Jeep Parts

Last week, I happened to poke my head in the computer room when the great white hunter was busy on the computer. His wallet and credit card were out on the desk. He has been telling me that there were some parts he needed for his beloved Jeep and that he was going to order them. So, I said, "Oh, you are ordering your parts." He says, "Yep, ordering my parts." Later in the week, he said something about his package should be coming soon. So, when I got the mail yesterday, there was this small package, addressed to my great white hunter. I sent him a email at work and told him that his package came but I really didn't think it was Jeep parts. He called me and told me to open it...........and here are the parts. Not sure where he was planning on putting them in the Jeep but we decided they looked a lot better around Nana's neck! I am so spoiled by that man! (DD says that he was paving the way for major $$$$ Jeep parts!)





Now remember that we have not had any measurable moisture in the Valley of the Sun for a long, long time. Spring is a very dry time in AZ. Our monsoon season starts about now. Some years that has meant a lot of storms and rain, other years, not so much. I was really surprised yesterday afternoon when Colin and I came out of Target to see a pretty black sky to the east of us. Then when the great white hunter called to tell me to open the Jeep parts box, he said it was really raining where he works across town. Later in the evening, the sky got really odd, everything got still...........and next thing you know, this is what we saw. That is lots of rain on my front porch! It rained like crazy for a while, stopped and next thing I knew the sun was shinning and the sidewalk was dry. It must have been pure steam rising from the 111 degree heat we had before the storm. Life in AZ in the summer time.

NOTE: Carol asked why it wasn't raining in the entire picture? It is one of those things that you just assume people would know until someone asks. I took this picture standing in the doorframe of my front door looking out. The part between me and the "veil" of rain is covered with a roof and that is why the rain just stops.



To any of you who come here expecting quilting things, I am sorry but I am in a quilting slump. I am, however, much more than a quilter so I keep posting. Thanks for stopping by.
