Bowlin', haulin' & dust storm

The Girls wanted to do something for my birthday and gave me the choice. They really were thinking facial or pedicure or shopping, but that's just not my idea of fun. Last year my choice was to do a 5K walk. And Norman and I really enjoyed it, especially the stopover for steak lunch at the casino...Pondering thoughtfully for a day and a night, I decided to go bowling. It was great fun! Everyone really enjoyed it, and all plan to do it again this season. Our scores really ranged, all the way from 133 to 9. Yep, one of our group got one gutter ball after another, but she plans to go again...lol...


LIKE MY FORM? I WAS TRYING A LITTLE HIP SWIVEL TO HELP MY BALL


Boo and Ethel added a nice sunroom to their place. Here are Norman and Boo unloading their first load of tiles, grout and thin set for the floor. They could only do half at a time, because it is all our pickup could haul. Fortunately, Boo has hired a guy to do the interior, and Norman will only have to watch...bonus!

We got up this morning to beautiful blue sky and no wind. I got the RV dusted and vacumned and two loads of white wash on the line. Then the wind began to pick up...soon it had gone beyond blustery to downright blowing...took in my now dusty wash...put up the awnings...and will dust and vacumn again tomorrow... ;-(

The left picture is the sheriff with his warning lights already on heading to the corner of the desert near us. I believe he was going to stop anyone from crossing it. We definitely could not see more than a few feet into the desert...The right picture is taken from the same spot just showing the traffic up our way and the dust....
