Spring is definitely beautiful in the desert; the desert is so green and full of little purple, white, yellow & orange wildflowers. There are so many California Poppies that it makes me homesick!
Today we took a cruise on the Desert Belle up into the canyon of Saguaro Lake.
The lake was full of boaters, fishermen & SeaDoo’s. It looked a little cold to me but there were plenty of skiers & kids on tubes. The boat was a nice double decker houseboat type of boat and gave us a leisurely ride up the canyon. Paul thought he hit the jackpot when they said a live band & happy hour! The band was 1 guy on the piano and a girl that could really play a Sax! She sang pretty well also.
I always get to chat with a very unlikely person whenever we go out and todays visit was a guy that had beautiful long black hair and a beer gut who was traveling with his 2 preteens, girlfriend and 2 elderly aunts from East Texas. People will tell you their life story and never ask you about yours which I find so interesting and really enjoy. Paul noticed while I was chatting with this guy (who I never asked or got his name!) that his aunt was wearing a t-shirt from PBR which until yesterday morning we had no idea what it was – Stephanie was going and had to explain the language to US!
And then there is always the fashion disaster!
It wasn’t a perfect sunset but it was pretty cool to be riding on the lake and watching the sky change. We arrive back at the dock about 6:30 and were treated to…
