Enjoyable weather about to end

                  We have had some lovely weather this past week or so. It's hard to believe it's November with daytime temperatures rising into the mid 80's and nighttime temperatures in the low 70's.

A beautiful start to our day yesterday....getting up at 0430 you get to wait for sunrise!  Falling back an hour Saturday night must have caused my early rising, sleep is very much overrated!

Speaking of Saturday it was a busy day.  Sonsearae treated me to Afternoon Tea at Charlie Park.  It was so much fun!  Little sandwiches and small bites of scones, shortbread and desserts.  We laughed and cried, probably solved some world problems as we drank the special drinks they served.  Very special! 

Afterwards we went back to her house to swap vehicles and pick up Jim to head to the Greek Festival.  Chris opted not to go as he had just returned from his son's wedding in Texas.  The weather was warm and most everyone was enjoying the food and entertainment.  Jim found some food to eat while we ladies just watched him eat.  The Holy Mother of God Greek Orthodox Church hosted the event.  We looked at the some craft booths and saw some of the ladies dressed in traditional clothing

Dust, Dust and more Dust!

                                    Reminds me of the winter we spent in the valley, when they were working on Military Road.  Our 'resort' has the look and feel of a campground.  Despite the Golf Course next door.  The U-shaped road is all dust and sand.  Some of the sites are concrete some are asphalt.  Impossible to keep the truck clean.  Not to mention the rig.  At least the weather is pleasant enough for Jim to wash the truck today.

For our mid-day meal we had red beans and rice.  It was so yummy

Recently Jim saw his oncologist and his lung is still cancer free.  Another checkup in a year but the doctor said this type of cancer shouldn't return.  Great news!

I still have some flowers left but they are looking tired, about as sleepy as this anole!  I couldn't believe he stayed long enough for me to get this picture (one of many) and I had to lay on the cement pad to get this shot.

Did you know bumblebees sleep in flowers?
