Yep, it is true. Today hit 75 degrees out here in the Sonoran Desert! Yahoo! I was up around 8 a.m. and took a cup of tea and my bible outside and sat. The chair seat was hot by that time of day. Usually, at Quartzsite last week, one had to wear a coat and winter hat outside that early. So I just enjoyed the morning in the sun. Dale and I will take an Arizona tan back to Oregon.

Dale took Morgan for a bike ride. Morgan was up and ready to go and had a hard time waiting for Dale to get everything together and on his bike. They were gone for about an hour and poor Morgan walked into camp, tongue hanging. She was panting so hard. We brought her in an let her drink a little water and tried to cool her off. One thing the desert doesn't have is a place to take a swim. So, no more bike rides for Morgan unless Dale gets out of bed very early to do so. The rocks here seem to be really sharp and compacted together and they hurt her pads.

While Dale was bike riding, I finished reading a book I was in. "Dark of the Moon" by John Sanford. I'm a fan so it was a good read. After fixing lunch, we headed into town to buy eggs at the little country market. It was small. Then we took off on all the roads we could find just to see the area. Lot of dune buggying going on here. They even have the Parker 400 Race December through February here. I guess this race draws a lot of people to the area.

We are having tuna casserole for dinner with a big salad. Then relaxing some more. I could get use to this, you know!!!
