Brrrrrrrrrrr............had to get up at 4:30 am and put on my stocking cap this morning as it was only 50 deg. in the rig.  No insulation in this trailer, but both my dogs slept in my bed last night. They are such cuddly, warm things, but take up far too much room. I barely had the edge of the bed to sleep on. LOL  This is really unusual for it to be so cold this early.  It was definitely nippy on our dawn hike out into the desert this morning. At least the rattlesnakes are probably underground today. Must be coming down from Idaho.

I've been in Yuma since October 23rd, at which time I came down with a lousy cold and was out of commission for about a week. And the temps were in the low 90's.......go figure. Then my truck axle started leaking and long story short, I've had to add
$2,000 in repairs this month to my credit card.

I have managed to go out dancing a few afternoons and hook up with old friends.  It's kind of like going to a reunion every year. Such fun. Of course, I have to learn their names all over again.  I hate this part of getting older. I used to have such a sharp memory. What happened?
