WE DIDN’T GET TO MEET HER BUT WE SURE LIKED HER LITTLE PLACE IN THE DESERT

TODAY’S PHOTOS ARE FROM A LADY’S NICE PLACE NEAR US
Had originally planned on rolling out this morning but think we will hang around one more day & see if we can get ourselves mobile Monday morning.  Been here nearly a week now & that’s just about almost long enough in one place I’d say.  Time for some new horizons, new perspectives & some new adventures.  Have to keep those hounds of Boredom away from the door.  I must say though, we have really enjoyed our week at the Slabs:))

We had heard of a nice lady not too far from us who enjoyed meeting people so we dropped by but she wasn’t home. We really liked the way she had made a fine cozy desert home in a grove of Palo Verde trees. Very creative & it was obvious she has been here a long time because of her artistic cactus gardens.  We liked her sense of humor and artistically warm artsy charm.

Our little Motormouse has been just fine since recovering from her ‘supposed’ Harvester ant bite a couple days ago.  It sure caused her some pain for a short period of time.

THE LITTLE MOTORMOUSE LOVES LYING ON HER BACK
IVAN has been doing some more flying in his remote controlled helicopter & this time has put himself together a video of his flight up & around Plomosa Mountain near Bouse, Arizona.  Won’t be long & this guy will qualify as a flight instructor.  And, noticed on Facebook this morning that Wandering Willy has landed himself alongside Darby Well Road, Ajo Arizona.  And, this just in…..Ivan put up a new post this afternoon & he has rolled into the Darby Well Road area of Ajo as well.

Noticed this morning we have 3 new Blog Followers.  The Bayfield Bunch welcomes M from Hollywood California, AL, & AMBOTT 33.  Nice to have you folks along:))

This will be our last night at the Slabs & I suspect Monday night will be a complete reversal of where we are now.  Will we miss the zillions of barking dogs every night, the distant hum of a quadozen generators, and the rattling sound of old cars & trucks bumping by on the dusty road in front of us??  Strangely enough, I do think we will…….…10-4:))
GROANER’S CORNER:((  Now here’s a good example of some undeterred positive thinking…….A neighbor was watching a little boy playing with a ball and bat in his backyard. "I'm the greatest hitter in the world" the boy exclaimed as he threw the ball into the air. He swung with all his might but missed the ball and fell down himself. "Strike One" he says as he gets up. He throws it up again and swings. Again the ball falls to the ground with a thud. "Strike Two" he yells still undeterred. "I'm the greatest" he says as he swings once again hitting only air as the ball falls to the ground. This time he dances around the backyard as he yells "Strike Three.... I'm the greatest pitcher in the world!"

  3. There's a lot more green there than I would have expected. The lady in the Palo verde trees seems to have picked a prime spot. Very interesting posts on the Slabs. Travel safe and enjoy some peace and quiet!!

  4. I don't know if you know the 10-signals or not, you do use that 10-4 a lot, so maybe you do. If so, about Slab City, I would 10-22 and find a better 10-42. The place is just not 10-30 for me,,, I would 10-98 asap.....reminds me of what it must be like to live at the city dump... i would go 10-8 somewhere else....JMHO..10-4? :-)
