Home...

Ahhh, Home again, home again....cool air! I love the drive home this time of year. Bee-utiful! It only took me 3 hours and 20 minutes, and that was with 2 pit stops *yes, I do pee along the side of the road----where else ya gonna go?*, and multiple stops for picture taking.
This first picture is coming up the mountain....the desert is sure nice and green this year! My trip starts at about 2900'..... windy mountain roads! Today I saw a TINY little fawn and her mama...I saw it last trip also...in the same spot! The little guy was only about 18 inches tall! I don't know what type they are-I've never seen such small ones, but, they were too fast for me to get my camera. Maybe next time...

Below is around Alpine, AZ--8500+ foot elevation.
Below is coming down Picnic Hill into town...Love the green!
Coming into 'round town' or what we call Round Valley...awesome clouds! 7100 foot elevation.
Finally, HOME! I was sure glad to see it!
I need to take the red, white and blue off the fence already! LOL
I got home at 1:30, unloaded, did 7 of the 9 loads of laundry, which I hung out on the line to dry---brought the trailer rugs, bedding and hubby's work clothes---, mowed the front and back yards.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll have some time to do some CRAFTING!!! After I get my AVON order delivered.
Thanks for your visit! SherryBee in AZ
count your blessings...

...I wanna go home...

I left the mountain Friday morning, to go to my moms in Willcox. Hubby got transferred from his job 6 hours away to another town, only 3 hours and 15 minutes away...AND, it's on the way to my moms. He had a L.O.N.G week staying in a motel room. He didn't want to move the trailer until his welding tests all passed, etc. I picked him up after he got off work and we found a trailer space. H.O.T---I do NOT know how my hubby works *WELDS* in the heat! Poor guy! Then, after we got that all done, we went to my moms 45 minutes away.
Saturday, we went to pick up the trailer 2 hours from moms...H.O.T. 110 degrees HOT! It did start to cool down when we pulled out with the trailer. The trailer park we left ended up getting TWO inches of rain in an hour!! That's whatcha call a cloudburst!
Here, you can see the storm moving in...
I had hubby stop so I could get a few of these fruit from a prickley pear cactus. Mom and I are planning on making some PP jelly next weekend. Hope they will be ripe by then.
Hubby and #1 son used to eat here occassionally....hubbys idea for the picture! *rolling eyeballs*
We parked the truck and trailer in front of moms Saturday night. She had BBQ hamburgers ready for us and I did up some of hubby's laundry.
Sunday, we pulled the trailer over to the trailer space we had found and got it all set up.
Parking that 32 foot trailer is like cutting your bangs! First you gotta straighten one side, then, you gotta straighten the other side! It drives me crazy! But, hubby likes it STRAIGHT! hehehe



Today, I went and did some shopping, and checked the scrapbook store in town. Gotta get that important stuff done, ya know! LOL It was 107 degrees at 11:30 am....and just think....today, the high at home was 79 degrees!
Tomorrow, I'm going H.O.M.E!
Thanks for your visit! SherryBee in AZ
