May 2013

May is an incredibly beautiful month in the Palm Springs area.  The flowers are all
in bloom and the birds are singing their songs.  It’s been a little
windy this year but a great month none the less.

We had been told that there were wonderful metal sculptures in Borrego Springs.  The visitor’s center gave us a map and we began exploring.  We found over 120 giant - metal - mostly animals.  This serpent was my favorite….it is about 25 feet tall and is almost 100 feet long.

This horse and miner (see below the horse) were so very intricate.

The scorpion was Mike’s favorite.  

Brandon, Karen, Ben & Anna came to Southern California to visit Disneyland. 
Mike and I drove over to spend some time with them. 
We had so much fun……but boy was I beat! 
Grandma isn’t as young as she used to be.

Ben and Anna with Phineas & Ferb!

Pat has moved to 29 Palms (about 1¼ hours north of Indio) to be closer to Rollie. 
They are both so very happy.  We went up to see them and
Rollie gave us a great tour of both the town and the Marine Base.  That night we
went to a “Big & Rich” concert on the base.  We had a fun weekend with them.
I miss having Pat near us but I am so very happy, that she is so very happy!

Andy, Rhonda, Lisa, PJ, Mike & I took a full moon hike in the desert.  I wasn’t too
sure about the whole idea…..but I’m so glad we went. 
It was beautiful….we didn’t even use the flashlights….
the moonlight was incredibly bright. 

Pat & Rollie came down to Indio for Memorial Day.  After a nice swim, we
went out to dinner and had a great day.  We will look forward to seeing them in the fall.

I finished another quilt.  The colors are bright and
I’m very happy with the finished product!

We packed up our “stuff” and headed north.  We stopped in St. George Utah
for a four day visit with our friends, Denny & Kay.  I love this town…….it’s clean,
temperate weather, gorgeous red rock surrounding the area, nice –
really nice people… and of course it’s in beautiful Utah (my favorite state)

We will be leaving St George in a few days, heading to central Oregon.
