NOV 18, 25.. RAIN.. IN SUNNY ARIZONA?

 This afternoon, as I was out and about, I couldn't help but notice that the skies were very dark.

I said to myself .. "The skies look like Rain Skies. I think I will shoot a few photos showing that not all of our days here in Arizona are sunny."

Do you all agree that the below are "Rain Skies?"

The next photo below looks up our street. You can see the very dark skies in the background.

The below photo looks at the dark skies behind our next door neighbors home.

After snapping the above photo, I was home and went indoors.

Then suddenly I heard rain outside. Out I went and snapped the below photos of our Courtyard in front our apartment.

Our parking lot behind our apartment.

Looking out front at our truck and the street.

After the rain ended, I went out to the store. When I returned I snapped the below photo looking up our street. 

Rain? Here in sunny Arizona? You betcha!

Smiling, Cap and Patti

I have got to say to Ginny .. "Thanks so very much Ginny for all of the assistance you gave me helping me to download the above photos!"

JAN 3, 24 .. RAIN?.. IN LAKE HAVASU CITY, ARIZONA!.. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!

RAIN?.. 

IN LAKE HAVASU CITY, ARIZONA! .. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024! 

The rain actually was a very pleasant experience!

Here we go Loop De Loop with a few (I promise) photos.

Our street. A rainy day.

Our Street. A sunny day.

Our Apartment Parking Lot.

Oops! 

Do all of you see the sun and the blue skies "lurking" in the distant background of the below photo?

Well "Guess What"? 

By the end of the day, "the sun won out" over the days rain!

Now for a "look see" at the nice patio outside of our apartment.

There you have it! A rainy day here in the Northern Arizona Desert.

No! 

Not one time today did Patti have to shade her eyes from the blazing Arizona sun!

We both are Oh So Happy to be "Wintering" down here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

NOV 30, 23 .. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS TO OUR THANKSGIVING DAY POST SHOWING OUR APARTMENT

On our Thanksgiving Day post, we showed many photos of our apartment here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

I have gone back and added several additional photos to that post.

And! Just like yesterday's newspaper, no one will be going back to re-read a week old post.

So here is the update.

The below photo was the 11th photo in the NOV 23, 23 Post.

 

In the above photo, what is the object sitting on a white base and looking across the street?

It's Moyo! He guards our apartment!

Here is a closer look at him!

I am just teasing you. 

I know the above photo doesn't really show you much. 

Here are frontal photos of Moyo, our sweet little Bear Mascot. 

I also added the below photo showing our GMC Suburban parked on the street in front of our apartment building.

I know! Who cares? 

These additions just make the post showing our apartment a little bit more complete.

NOV 23, 23 .. THANKSGIVING DAY.. WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR OUR LAKE HAVASU CITY APARTMENT

Deep Breath.. Let it out slowly..

It has been almost one full month since I last published a Post here on Blogspot! 

That says all you need to know about the past month in our lives. Getting ready to leave Anchorage and come down here to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, to spend the winter took a lot of effort for both of us!

THANKSGIVING DAY 2023

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who follow us here on Blogspot.

Patti and I hope that each and everyone of you will be surrounded by family, friends, and good cheer. Patti and I have several options for our Thanksgiving Day. We have been invited out to celebrate the day with a large meal. We declined the offer. The two of us will chair an Alcathon meeting at The Sun Club at 3:30pm and that will be the extent of our socializing today.

We are still fatigued from settling into our apartment here in Lake Havasu City so we just want to relax and be quiet.

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -

We two are so very, VERY THANKFUL, to be here. So we wanted to share, through the below photos, our apartment.

First a few photos showing just.. 

"What we left behind in Anchorage, Alaska."

My solemn promise to all of you : You will NOT see one iota of snow in all of the following photos!

First we flew South to Laughlin, Nevada for a four night visit with our good friends Tom and Ginny.

It was Tom and Ginny who got Patti and me up into Kingman, Northern Arizona, back in 2017.

When we are in Laughlin visiting Tom and Ginny, we always stay at The Edgewater Casino Hotel.

Looking back across the Colorado River at The Edgewater.

OUR APARTMENT

It was our great friend Michael who got us to Lake Havasu City.

We are so thankful to be here and for our apartment.

Stepping out our front door, and walking to the left, we see the below views.

In the above photo you can see Moyo.

Moyo is a sweet little Bear who watches out for our apartment building.

The below photos look back at the front of our small apartment building.

Now we will walk up the below steps.

The below photo was taken with my back pressed up against the other side of the Palm Tree in the above photo.

Patti and I really love the open area you see in these photos.

Looking back towards the street.

Our mail box.

The open door behind the two trees in the below photo is our apartment entrance.

Inside our modest, but extremely pleasant, apartment we go.

Our kitchen area.

Our bedroom.

Last, but not least, we park Black Beauty, our GMC Suburban, in two locations. 

In back of our apartment complex.

And equally often, in front of our apartment complex "on the street".

There you have it. Life in Arizona during the winter in our sweet little apartment here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

We wish you all a joyous day to Give Thanks For Your Blessings.

Cap and Patti
