Desert Sunsets

I wouldn't know about the sunrises but the sunsets are a nightly show of magnificence. As we are facing due west, we look through the valley pass at the right, shown here made by San Jacinto Mtn and Big Bear, I sit here and just love the changing sky. Today at 5 p.m., the moon was out as well, right above the tram station up the mountain. I can't figure it out, but then the whole sky lights up 360 degrees around you. We've often walked into the road looking all around to see it best. I think of Mom so much and her love of the sunsets we watched sitting on the boardwalk at Crescent Beach as kids, with the smell of salt air surrounding us.
Busy week this. We went to Barry and Joan's over at Outdoor Resorts Monday with 8 of us, then we moved to Desert Pools Tues. Wed. we went down to Thousand Palms for a lovely visit and dinner with Margo and Jim, old friends since Crescent Beach in 1963.
Thursday was the bathing suit fashion show in which I modeled and managed to buy a new suit, shirt, sweater and flip flops at fabulous prices, ($55.00for the lot). It was a lot of fun, changing in the back kitchen with 7 other women, then dashing out to walk sedately up to the stage, show off the suit and back for 3 more changes.
