Thoughts and California

Sometimes we "program" ourselves to do thus and such when we really "want" to be doing this other thing. So we do the other thing, 'cause we enjoy life and the other thing and then OOPS, we forgot to do the thing we "should" do. I watch this process in me every day, lately. My creative media of choice at the moment is knitting. Having a great time learning more about it and designing this and that. But of course, I "think" I should be "working" and this is the conflict. And the more I dwell on the conflict, the less I do of ANYTHING!

This happened in the laundry room today:

Guy walked in the door and announces, "I'm having problems with the hereafter. Guess I need some help."

We all looked at him like this: ???

"Yeah," he says. "I know I'm here but can't remember what I'm after!"

He is a happy camper :)

It rained 2 inches in Phoenix yesterday and the local news was all about the flooding. There seems to be no storm drains in this part of the country so the water collects in washes and the streets and then in people's homes. Interesting system.

I must admit I don't miss having a real winter.

We are planning a trip to Yuma and possibly the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument this coming weekend. I've reached my capacity for this resort. Break time!

I truly am smitten with this desert. Hope to find a way to be here next winter with out having to commit to one campground for months at a time.

We're baaaack. Weekend in California. Slid over the border near Yuma and camped by a little lake made by damming the Colorado River. Sea gulls and all. Peaceful and we didn't open a computer the whole time.

Will just took a bike ride to do some shopping. Not having a "toad" (towed vehicle) is a big plus in many ways.

We are making plans to be able to move about more and visit more out of the way places with the addition of a satellite dish for connection. I don't think we will ever voluntarily choose to stay in one place for 5 months again.
