OK...it's turned darn cold!

Posted that last picture, enjoyed the 70+ degrees, got up the next morning to more sunshine, but the wind was now coming from the north. BRRRRRRRR...really cold! And cold wind again today; we had to wear our jackets.

I came down with 'the cold' that many seem to be getting. Feeling kinda rotten, but am working on a positive attitude and hope to be rid of it in the next couple days. Oh, and I used the nose flush thingy...oh, that is nasty, strange feeling, but it seems to have given me some relief. So I'll use it again tonight.

I've taken advantage of not feeling like going out and...cleaned the coach, vacumned, wiped everything down with anti-bacterial wipes, done the laundry, sewed a little, read my book and finished 'another crocheted dishrag'.

Norman took on the chore of grocery shopping for next week. He had a list, so it only took about four phone calls to me to get it done...lol...You see, he only shops for crackers and pop and ice cream. He had no clue about the other stuff I buy. It was good for him...hee-hee...Oh, he also ran into town to do some shopping for RV parts. Eh, gads, sure happy I wasn't with him. The traffic was so bad on the highway and inside the Walmart (food shopping) he was gone over four hours.

We've got nearly all our stuff put away for an early start to Quartzsite tomorrow. All the window coverings are off, filled the water tank, dumped both gray and black tanks, hid our bicycles behind the shed on this property along with a couple plants I'm bringing back.

We won't get going too early. Ya see, we don't get up much before 8-ish. But we do want to leave in the morning. The line waiting for the stoplight in Quartzsite a couple years ago was three miles long. Later in the afternoon it is often up to ten miles long!!!

That's it for today. I've missed out on horse racing yesterday, bingo tonight and the quilt show tomorrow, all because of this dang cold. But beginning Saturday it's shop til ya drop week in Quartzsite...animal skulls...snake vertebraes...jewelry...beads...t-shirts...rv's and their accessories...artwork...craftwork...you name it, it's there...oh, and Todd, I can buy Derian a really nice rock!
