Sunrise...Sunset...Sunset and Good Times In-between!

 Wednesday, January 11, 2023

I stepped out of the Stinger "B" this morning into a cold world.  The sun was still behind the mountains but had sent up a wonderful glow just above the Cargo Muchacho Mountains.

Sunrise

The moon was still above us.

The clouds in the sky

glowed as the sun continued its journey upward.

To the south of us.

Deb walked over as we sat outside having our morning coffee. As we sat enjoying the morning, there may have been some conversation also, we could see Riley coming back from her morning walk. She sat down with us and the conversation continued. It is such a lovely peaceful way to start our days out here.

After they headed home Tom and I came in and had a quick bite to eat then got ready to drive over to Yuma. We had a couple of errands to run and a few groceries to pick up. Six stops later we were finally heading home. 

After getting everything put away we were able to once again sit out with Deb and Riley. All to soon the sun was making its way down in the West and with a chill in the air we said our goodnights. 

Sunset

I took these two pictures before heading

inside to get things ready for dinner.

Then I could hear Deb talking with Tom

outside. I had a feeling the sky had turned a lovely shade of
of pink. Tom opened the door and confirmed my suspicions.

I grabbed my camera and was able to get a couple of pictures
before the color faded. 

No complaints about this day as I look back. Even though I never really enjoy grocery shopping I am grateful we can.

Today we were up before the sun and out the door as the first light of the day was starting to lighten the sky. It was a few minutes after 7:00AM when Tom stopped the Jeep to pick up Deb and Riley. Tom had a dental appointment in Los Algodones at 8 o'clock and so we were on our way to Mexico. In Mexico Tom left us ladies at a coffee shop and continued on his way to his dental appointment. After sitting and enjoying our coffee in a courtyard near the coffee shop we decided to go out and find some sunshine to sit and enjoy while we waited for Tom. We found the sunshine and we waited and waited. What was suppose to be a short visit turned into an almost three hour appointment. When he finally joined us we all agreed it was time for something to eat. We headed to one of the cantinas were we enjoyed an adult beverage with lunch. Afterwards we did some walking around and a few purchases were made before heading towards the line and home. 

We took a couple of short detours on the way home. If you would like to see some pictures of our day and these detours check out Deb's Blog, On a long and lonesome highway... She took some great pictures.

Sunset

Tonight's sunset are all the pictures I took today.

As I stepped outside and looked towards the north
I just liked how the clouds looked over the mountains
as the sun was setting.

Looking Southeast I thought the clouds
were pretty this way also.

The same view as above but after the sun had set. 

Noticing our fresh water tank was on empty Tom took a ride
to get some water. Those are the Jeep's headlights as Tom
made his way back in the last of tonight's afterglow.

It was a fun day and we are both so glad Deb and Riley joined us for a visit to Mexico. Looking forward to what tomorrow will bring. 

We are glad you stopped by!

If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.
