Bad NANCY!!

 When you're on a different schedule than most everyone else in the world, it's hard to fit in quietly.  If you have your own little home you tow around with you, it's SO much easier.

There's no early morning coffee to wake me up and make for better blog writing.  There's just fuzzy headed me trying to type on my computer while sitting on the edge of the bed.  The word is always QUIET.  Be quiet so you don't wake up Cyndae, while chasing Cooper who is chasing his ball around the living room.

I try to sleep in, but it's not happening as I lay awake staring at the ceiling.  Bad Nancy also forgot to take pictures of just about everything yesterday.  I promise I'll shape up ... after a couple cups of coffee, maybe around noon.

The weather couldn't be more perfect.  A slight breeze all day long with temps in the mid 70's.  Cooper chased his ball in the back yard for an hour.  I think this totally new-to-him kind of life has him a little bit nervous since he's refusing to eat.  I was hoping walks would help, but it was only the roasted chicken from the store that brought him around.  He's a nervous Nelly.  Hmmm sound familiar?

We finally got going about 10:00, headed straight to the quilt store.  There are several around here and this one was fabulous.  I was so mesmerized by the gorgeous fabric I've never seen before that I didn't take ONE SINGLE PICTURE!!!  

I tried hard not to buy anything, but with beautiful cowboy-ish backing fabric on sale, how could I resist.  It's now resting peacefully in my truck .... with no pictures.  I'm shaking my head.  At least I did remember to snap a photo of this aloe plant in Cyndae's back yard.  This is something I've been looking for to grow in Arizona.  Weird it shows up in central California.

After the quilt shop, we made a detour down the road a bit to check out the new 1100 houses they are building ... yes 1100 ... in several different subdivisions side by side.  I have to admit the houses are really nice and set far apart, unlike the 10' apart ones in Arizona where you can hear your neighbor's toilet flush.

These also had all tile roofs and many had RV parking structures attached to the house.  This might be a really nice place to live!!  The most interesting part .... there was no grass to be seen at any of the houses.  There was only some shrubs, maybe one tree and lots of pampas grass.  It gave me several ideas for my back yard ... maybe even my front yard

A trip to Safeway garnered lots of fun Memorial Day Weekend stuff to eat ... fajitas, chips and salsa and lots of fresh fruit.  How nice to have a great place to shop just down the street.  There was one caveat ... the chicken I buy at Safeway in Vail at $2.99 a pound is $6.79 a pound here.  YIKES!!!  

I'm also impressed that this neighborhood is so quiet.  No big parties, no street racing, no loud music all night long ... amazing!!

I'm not sure exactly what's in store for today ... it will be hours before anyone else wakes up.  If nothing else, I'm determined I will NOT be Bad Nancy again ..... I WILL take pictures!!!
