A Plain 'ol Plane

The auctioneer and a helper's hand.
Shade for the crowd, but it was too cold to sit there. Really!

We attended an auction just a couple of blocks from our house the other day. It was fun as auctions usually are with a chance to people watch as well as to get involved in the excitement of the bidding. Well, bidding is exciting when you win and get a good price; not so exciting if you lose the bid and then kick yourself for the next week because you didn't go just one more... That's what happened to me with a sewing table that I really wanted, but stopped when the price went to $90. I've been kicking myself ever since. I did bid on a yard blower and vacuum that I got for $12.50...oh joy of joy!

Sara's Therapy

After Sara got her cast off of her broken leg, she was unwilling or unable to walk on it, so she had swimming therapy in the Colorado River. She wasn't crazy about it, but it did strengthen that leg. Now she, mostly, walks on all four.

Beauty in the Desert

Saguaro cactus in the KOFA Wilderness near Yuma. If you look closely, you can see an aerostat, a tethered radar balloon, that keeps an eye out for low flying aircraft that may be part of a drug smuggling operation out of Mexico. Click on the photo to see it more clearly.
