I never get sick...famous last words! Over a week ago I was broadsided by a nasty virus that has had me practically bedridden for over a week. Low-grade fever, deep chest cough, unrelenting nausea. Not nearly as serious as some, no need to sit in an urgent care facility with dozens of others, no antibiotics (not bacterial), no appetite. No gatherings with local friends, though Kathie and Bob did stop by and she brought me soup and crackers, bless her heart! Not exactly the tri-tip dinner we had planned to grill on our new propane Weber, along with local fresh asparagus and strawberries from a nearby farm stand. Though the major symptoms have dissipated, the weakness and malaise persists.
So virtual company through blogs and Facebook has provided much mind-diverting entertainment and taken me to happy places. Seeing photos of sprouting desert flowers, more gorgeous sunsets, hikes, beaches, travels to places added to my ever-growing list, and knowing
this too will pass, prompted me to dig back a few years and contribute a few of my own wonderful memories. These were taken in 2010, before the drought hit Anza Borrego and recent rains had produced a bounty of beauty.

After extending our stay at Lake Cahuilla several days longer than planned, we've finally hit the road heading for the Tucson Mountain area, and looking forward to putting this whole episode behind and having some fun. Thank you again for the hours of pleasure and entertainment in an otherwise sickly week. Lesson learned...
Never say never!
