November 2013

 We started out November in St. George, Utah…….at a Jeep Rally.

My favorite part of Jeeping is the beautiful sites we have seen in the desert.
I especially love the slot canyons.

They are cool, calming, restful and oh so beautiful.

We found this slot canyon southeast of St. George in Nevada.

This big fella just watched us pass by……He was very close.

The winds have hardened the blowing sand and left these unusual formations.

On the last day of the rally, Mike led 30 Jeeps on an incredibly beautiful trail.
We drove through the waters of the Virgin River 28 times.

The day was so beautiful and we had a great time.

We are back at ORI now.........

I finished this quilt this month.  I love it – It is one of my favorites!

The black swan has returned……He is in our pond this year.

He is so beautiful.

We had a tree decorating evening……with a visit from Santa.

Our resort is collecting bicycles and toys for “The Spark of Love”
So far we have collected 100 bicycles for needy kids in the Coachella Valley.

A Jeep off roading trip took us to these ruins – It must have been where the miners lived back in the gold rush days.  There were two graves and mine sites nearby.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with some of our great friends.
We enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner at the clubhouse early in the day.
In the evening, friends came over to our place for sandwiches and
apple pie with ice cream….. YUM!

We want to wish all of our friends and family a Merry Christmas.
Our hope is for everyone to spend the holidays with the ones you love.
We wish for health and for peace………
