Kathy could
not stop thinking last night when she went to bed and didn’t fall
asleep until after 3:00 this morning. I was a little luckier. I woke
around 3:00 and didn’t get back to sleep until around 6:00. It
could have been that the temperature was hoovering around the
Freezing Mark and we didn’t have our Blue Flame Heater
on. Let’s just say when I got up at 7:30 it didn’t take long to
turn it on.
After doing
my usual morning preparations I was soon on my Computer. When
I saw that we were only Two Degrees warmer than
back in Windsor I was not
impressed.

Last
night when I mentioned that Sherry
from the blog In the Direction of Our Dreams had
announced that her husband David
had passed away
after
a long battle with Skin Cancer I was wrong. Flower
Girl
corrected me saying that it was actually a Blood
Cancer
called Multiple
Melanoma
which I have since
corrected
on
yesterday’s post.
Either way David throughout his ordeal was always a true Gentleman
with
a smile on his face and
a
pleasant word. Sadly it
seems no matter which way you turn you are reading about someone
being diagnosed with some form of the disease.
After
having a Lite
breakfast and completing our morning reading on our Computers
we still
needed
to refill our Drinking
Water Jugs.
Since this was Thursday and we have both had a craving we decided we
would combine our errand with eating out. After loading our Water
Jugs
in the Truck
and
talking briefly with Wayne we were soon heading into Quartzsite.
Our
destination was the Main
Street Restaurant
where on Thursdays they serve what they
call Cowboy
Nachos.
As
we were pulling in a familiar black Jeep tooted his horn. It was Tom
from Celebrating
the Dance
leaving. By the time we parked he was heading up Main
Street.
As
soon as we sat down Michelle the owner simply held the menus in her
hand
and asked if that’s what we were having. Within minutes we were
being served our lunch. Only on Thursday the Restaurant
makes
Homemade
Nacho
Chips,
that are covered with Shredded
Barbecued Beef,
Onions,
Lettuce,
Tomatoes,
Beans, Cheese
and Cilantro.
It is slightly seasoned not
Salty
and served with Salsa
and Sour
Cream.
They
call them Cowboy Nachos it
is a meal by itself but it won’t leave you feeling stuffed. The
problem is it is only served at lunchtime until they run out and they don't offer them through the month of January. If you
want to try something with a unique flavour give them a try and tell
them you saw it on our Blog.
Our
next stop was RV
Pit Stop to
fill our Water
Jugs.
I fasten them
in the back of the Truck
and simply back up to one
of their
Filtered
Water Buildings
and
fill them there.
That means that I don’t have to lift the Jugs
until we get Home.
We were just getting started when the place filled up and we ended up
with a Huge
Class A Diesel Pusher
blocking us in while they fast filled 150
Gallons
of Drinking
Water
into its tank. At
$.20
a Gallon
it’s still a bargain.
Notice the desert is getting green from all the Rain we've had. |
We’d
barely passed Kuehn
Street
as we headed down Arizona
95 when
the Truck
went into Regeneration
Mode
to clean the Diesel
Particulate Filter.
Kathy insisted we drive it until it was finished the process so we
drove past La
Posa South LTVA
at Mile
Marker 101
and turned around at Mile
Marker 91.

Back
Home
while
I brought the Water
Jugs
inside Kathy went out with the Windex
Window Cleaner.
She totally destroyed our Bug
Collection we
had on our Windshield
that the Wipers
could
not take off. She then turned her attention to the other windows
before
coming in.
While
she was doing that she had no idea what I was doing inside but the
minute she walked in the door she had a big
smile
on her face. I’ve mentioned how Kathy has a Certified
Foot Nurse
come to our home when we are in Ontario
to tend to her Feet
because of her Diabetes.
When we travel that becomes my job and we
have special Nail
Clippers
that are only used on Kathy’s feet so there is no chance of
Infections.
She
had mentioned her feet were bothering her but
it was finding the Time.
After soaking her feet I started giving her a special Pedicure
and
by the time
I was done she said her feet were in Heaven.
Now
it was Time
to take care of myself. Using the Dumbbells
that I carry in the Basement
I was able to ease a lot of pain that I have in my Shoulders
and Neck.
I only had Twenty
Minutes
but by the time Kathy called me for supper it felt much better.

The
Sun
was already setting by the time we sat down to have the Leftover
Pepper Steak
from last night. By it setting overnight the flavours melded
together making it taste even better than
the first time. We also had the Leftover
Banana Cream Pie
for dessert.

When
we went on the Computers
this evening I received notice from Amazon
that all my packages had been shipped earlier today and were right on
schedule to be delivered next week. I’ll be writing
more about the One
package
and why we chose it over the many other choices. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I've got to say those cowboy nachos look awesome! My real weakness, Mexican food! Sounds like another good day here in paradise! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteDavid died of Multiple Myeloma, it is a cancer of the Plasma Cells.
ReplyDeleteWe too have a bug collection that must be addressed in the next day or two. Of course they only hit where I look out or Riley aims the camera.
I agree with Shirley, the cowboy nachos looked awesome.
It has been way too long since I have had my RV out in that area. In fact, it has been a long tome since I have had my motorhome on the road.
ReplyDeleteYou do live the good life.
