Time's a Flying

 Mid April already!!  It's been a full spring - unfortunately, a lot of germs and bad weather.  We're hoping to finally celebrate Christmas this week with the Portland gang!

We had a great time on our spring trip down to Phoenix and Palm Spring's.  The Portland boys came down and joined us.  Remember, the we joined the girls in NYC last fall.  The boys went to Spring baseball games and we all enjoyed excellent food and laying by the pool.  We also took a tour of Embry Riddle Aeronautic University.  M is interested in their program.  It's pretty impressive and I think M would fit right in!

 

Spring Training Week!!  Go Teams!

After J and M headed back home we headed for 5 more days in Palm Springs.  The best food, wonderful weather and the food was divine!  Yes, the food was good enough to mention twice!!  Yum!

My private pool for Water Aerobics.  There was supposed to be a 9 am class - but never saw a teacher!

Street Art in Palm Springs, sentiment good to remember!  We highly recommend the Date Shakes!

We went to the Palm Springs Art Museum our last day.  Fantastic displays - we both highly recommend it.

This sculpture in the entry way stole the show.  I've included the artist's information and a close up looking inside.  Amazing!!

I spent hours sitting on our patio, finishing the hand quilting on this 9patch quilt I started back around 2017!!  Poor thing was in time out during all the moving we've done.  My hand quilting as deteriorated these last years.  It's a race between hand arthritis and eye sight!!  As my mom used to say, "Old age isn't for sissies!" 

Driving home on Good Friday was like driving in UO football traffic.  Everyone from Northern California was headed South and everyone from Southern California was headed North.  Holy Moley!

Outside of Stockton we were almost hit by a HUGE  tumbleweed.  It came into the traffic lane right beside us - and it was taller than our car!  Luckily, it paused to let us by and then swooped in behind us.  I was too busy gawking at it to grab the camera.

Saturday was normal traffic, the weather was trying to decide whether to snow on us.  But we kept ahead of it?  This was the look-out at the Shasta Lake Rest Stop.

Since we've gotten home I've been busy trying to get quilts done for the Azalea Quilt Festival over Memorial Day Weekend.  I'll add pictures of my entries next time.

Come on over and see us!!
