April was a month of highs and lows.
Half the fun for me is to let other people drive it, which means, I have had a lot of fun with it!
The girls and I had a Thelma and Louise day, taking the car up to Oatman for lunch. We decided we are all Louise, and the car is Thelma.
Liz and Randy, and Mike and Julie were still in the yard, so we had a great time just enjoying retirement.
My favorite was the day we brought everything to make quesadillas, and stopped at one of the many picnic spots for lunch.
Mid April brought more first time visitors to the PPP. Two of my childhood friends made the trip out here for vacation. Paul and I picked Linda and her fiance Alan up in Vegas, and the 4 of us made an overnight stop at the Grand Canyon.
By the time we got back to the house, Rita and her husband Ed had already arrived and been greeted by our stand in hosts, Mike and Julie.
I was looking forward to a great time, and I wasn't disappointed! Although the weather didn't cooperate, we still had a great time-
More outings in the Mustang...
Dinners on the back deck..
A game night that had us laughing ourselves silly..
And a Dance Party..
They even surprised me with an early birthday party !
We had a great time- I hope they come back soon!
Unfortunately, as soon as my friends left, the month went from the high to the low. We knew our cat, Dozer was having problems eating, and things got worse in April. Finally we knew it was time to let him go.
He had plenty of adventures during his 16 years with us, and was more well traveled than many people. He even wrote a blog post about his Alaska adventure.
From Newfoundland to Alaska, he had lots of opportunities to explore the great outdoors.
Of course, like most cats, he had to check everything out...
And usually managed to be in the way....
But mostly he was a great companion, and his loss will leave a large hole in our lives.
Looks like you continue having fun.
ReplyDeleteDozer will be sadly missed.
Be Safe.
It's about time.
