She's Here!

She's Here! Aussiechick AKA Gill and her hubby Bob have arrived safe and sound at the Purrfect~Retreat. Luckily they boondocked close by ( I'll let Gill tell you where she boondocked !! :lol: ) so they did not have to drive far. Winds kicked up after a glorious Sunrise and blew pretty hard all day long into the evening. By 1P.M. you could not see the Gila Mountains from all the dust in the air.

Gill & Bob have a new dog they adopted that appeared to be abandoned when they were camped somewhere 40 miles from a town and Bob thought he heard a car door shut in the middle of the night and the next day there was a mutt on their doorstop. "Lucky Dog" is REALLY a lucky dog because they fell in love with him and he is the sweetest dog.

I'll post photo's tomorrow, could not get any tonight due to all the high winds.

Cooked them dinner and talked all evening and then called it a night early....we're getting old! :lol:

How neat! Do you think you can twist her arm a tad and get her to start posting again? Would love to have her here with us - been way too long!

Yes Gill wants to post so will get her on here as long as we can get her computer to do Java. If not she can use my other computer to chat with ya'll. You gals would love her she cracks me up with her Aussie slang!

Jenny, Gill, Bob & Dan in Mexico having lunch and listening to music, we had such a great afternoon together! We just love being around Gill & Bob

Lucky Dog, Lucky Dog is very smart and just loved all my attention but the cats were not amused they could not wander all around the yard because Lucky Dog would peek around the corner :o

Sunset in the West

We loved the visit from Gill & Bob, it is always a pleasure to have them come stay with us. They have moved over to the campground by the border for their Dentist visits but we are close by so will still see them often.
We have been told to NOT forget the Pegs & Jokers game if we go to visit them. So far the guys have been winning the most games...gurr :evil:
Thanks again for the wonderful pancake breakfast Bob made and Gill's wonderful Leg of Lamb dinner! It is so fun sharing meals together. I made my tater tot cassarole and Spaghetti too.

I'm so glad you had such a good time together - as I knew you would - I remember your last visit. I hope I get the chance to meet all of you - together or separately - one of these days. You're on my list - my list no longer includes just places, but, of course, lots of the great women from this forum.

No that is Gills Margarita....but she did let me have a couple sips :D I was drinking a Beer but I made some good Margaritas when we got home :lol: Yep Gill and I have had fun together, this is our 3rd time together and not the last! You just know when you have a friend you always want to be around and that is Gill & Bob. Yeah the guys were crowing like roosters winning the card game!! :evil: LOL

Can't be too mad though, Dan put together my buffet cupboard last night and it looks good in the casita. Now I just hope the kitchen cart comes soon...it's on back order :(

Looks like fun! That must be the same wind we have here. I'm going to get seasick with the TT rocking. Gwen had to get up in the middle of the night to rescue her chairs, and take in the windchimes which were bonging instead of tinkling.

I ran outside in my bathrobe to get the Sunrise photo to the giggles of my next door neighbor because she knows I am not an early riser! :lol: My Mom did not understand why I wanted to live in the desert till she saw our sunsets and then thought they were awesome!!
I'm a die hard shutterbug so I am bound and determined to get a good shot with the camera. I'm trying to teach Dan how to use it so I can get in the photo once in awhile! :roll: :lol:
