I’m new here. My name’s Eileen and I’m 63 years young. I live in California with my husband and 2 Boston Terriers, both rescues. I have 2 daughters and 1 granddaughter. I haven’t worked in years due to a back injury and now I spend my time painting, quilting, and gardening. My husband and I love camping in our RV and our favorite place to visit is the southwest. Those red rocks call to us! We enjoy the southwestern archeology and geology. I’m a bit of a rock hound and after every vacation my husband has several pounds of rocks to dig out of the truck! We live in a lovely little tourist town up in the mountains of southern California about 20 miles from the ocean.
Good day Eileen and welcome to the forum. Sounds an interesting life you are leading. Great that you found us. I too bring rocks back from holiday but only very small ones I put in my suitcase otherwise the over charge would be terrible on the plane
Enjoy the forum.
Welcome, Eileen! I envy you being able to escape to such lovely places so easily. I will never forget a magical day I had with my late mother in Monument Valley - it was under snow all morning, and gradually revealed itself over the day.
We live about a day’s drive from all our favorite red rock places. Since I started painting again, I hope to take my easel and get in some quality painting time on our next vacation.
