..on the road...

We're heading to Vegas, baby! But first..a stop over in Calico to rest..and to let Essa explore!
Her and Tippy did well during the drive.. Tippy doesn't mind the dog as long as Essa keeps her distance! Hopefully, in time, Tippy will come around and not be such a poopie-head!
Essa sleeps in her crate during the nite..and I only heard her whimper at 12:49 am and again at 2:01. I was tempted to get up and let her out..but resisted and fell back asleep.
Tim and I were awake by 5 am..and by 6 am..Essa finally woke up. She waits patiently while we make our pot of coffee and for us to get our shoes on.
She is such a good dog..she's so easy goin!!
After doing her business outside.. and shivering..(it's Coldddd here in Calico this morning..only about 45!) .. she's ready to play for a bit..and then its back to cuddle time! :)

Heading on the road in a bit for Vegas.. can't wait to mee up with our friends for the Annual Chili Cookoff! Friends of ours in Vegas do this annually..and even give out trophies!!! This will be our first year attending...and I hope our chili places!! :)
But first .. tonite's events include a cocktail and tattoo party at 3pm!!!!!!
Who will be brave enough to get ink'd????

..lets cuddle!!

let the laundry pile up..
let the dust bunnies collect..
i say..let the cuddle time last allll day!

...Meet our new baby!!

Escape with me to Big Bear

~Big Bear Lake~
ahhhhh...Tim and I escaped to Big Bear this past week..and had the pleasure of cuddling up in the RV while listening to the pitter patter of raindrops on our roof :)




Such a sweet sound...especially when rain or any sort of moisture is rare in southern California!
Oh how I miss the downpours..the sideways rainstorms..the wind..the excitement of the East Coast weather fronts that used to blow thru :(

While Tim "worked" ..I got to explore and make new friends.. such as the one below that I nicknamed "Gimpy".
Gimpy had a back right foot that was swollen and caused him to walk with a gimp..and he even sat funny! He loved the tortilla chips and leftover dog food that I found..and trusted me enough to come right up and take it from my hand :)




(Tippy can never see these pictures or know of this..or he would never purr for me again!!)






Simple things such as clouds after a storm..and the delicate flowers that surrounded our campsite kept me and my camera busy while I relaxed.





I can't wait to return..maybe in November.. and hope for a chance of snow flakes to fall...ahhhhhh life is good :)

hot hot hot

It's been sooo hott here all week...this weekend..we are doing nothing but floating in the pool!!
Hope everyone is keeping Cool!!
