What's Next?

There is definitely good news and there is bad news....Let's start with the good:

Sigh Me has almost fully recovered! (?)  Naturally she is eating everything in sight and wants to sit in my lap all day, non-stop.  I think she has discovered she is not invincible and it is making her insecure.  So now, I am looking for a good cat therapist and in the meantime I am massaging her hourly and feeding her only the best cat food money can buy.

My Quail family has returned and I am eagerly watching for a new crop of babies.    But, sadly, the quail are the only visitors I have had to the house.  There are no buyers--or lookers--anywhere.  The real estate agent held an open house last Sunday but no one came--at all.  So it looks like the house may be on the market for a long, long time.  And that means very little traveling for me.  Perhaps some short trips to Tombstone or San Diego but not for any long length of time.  

Do I miss traveling? More than I can say.  

A good friend sent me this book that is a diary.... 

but, after 2 years on the road, it remains full of blank pages.  (Subtitle:  "The uncensored confessions of a trailer camp tramp") 

 I think Cracker Barrel parking lots may impede hot and steamy romances. 

I am now re-adjusting my priorities.  Tucson in the winter is unbelievably beautiful and I have been enjoying this amazing weather.  But summer is fast approaching and I am sure it is going to be a scorcher.  The garden is finally in shape and I am starting to plant flowers and herbs.  

I have cleaned the RV and it is ready to go on a moments notice--or just for a short trip out into the desert when I start to get too depressed.

Somewhere in the bottom of the storage bin I have stashed a set of watercolors and oils.  After all of the art museums and galleries I have explored I am sure I can produce something at least to rival the above masterpiece I found on the Internet.  I did not take this picture--it's a publicity photo from a museum in Europe.   Anyway, it inspired me to try my hand at creating....anything.  (Do you think he/or she used live models for that display?) I think I will try flowers instead.

Until I am back on the road again I have decided to post in the blog only on Sundays.  Even then I will probably have little to say.  But It will remind me that I have not given up on traveling and I will keep you, my most loyal readers, apprised of any progress in that direction.
