Saturday, February 24 – Saturday, March 3
The crew and I are camped at Midland LTVA near Blythe, California.
What we’ve been up to this week . . .
Mostly Reggie, Roger, and I stay at camp. I bought the boys a pack of beef bones (American “made”) which provide outside entertainment.
Roger likes to stretch out on one of the big pillows to gnaw on a bone, something he will do for an hour or more. Occasionally he’ll take a break and roll on his side and soak up the sunshine.
Reggie requires more attention.
The bones are fine entertainment for a few minutes, until he notices I’m not doing anything that he considers important.
“Here, RVSue . . . . You need something to do. You could play Fetch The Badger with me.”
“Reggie, go chew your bone, honey. I wanna’ read.”
Oh no, not The Stare.
“Oh, all right. Give me that thing.” . . . you little badger.
(Actually, now that I’ve given it some thought, that toy is a hedgehog. Oh, well.)

One day we roll into Blythe with a load of laundry. Another day I spend time at the bank and also browse a thrift store.
At Ace Hardware I buy a cast iron skillet.
I already have a small cast iron skillet. The new one is slightly larger. I bought it because its diameter matches the diameter of my favorite flour tortillas. Amazon has it:
Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron 8-Inch Skillet
Speaking of food . . .
(Something I seem to do a lot of lately!) I notice Smart and Final has a variety of Asian marinades and sauces. I’d like to try them but they’re sold in restaurant-size containers. It would be fun to make stir-fry vegetables-with-chicken on the griddle. Rice on the side. I should write down the names of the sauces and then look them up on the internet.
There’s always something to keep me amused. The crew has bones and a stuffed badger; I have food.
I thought I’d be at the griddle today.
After a balmy, calm morning, the wind whistles through here, blowing over the lounger before I get out there to put it away.
The wind puts the nix on using the griddle. It doesn’t matter. The other day I griddled a huge batch of sausage, peppers, and onions for a day such as this.
After this post is done, I’ll make a nice, fat burrito with some of those leftovers, using my new skillet on the stove.

Every day we go for a walk or two . . .
And every day I take the crew to visit their pals.
I tried to skip a visit today because of the wind blowing so much dust. Reggie and Roger wouldn’t allow a change of schedule. You never saw such a fuss!
Imagine the two of them planted by the door, whining and pawing the door and the rug, running up to me to pounce on my legs, being pests.
Of course, they get their way and we sprint through the dust to Del’s camp.
At least the air is warm. I don’t bring my camera because of the dust. These photos were taken previously.
That’s it for our big news, coming to you from our camp in the Colorado Desert!
