Football play-offs

 So nice to wake up to nice sunny warm weather.  Didn't sleep well last night for some reason and neither did Nick.  May be the traffic noise but not sure.  I had a new project in mind and that kept going over in my head.  All I need is one more chance to screw things up 😀

It was already 70 by the time I took Yuma for a walk and started breakfast.  Going to be a warm 80 this afternoon, but we're going to be indoors most of the day watching football play-offs.

View of snow capped mountains west of Indio taken from the parking lot.

We have great reception and were able to receive both games.  Unfortunately neither of the the two teams I was rooting for won 😖  Oh well.  I wish Cincinnati Bengals and the L.A. Rams well in the Super Bowl.  I really don't have a favorite right now.

No one has said anything to us all day here in the Walmart parking lot so we're going to stay one more night and head to Borrego Springs in the morning.  

I must say I do like it here in Indio and it wouldn't be hard for me to live here if I live another life 😁  However, we're all looking forward to moving on and do a little exploring now that the games are out of the way.

We had salmon for dinner and I must say it was delicious! 😋 First time I have ever cooked salmon!   I'll have to run into Walmart in the morning and get a couple more paddies for each of us.  That is unless the sticker shock hits me 😱

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. I guess it's warming up out there. The prediction is for snow here next week. It's too bad, when the teams you're rooting for get knocked out. Have safe trip to Borrego Springs.

    1. Thanks Dolly. At least I don't have any skin in the Superbowl. May the best team win.

    1. Thanks WeTwo. I really like that header too. Really gets the essence of Joshua Tree NP.

  3. If you are in the lot I think you are, no one seems to care. Our group has stayed there on several occasions. That was some exciting football, but with bad outcomes. I hope your new project turns out better than mine!!!

    1. I spent over $300 there so a couple nights didn't hurt them 😁 Both games were close. Sorry you missed the Fox game. I hope my project does the trick.

  5. Sad outcomes but good games from what I can tell (didn't watch, still upset with the whole situation with most pro-sports being full of spoiled millionaires.

    1. If it wasn't for the billionaires we probably wouldn't have pro sports. They are a greedy lot though.

  6. Am I the only one that wanted the Bengals?
    I know you will enjoy Borrego and Nick will get to meet the Snake!

  7. That was an interesting comment about Indio. It was always just a place we drove thru. But the mountain scenery is beautiful. Have a nice drive. Elva

    1. Thanks Patsy. I'm sure Nick will enjoy this area. The games were close. Could have fallen either way.
