Day 38 - Feb 15th - Ajo Desert

Sunday Morning - Up and do our Sunday Morning ritual - weigh in and check blood pressure. Neither one of our weights are desirable - Oh well, what the hell !! Blood pressure good for both of us. Mine down lower than it has been for a while - This relaxing in the desert must be agreeing with me. Then Oatmeal and toast for breaky, then for a walk in the desert. Great Sunrise pics, and then some great ones on the desert as well. Decided to go into town near lunch time. First to the view point for the mine as it was not open the other day, but it was this AM. We each took a stitched photo panorama of the compete pit. An elderly gent who volunteered gave us a lot of history of the site. When asked if all the copper was removed he advised that it was not and new owners had planned on opening the mine again as early as this spring, but with the lag in the economy and the price drop of copper the decided to delay. Not sure when they might start again, or what the price of copper has to be to make it economical. For lunch, denice had her lips wrapped around a DQ Hamburger with a peanut Buster parfait for desert. She was sure the DQ was open the other day, but when we drove up today it appeared to be closed for some time, so we went up the street to a cafe that John and Brenda had recommended. It is called Marcela's. Hamburgers were BIG and GOOD!! No dessert required. Returned to our desert home and relaxed in th PM.Took some pics of the same small sparrows at our feeder again. No sunset tonight. It just fizzled out and went down without any fanfare. After soup and a toasted cheese sandwich for supper, we were just sort of lazing around and Denice stepped on the entrance carpet, and one of those little devils of a thorn was in the carpet and imbedded itsely in her foot. OUCH ! OUCH ! Dr. Lang to the rescue with the tweezers, but of course I broke the end off, and then had to dig. More choice language from the patient about entering the House with my shoes on and bringing in thorns in when some people are walking around in their bare feet !!!Well, I spent some time with a flashlight and tweezers removing any more that I could find. Hopefully I'm forgiven. Sorry Denice!!

P.S. Are we sure Dennis is the culprit for bringing them in?????? Let' not go there!
