St Patty's and Friends

Back in January while we were in Palm Desert, Holly planted some tulips we had brought along. They are starting to bloom and really look nice here in the desert.  Plus... I will say that my Christmas cactus has continued to bloom the entire time we've been in the desert.  And my orchid is looking better than ever and it's on it's second year.  Like humans, plants like the warmth & sunshine :-)

We visited Jay and Judy Cox (who actually live across the street in Sun Vista).
Judy had a wonderful spread of heavy hors d'oeuvres & cocktails.  And they
invited some of their friends for us to meet.  It was a great time.

There's Judy in the purple.  I wish I had taken more pics. 

Judy and Jay's park model is on the back wall of their huge park.  This is their
view out the back.  I believe these are the Gila Mountains.
