Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Celebrating with family

Not really With My family as they are not around. Yet I have memories of family around me.

01 Grandpa Loomis' Christmas tree (533x1024)

My Grandfather on Mom’s side carried creative genes (and might have passed some along). He put together this Christmas tree with parts and pieces of stuff and things.

02 Closeup of Grandpa Loomis' Christmas tree (768x1024)

Grandma would probably recognize her broken jewelry. The bottle caps may have been from jugs of Thunderbird wine, their favorite.

03 Grandpa Loomis' Christmas tree lit up (645x1024)

Mom hung this tree in her living room, all year long, and plugged it in every night.

04 Christmas tree and decorations Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

Then there’s my fake 18 inch tree…

05 Rhinestone earrings on Christmas tree (1024x768)

…decorated with Mom’s rhinestone earrings.

06 A Christmas Carol (768x1024)

Also a copy of A Christmas Carol given to my Grandmother in 1917, and I can’t find a copy write date in the book.

07 Aunt Helen's whistle (490x1024)

And my Aunt Helen carved this whistle.

 All these people have passed on so I feel very fortunate to have an adopted family.

08 Max, Cliff, Bob, Mike & Pete 

Patty and Darrel raised Mike and his four brothers with love and respect. I’ll spend Christmas with this caring family. Darrel is sick right now, although we all pray he’s made it through the worse. Chemo seems to have killed the stomach tumor yet he is scheduled for two more sessions. Then physical therapy to regain his strength. He’s known as “The Giant”, a Big man with a Big heart.

SWF–Tree view

030 (768x1024)

Last week after going out to breakfast Mike and I took a walk into the Sonoran desert. During winter the leafless trees often share a little gift in their branches.
