Coachela Valley Reserve

We were off to meet friends. People we hadn't seen in 7 years.
Our last time together was a missions trip to Ensenda Mexico- to build a community centre.
It had been awhile since we chatted. We were a little early for our meeting and we came across this gem in the middle of the desert.

Where's Rudy? The palm trees were amazing








and just when we thought it couldn't get any more beautiful-an oasis in the desert-wow






I'm standing behind a bush of thorns

God takes everyone he loves through a desert. It is his cure for our wandering hearts, restlessly searching for a new Eden....The best gift of the desert is God's presence..The protective love of the Shepherd gives me courage to face the interior journey ,Paul E. Miller
Love this quote
We made it to our friends place. You guys rock Ev and Henry thanks for your hospitality. Thanks for walking alongside us and thanks for your prayers .

Living Desert Zoo 2015



Love looking at Christmas Lights



And goofy kid trains




And Camel Rides? Yup it was fun. 
And just for fun I looked up some camel quotes. 
Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel 
G.K. Chesterton
It is easier to make a camel jump a ditch than make a fool listen to reason. Turkish Proverb

No camel route is long, with good company -Turkish Proverb.
Life is like a camel ;you can make it do anything except back up .-Marcelene Cox
Why random facts? Not sure -maybe I miss the grand kids too much. Maybe I didn't really think there would be quotes about camel's -yet here they are. Maybe I just needed to have some happy thoughts.

And you know I was a little fearful of getting on the back of a camel-but it was kinda fun. 






And they even had some dinosaurs at the zoo


And then it was time to say goodbye to my munchkins






Safe travels to you. 




Disneyland 2015









































The Joys of Disneyland. I'm like a kid with their first puppy. My heart got all warm and fuzzy as soon as I entered the gates of Disney. A place of laughter , fantasy-make belief. Where you really don't leave your realities behind, but for a few enchanted hours you can bask in the fun of someone Else's vision. A party it seems thrown just for you. And a fun party it was. And you probably will think I'm carzy-crazy but the line up to see Mickey Mouse- with a room full of hyper, screaming children-lets just say -I got my picture and I'm still smiling.
