This blog is for family and friends to keep up with our comings and goings. We will also post favorite recipes, desert gardening tips and hints, craft and quilting projects, etc. We live in an old mining town 35 miles southwest of Las Vegas, NV. The town has a population of approximately 250 brave souls. We have lived here 40 years and have learned alot about having a successful garden in the high desert. I do alot of baking, cooking, canning, quilting, sewing, tole painting and most needlework. We have wonderful mountain views, wild horses, old mines, miles and miles of trails and just a wonderful rural experience close to a large city. Life couldn't be better!!!

Snow, Snow and Snow

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning. Everything was white and pristine. Columbia Pass to Sandy Valley was closed, bus couldn't get middle and high school students over to the school. Also some of the teachers couldn't get to Sandy, they kept everyone at the Goodsprings School until it was decided nothing would run, then they sent Goodsprings kids home and bused the Primm kids home. It was a chili kind of day so put on a big pot and fed some of the neighbors.

I have the CDAC bus tour tomorrow...need to be in to the government center before 8 am as the bus leaves at 8 sharp. Hope we don't get a bunch more snow tonight..it is predicted.

I worked out in my workroom all afternoon trying to get a handle on Christmas, but didn't seem to make much progress. Last minute Annie that's me. Phill's mother used to laugh and say it wasn't Christmas if I didn't sew until 2 or 3 am. to get everything under the tree.

More later...Ruthie
