yesterday, our friends arrived, after they finished working the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction in Scottsdale. Sitting around the campfire last night, (left to right), Jim, Len, Harold, Ellie, Betty, and Patty. Megan is the only person missing from this photo, where the marsh mellows were being roasted, and in Patty's case - mostly burned. It was a pleasant weather evening, with no wind, and nice conversation with good friends. We now have 4 motor homes circled around the campfire pit, and we'll be here until about Saturday, when we'll head for home. The other 3 couples will be here for about another week, before they travel west to Pomona, for the first NHRA drag race of the new season. Today, the big tent opens back up for the Arts and Crafts show, and that's high on Patty's priority list of things to do. Oh, almost forgot. I stopped by the window awning vendor day before yesterday morning, to find out why I didn't get a phone call from them, regarding the new awning I wanted to purchase. It turns out that in this high tech world, my information was lost, in the process of being emailed to the mobile tech, (yes, they have computers in their trucks), who was supposed to call and schedule an appointment. After a bunch of apologies, the awning got ordered, was here in less than 24 hours, and was installed yesterday afternoon.
Life is good in the desert, where the temps have been in the mid 60's, and lots of sunshine.
