October 2013

 Yes – California was calling me and it is beautiful….warm and sunny here!

Can you believe it?  Yes on rare occasion, I drive the motor home……I’m driving
our home down the highway.  40 feet of motor home, 15 feet of Jeep and
5 feet of towing mechanism.  YIKES!  It gives me a real appreciation of all
the driving Mike does! 

Indio Here we come!

Days after we arrive in Southern California……..Our refrigerator goes out!
Bummer - Bad Luck!

Mike works miracles…..He replaced our electric, gas, battery motorhome refrigerator with a residential electric fridge.  Below the fridge is our furnace making finding a fridge that would fit difficult……..but we found one.  Mike and our neighbor Kim Hansen removed the old fridge, and installed the new fridge…..all through the door!
(no removing the windshield like most folks have to)
I love my new refrigerator!

With all of the sunshine and 90 degree weather, my nasturtium seeds came
up in just days.  They love the sun!

We got everything set up in Indio and then we took off for 11 days. 
St. George Utah – an incredibly beautiful area.  The weather is cooler
than Indio but still sunny.

When we get to St. George……..Our washing machine goes out!
Bummer – More bad luck!

But we got a new Washer / Dryer in just a matter of days.

Mike’s back has been bothering him for quite a while…….It is getting worse and so we go shopping for a new mattress. (This is becoming an expensive month)  Found a great one in St. George so we had it delivered the same day the new washer came.  I am glad to say that after only five days….Mike’s back is much better!  The new mattress was a good thing!

We are in St. George Utah for a Jeep Rally.  Great time with great friends. 
There are almost 200 people at this rally (95 Jeeps) with trail runs going out every day.  This was a trip where we crossed a beautiful waterfall.
The fall colors and awesome scenery make this such a beautiful area.

We celebrated my 66th birthday with our outstanding friends.  

Another day out on a trail shows us amazing views.

I know I’ve said this before but here it goes again – Utah is my favorite state!
The red rocks and incredible mountains.......
What a great fall we are having.
