Quartzsite photos - Big Tent, Bloggerfest, and friends

Below is a Birthday Breakfast photo - we were celebrating Jeanne's birthday at Bad Boy's Cafe.  Best Breakfasts Ever!  :)

Me (Barbara), Nancy, Jeanne, Kim





I had a nice visit with Kim, Sandie and Jim, Dale, and Donna:

And some pics I took while walking inside and around The Big Tent in Quartzsite:


The woman below was selling Holy Honey - the honey that got me hooked last year.  This time I bought three times as much:  lemon infused, cinnamon infused, and peppermint infused.  So good in coffee and tea, and I'm sure lots of other things.  It tastes like the inside of a See's Candy - a small amount on a spoon is like eating a rich candy filling.




Sunset views of some of the hills I could see through my windows:


Bloggerfest 2017.  I got the feeling many bloggers didn't know about the event this year.  There weren't many of us long-time bloggers present, and the group was far smaller.  I enjoyed hearing about each attendees reason for blogging, how long they had their blogs, etc.  We went around the circle and everyone told their blogging story.  Some interesting stories, and all interesting people. 




My two favorite dog-faced people at BloggerFest 2017.  Both beautiful dogs, and the little girl on the left had the cutest face.  When she sat down, she'd put her butt on her owners shoe, like a bench.  They were darling and very well behaved.  Had to give them a shout-out!


My two partners-in-crime with whom I attended the BloggerFest:  Kim and Diana.  We all had a good time!


Katie just ❤❤  LOVES  ❤❤ Kim!  Notice how she's half sitting on Kim's lap?

Another beautiful Quartzsite sunset - the colors were gorgeous!


Katie and I left Quartzsite last week and drove to Yuma to meet up with Kim, Jeanne, Nancy, and Tom.  I scheduled an appointment to turn in the paperwork for my first Passport - no, I've never had a passport before so I had to appear in person.  I got that done, so now I'll have to wait three to six weeks for it to arrive in the mail.  I may never use it, but...  If the opportunity arises, I'll be ready to fly to Paris - or anywhere else!

The five of us hung out at one of the casinos, crossed the border into Mexico for dental appointments, lunch and general walking around.  We did a lot of visiting, took a lot of walks, had a couple of dinners together, and one by one, left for different locations.  Katie and I will be driving back to Quartzsite in a few days.  

From me and Katie, have a great day, everyone!  😉😎😀

  1. I have seen several bloggers since the event who hadn't seen any advertisement for it. Good reminder to 'talk it up' next year as soon as we get the date. I have a couple of rv forums that i could post the info on.

    1. Yes, Anne, I was waiting to get more info and was planning a post about it again. But I got the follow-up the night before, too late. I agree, next year, let's try to get the word out. Early and a few times after the location/time are determined. :)

  2. It was so fun to meet you and Kim. I've been following both your blogs for years, so felt I already knew you. Looking forward to spending more time with you both sometime in the future. Btw, you linked to my family blog above. My RV travel blog is http://driveonup.blogspot.com/

  5. We were only in "Q" two days. The weather was so nasty. We drove around a couple of the La Posa parks looking for you but never did see your rig.

  9. We enjoyed meeting you but we'll make it more of a visit next winter. We'll be back in Quartzsite around Dome Rock next week.
    It was still cool/cold for Blogger-Fest so hopefully that will be better next winter as well.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.
