Adventure 789: Day 12/Tucson/2023

Nothing but a small trickle, a lot of mud, and some fresh memories as far as the water goes in the Rilloto River. Very soon there won't even be that. Beyond the change in the water runoff, not much to report in the adventure department. We've settled in quite nicely to our routine, although today was a bit special because Judy took our friends, the Kral's, to the airport so they could fly to Los Angeles for their seven day Mexican Cruise. We, meaning Judy, has the added pressure of taking care of their garden. Ginny Kral is an avid gardener, and she has an elaborate system in place to keep her plants from freezing. There are heat lamps, night coverings, and clever devices to keep the pack rats out. It's very impressive. Judy will handle the care with ease. I got in a three mile walk to Tai Chi class while Judy shuttled the Kral's away. That's how I'm able to report on the water level. On the highest note, the cribbage worm continues to favor me. I'm now up $.39 cents with ten days to play. In other exciting news, we cleaned house today: sheets in the wash, mops on the floors, me hugging commodes, dust rags on the flat surfaces, and a  vacuum for the rug. It's just like home. In our not so distant RV days, we would also have a "house" cleaning day. It feels good because as they say, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". We'll see if that's true when we attend church tomorrow morning. Basically, even in the mundane, life is good, especially today.

Buddha figurine of the day. I have no idea who she is, but she lives on the mantel.

Last week the water raged through this area dangerously. Today, it would be possible to walk across barely getting wet.
