Warm, good days..

Finally I have fixed my Internet connection and can write more. IT took the computer guy about 1 1/2 minutes to click on this and that and there ya go. I am hooked into a neighbor's service and you can't beat the price. $5 a month. Wahoo. Verizon was $60 and they don't serve this wee little pocket of the US.

So, life at the Taylor Ranch is good and fine. It's warm, usually up in the 70-90 range and though it can be cool at night, it's not damp, snowing, fixin' to storm or any of that nonsense that wrecks havoc with my body.
My hands don't hurt much and my knees aren't nearly as sore. My neck is till pretty messed up and I am seeing a pain specialist just up the road.. Hoping he can help me get better relief. We'll see. He was a neurosurgeon and messed up his shoulder so he can't do those long surgeries anymore. I'll know more in a few days.

Last Friday was nice and hot here so we took the motor boat down river to "The Gorge" and it is so bee-utiful. you can't believe it. Filled with interesting peaks and fractures of rock and formations. We found a tiny beach big enough for Dean, Judy and I and our picnic stuff and rested up until the sun went behind a ridge.
The speed limit is about 5 mph so it's nice and quiet. Dean hooted and the echo rebounded four times! It was a great day. We made it back to the landing in Needles just before it was too dark. It did get a bot chilly on the river once the sun went down. We saw a water snake, heron, hawk and a very large fish of some sort.

So, Iam adusting to being an Arizonian - Got my driver's license and license plates. Found a pharmacy, Mexican market, casino (for cheap breakfasts!), hair salon...and I am church hunting. We live out in the countryside and there are roosters, barking dogs, goats and cows, horses and crows. I enjoy Dean and Judy everyday and feel so blessed to be here. They are  most gracious and alot of fun. Fun is therapeutic. God knows I need it!

The LORD is good and faithful...
Until next post. I have a few stories to compose.
