Life Disconnected
What happens when our satellite connection, Mr. Moto, fails us? Well we had four days in Borrego Springs disconnected. We had to change sites and a wispy little tree must have been right in the way. So with no internet we had to find other things to do!
Borrego Springs has a substantial grapefruit crop that is celebrated in the annual Tickled Pink Grapefruit Festival. So we went thinking this would take 45 minutes of our time..maybe. Turns out there were some lovely craft items for sale and a lady who sold hats...red hats. So I have declared myself Queen of my own Red Hat Society! It makes me smile to wear the darn thing.
On Sunday we met the crazy neighbors next door who were there for a golf outing of friends. Our Bassets introduced us to them and we spent a couple of hours drinking and laughing. In the midst of our partying, Adrienne got a whif of a rabbit and took off like a bandit with Rocky close behind. So here we go, me in my red had which is about 18" wide, through the shrubs to catch the dogs! We were successful but that required another beer!
Took off for Yuma on Monday and are settled in at Yuma Lakes on the Colorado River. Rain for the next two days will provide us with lots of fun because the ground here is sand, gravel, dirt. A Basset Hound walking through this comes out with a muddy belly! So I'm out there with a dishpan, sudsing off the dogs to try and keep the mud outside. And there's nothing quite like the smell of wet dogs!
