So here are a few more new blooms, a nice view of the seed fronds of the Velvet Mesquite, even with bugs robbing some pollen. The prickly pear cactus blooms are very interesting. The start out pink, turn a lovely peach color, and then the final glorious yellow.

And a couple of fellows we met on the trail. ]

Cool that it's free! And such beautiful blooms to feast the eyes on.

Some year we'll get back to the desert again, especially now that you've reminded me what beauty is to be found there. I need more variety in my winters in any case!

Cheers!
Sue

I talked to Tim today and we still aren't sure what kind of cables his friend has with his video projector - but I'm sure we can get it to hook up to my laptop or someone else's. The idea being to make a slide show of still pics and run video through the projector on the last night. That way we can all share in the various mutations whether we were there or not. Like when Mary Ann and Annie out fish the two Steve's I can edit their fish onto our rods!! I have already warned the guide about this LOL.

All mutants everywhere - please be safe!

Martin is pretty good at filming, and has agreed to help with that and to bring along his output cables. We've never tried running film through a laptop though, so someone else's expertise will be helpful.

Cheers!
Sue

Hello, STMs:

It has been a while since I posted. We went for our first trip of the season last weekend, and though we had a few issues, it was glorious weather and good to be back behind the wheel of the beast.

We tried to install two recliners, but they didn't fit, so they went back to the store. We have ordered two from Bradd and Hall, and they are being made to match the interior ultra leather. They should be here in four to six weeks.

We got our corn hole boards, and played corn hole with our friends that joined us for dinner Saturday. That was fun!

We developed a gray water line leak right before the valve gate, as well as a leak in the sprayer on the kitchen sink faucet. We called Thor, and they authorized our local mobile mechanic to conduct the repairs, and they overnight shipped a new kitchen faucet. I can't say enough about Thor's customer service. They could have made us take it to an authorized service center, but the closest one is nearly 100 miles away, and it would cost more in gas than it will be to pay the mechanic. So, Serenity is getting fixed and this weekend we're out camping again.

The Easter Bunny is hiding eggs at camp this weekend, and all the kids and grandkids are coming for Easter dinner - sandwiches, salad, and all the Easter candy you can hold.

I will miss all you STMs, although I know you're going to be having a blast.

We are getting married on the 23rd, so while we will miss you, we have some celebrating to do!

G'Night all!

Congratulations on the upcoming ceremony! We will think of you on the 23rd with joyful thoughts!

Cheers!
Sue

So there was a moment there when we realized no pictures were taken at the Mini-C tonight. You can believe it or not - but Don, Sandee, Annie and I had a awesome time talking up a storm. Oh - and dinner was great too.

It was a grand event that could have gone on all night! I think we're going to need to stop the clock at the GC in order to get all the conversating and mutating done.

Tick Tock!

Many more blooms out, but the peak will not come for a while after we leave, darn it. Maybe next year we can stay a little longer!

So here are a few more new blooms, a nice view of the seed fronds of the Velvet Mesquite, even with bugs robbing some pollen. The prickly pear cactus blooms are very interesting. The start out pink, turn a lovely peach color, and then the final glorious yellow.

And a couple of fellows we met on the trail.

Grand indeed! Of course, Annie and Sandee probably wondered if we would ever take a breath! LOL It was a great time and though it took a long time to happen, well worth the wait.

Looking forward to the GC to meet all other STMs.
