Wellton Living

 We are parked at Tier Drop RV Park where we have the motorhome parked for the winter months.  One of the things we love about this place is the great people and fellowship.  We even have our own little church with our own Pastor Lee and his wife, Vonnie.  A sweeter couple no one could find!

The Park owner also farms the land surrounding the Park.  This is looking across the field of Alfalfa to the oasis of the park.  They irrigate from canals full of water from the Colorado River that flows all the way down to Arizona.

We hung two Hummingbird feeders on the Palm tree and they were there drinking a short time after.  We have one that guards it and we named him, Squeeks, because of the noise he makes.

What a great view of the full moon a couple weeks ago.

The solar yard lights are up and working, too.

It was time to drive up to see Mom.  We hadn't seen her for a while and we were anxious to get up to Las Vegas.  It's about 300 miles and a 4 1/2 hours drive.

The drive up 95 north takes us through Parker, Arizona, and all along the Colorado River.  It's actually pretty mountainous going through the Parker area.

95 north also goes right through Havasu City and past Lake Havasu.  It has still been in the 90's and it's strange to believe that Las Vegas is usually about 10 degrees cooler than the Yuma area.

95 takes us through the desert and into California for a few miles and down I 40 before it turns back north again.

It had been windy in Las Vegas so the city looked pretty covered in dust as we came into town.

Mom is doing great at 91.5.  I brought along some rhubarb that was cut and frozen for us by a good friend, Chris, in Denver.  It didn't take us long to get the Strawberry/Rhubarb pies ready to eat.

Our friends, Ray and Midge drove down from St. George, Utah, for lunch and some of that pie.  It's always great to see them and their dog, Abby.

Flowers right outside Mom's door. They do a great job with the landscape in her gated community.

 If it's Thursday, you will find Mom and her friends at the Dennis Bono Show at the South Point Casino.

We had a nice visit with Mom and helped her with a few things around the house. We will go back up for Thanksgiving.

We cut back through the open fields through Dome Valley the last stretch of the trip back to Wellton.

There are Military Bases in the area and three Helicopters flew over.

 An Egret sitting on the Crop Duster Landing field.

And then there's the sunrises.  We face east, so there's nearly a new show every morning.

I think this bush is called a Yellowbell.  We have been waiting for the grapefruit trees to ripen their fruit.

 We purchased a few landscape tiles and made a walkway to keep some of the dust out of the RV.

We miss our kids and grandkids, but life is good here.  We are watching the Cubs at their attempt to keep their dream alive of winning the World Series.

W Cubs Win!!

Blessings,
