We are still recovering.  Every day it’s a bit better, but we are sure ready for 100%!  Which isn’t here yet.  Between Thom’s snoring and my being breathless, one of us is on the couch in the early morning.  When I can’t catch my breath (swollen nasal passages) I go to the couch so I can rest sitting up.  When Thom is snoring he goes to the couch so I can sleep.  Needless to say, neither of us is getting a full nights sleep on any night.

Whine!  Yup, I’d love a slice of cheese with that.

Because I’ve been wanting to get to Desert Garden’s rock and gem show before all the vendors go home, we decided to spend our energy today wandering down there.  I bought a few slabs to make cabs from.  I was hoping to find some Alexandrite but none to be found.  I did find a slab I’m anxious to work on.  I think I’m going to try to share it with you in photos from slab to finished, polished cab.

After we finished the Desert Gardens Rock ‘n Gem show we headed to our favorite vendor downtown and partook of our favorite snack - deep fried jalapeno cheese curds.

This is a shot of the vendor’s food stand.

and this is a shot of the cheese curds.  The curds and jalapeno are dipped in a tempura batter and then deep fried.  Thom orders the regular order (on the left) and I order the light on peppers (on the right).

ohhh YUM!

Now… if you are in the Quartzsite area and have a desire to try his wares (homemade lemonade is fantastic, corndogs are worth writing home about, and french fries and onion rings compare to the best of ‘em) he’s given us his schedule so we can find him as often as possible until we leave the area.  He’s given us permission to share it with you and if you take advantage of it, you will be very happy.

He’s here in Quartzsite at the food court in the Main Street vendors area in the Food Court (across from Pilot Gas) until President’s Day, February 15th.

-Tuesday, Feb. 16 thru 2o - Lake Havasu City, London Bridge, Mardi Gras
-March 5 - 22 - AVI Casino, Laughlin, NV, Parking Lot Market Place (in Tent, not Yellow cart)
-March 11-14 La Paz County Fair (Vendor Cart)
March 26 - 28 Laughlin Rodeo
-April 10-11 Bull Ride, Laughlin

If you don’t catch these guys here in Q, then be sure to look them up if you are in any of the other areas during the time they are there.  Everyone we’ve led to them come back and thank us.

By the way.  I mentioned the rain we had the other day.  It did come down very hard and very fast for a few minutes, but it did not, as others may have reported, fill the washes and create hazardous conditions on the roads.  Please don’t think Quartzsite’s weather is one extreme or the other.  Sure, Q gets super hot, and super wet, but that’s not the norm, usually it’s moderate according to the season.

Okay… it’s time for me to get my book and chill for a while before I go to bed wondering if it will be me or Thom on the couch tonight.  hehe.  Luckily, the couch is pretty comfortable for me and I can sleep pretty well sitting up with legs stretched out.
