Modeling the new sweatshirt jacket :)

I've been asked for a photo of me wearing my new sweatshirt jacket, so when Debbie and Gayle came over for a visit, I asked Debbie to take a couple of pictures.

Here's the jacket.  I really love it.  It's so pretty, I think, and more colorful than my normal attire, and it's really comfortable.  I'm happy I left my "frugal" home the day I found it.  :) 


Before I stood up, Debbie said she liked the "Katie sitting in my lap" pose and wanted to snap that first.  So we stayed there for a quick pic before taking the jacket photo.  I seldom post photos of myself, in fact I seldom have photos of me, but I liked the Katie and me part, so I thought I'd post it, too.

Here we are, "The Palms Girls."






Yesterday morning I looked out the window, and there was a big balloon getting ready to take off right on the other side of the wash.  Talk about colorful! 





I remember a few of you posting about going up in a balloon, but it's something I've never done.

This has been the best, most fun of my three visits to Quartzsite.  I was able to visit with lots of people I already knew, I met a bunch of new people I really like, the weather was perfect, I was able to visit The Big Tent Event this year and stroll through all the small vendor booths and make some purchases that were either needed or fun.   It's been a really good Quartzsite season.  I can't believe I'll be here almost four months by the time I leave for Hot Springs or Pilot Knob.  I've never stayed in one area this long before.  The time just flew by. 

We're leaving next week and looking forward to our next adventures.  :)

From me and Katie, have a great day everybody!  :)

  3. Love the jacket. I've seen that style at loads of flea markets and each one is unique. We haven't "done" the Quartzsite experience when it's in full swing and may plan on doing so next winter. Glad you had fun. I'm new to your blog and look forward to reading more about you and Katie.

  6. Wow, it sure has gone by fast. I, too, love the jacket; it's pretty, practical, colorful, unique . . . what more can I say? Except, you look great in it and I love your hair. You need more photo ops for you and Katie. Great pix.
    You know, I've thought I'd never want to go to Quartzite. I 'm thinking I need to reconsider!

  11. I love the jacket, and great picture of you in it! I'm glad you've enjoyed being at Quartzite - I don't know if I could take more than a week of it :-)

  12. What a splendid picture of you - and Katie, too. She really looks like she knows that her portrait is in the making! Can dogs know that? You look so happy, and the jacket is really attractive. It is nice to have at least one special jacket like that for tossing on at any time you want to look extra spiffy with not a lot of effort. Good choice!

    Virtual hugs,

    Judie

    1. Thanks, Dave, that's a good idea, I'm going to change the photo right now. I didn't like the current one that much, but I liked the way Katie was looking at me - it was cute of her. I'll see if the new one will fit if I crop it. :)

  15. Love both photos!

    I was thinking the other day, that the RV community seems small as you seem to have met with so many you knew already. It has to be great to have friends at almost every stop!

    (and your hair got longer... which makes you look so much younger!).
