MORE FRIENDS & SOME FLEAS

Yesterday's spectacular sunrise.

Our friends, Bob and Diana Rush, drove down from Lake Havasu yesterday morning, arriving at our desert camp site a little before noon.  We hadn't seen Bob & Diana since May of last year at their summer home in Enterprise, OR, on our trip north toward Canada, and Alaska.  We sat outside in the warm sunshine, visiting with our long time buddies, before heading into town in search of some more treasures.

The Tyson Wells flea market was our destination, and even though we had previously spent a couple of hours checking out all of the vendors, it should be no surprise that I found some new fleas.  Nancy had an interest in an old wooden wagon wheel, and missed the vendor who had two of them during our previous walk through.  When I showed her where the two wheels were, we both decided we wanted one, and I started the negotiating process with the owner.   He was asking $125 each, and even though I tried to get them both for $190, the lowest he would go was $200.  Sold!  The wheels were pretty heavy, but we managed to get them into the back of Nancy's Jeep, with one soon heading for CA, and the other destined to be placed somewhere at the Last Chance Ranch.

When we returned to the motor homes, our late lunch was smoked, pulled pork sandwiches, and some of Patty's delicious coleslaw.  Topping off the menu was Diana's fresh baked cherry pie, my favorite!  Nope, I didn't BBQ the steaks for a second day, as we were all stuffed from our late lunch.  We always enjoy our visits with Bob & Diana, and look forward to our next "get together".

Today is our last here in Quartzsite, with tomorrow dedicated to the trip home.  Then, on Sunday, our metal building is due to arrive, and be put up.  That will indeed be a milestone, after jumping through a bunch of county mandated hoops.

Nancy, Bob, Patty, and Diana.
