The view from the Motorhome
Snow on the grill and smoker
Quite a view from the back of the adobe hacienda
The rock formations are amazing
Saguaro's and snow on the mountainWe woke up this morning to find that it had rained rather vigorously overnight. It was quite cloudy and about 10:00 this morning the skies opened and it began to hail. It hailed/snowed for about 10-15 minutes. It must have been cold at the higher elevations as it was about 50 degrees at ground level. We went for a drive after lunch, and the Superstition Mountains had turned white! We were told that this only happens about every 4 or 5 years. There were people all over taking pictures (us included).
Yesterday (Saturday) was a golf day for me. Wayne and I played the same 9 as last Tuesday. I managed to better my last score by 1 stroke. I parred 2 holes on this nine, and had 2 shots at making a birdie. Maybe next time. We are going out tomorrow afternoon for the last time as Wayne and Tary are heading for Montana on Tuesday. I am going to have to recruit a new partner.
Our first baseball game comes up on Tuesday. The weather will be mostly clear and in the low 70's. Should be just about perfect. Ron and Jan (Seattle friends) are coming down on the 8th, but will be spending a couple of days in Yuma before hanging out somewhere in this area for a few days. That will keep us busier than normal for a few days.
We will be taking a day trip to Yuma on Saturday the 5th to visit my brother and sister in law, and for me to check out the "Midnight at the Oasis" car show. It's about a 200 mile run one way, so we will need to get an early start to get back here before dark. If we make it back by 6:30, I can play Hand and Foot!
We have a BBQ planned for this Thursday, for our neighbors who have taken me out on the UTV adventures. I'm planning on doing a overnight brisket cook. We went to the Mining Camp restaurant today to buy some of their home made barbecue sauce. I had it with the beef ribs when we ate there a couple of weeks ago, and thought it was an outstanding sauce for beef.
So that's about it for now, and as Paul Harvey would say, "Stand by for the rest of the story."

What crazy weather.
It sounds like your getting pretty good at golf, you need to start practicing your autograph.
More great pictures (screen saver material), Thanks...Diane
