...the desert sun is brutal. It's dry here, and when there's breeze, you get out of the pool and wow, chilly, when it's 94 degrees! It's to be hotter today, 99, and 103 on Tuesday and Wednesday. We've avoided sunburns so far, by swimming in the late afternoon.
Paul takes the dogs out for their early morning jog, it settles them for a while. He came upon a donkey this morning, a donkey that was no longer rambling about, waiting to be buzzard brekky. Donkey's on the left of the cactus.
We haven't done much here yet, as it's so hot to be out and about. We want to go to Pleasant Lake today, we'll see. Yesterday we went to Fry's, a nice big grocery store, and you know what a nerd I am about grocery stores. It was overstimulating. My head was spinning. We bought some 93% burger for only $3.50 a pound, and grilled the best burgers for dinner. :)
Camille and I think it's like playing house, staying here. It's like a Black Mirror house. Google, close the blinds. Google: closing eleven blinds, and down go the blinds. It's a huge house, with four bathrooms and an entire extra living room upstairs on the landing. The kitchen is fantastic. The oven had a recent software update, and it's also a functioning air fryer. Camille and I tested it out yesterday with some frozen chicken fillets, it worked beautifully. Riley is an amazing cook, so he has all the gadgets and seasonings too. The floor vac comes on and cleans up all the dog hair, and empties into it's docking station. The cleaning closet is full of vacuum cleaners, for other tasks.
So we're enjoying our stay here in the desert, but I am missing the kids back home...

Hi Della!
It’s very dry, isn’t it? It’s quite dry where I live, but you do have to slather yourself in lotion. The pictures are lovely 😊 When my daughter would be there with the kids when they were younger they would swim etc in the mornings and after lunch would go somewhere with a/c……..indoors. The afternoon heat is brutal. It will be fun to play with all the gadgets though eh? 😊 A nice place to wander through is Kierland Mall. It’s an outdoor mall and all lit up at night……so pretty! The stores are all designer stuff…..people like us don’t shop there, but fun to look. If you go do it at night. Cooler and the lights are so pretty. Lots of nice restaurants too.
Have fun at the lake!
