Haircut and Laundry

We woke to totally clear, sunny skies and thought, "what happened to the rain?" Well, tonight we know what happened to the rain--it is definitely here. The wind blew hard all day then about 4pm it started raining. The motor home is rocking with the wind!

After our long walk this morning I called a place in Quartzsite and got an appointment to get my hair cut at 3pm today. I chose the stylist because her name was Janna, spelled just as mine is. And since I was going to Quartzsite, I decided to take the laundry. The laundromat was a zoo as usual but once again I had no trouble finding a few washers and dryers. And again, I had to wonder why women bring their husbands to the laundromat. They all just stand there, getting in the way, yakking and doing absolutely nothing to help the wife. I almost had to stuff two guys in the dryer with my clothes, they just were in my way every step I took. Go figure!

When I walked into the beauty shop (calling this joint a salon was a severe stretch of the imagination) I had my doubts but I think Janna did an OK job on my hair. Now if I could just get the coloring products I ordered over the internet I would be a happy camper!

We had a spectacular dinner. Several days ago CJ had a recipe on her blog for Chicken Paillard with Lemon/Brandy Sauce--it was wonderful, a little complicated to cook in the RV and when I touched the lighter to the brandy in the skillet I set the smoke alarm off. Oh, well, it was all worth it, delicious! I served wild rice with mushrooms and onions and a salad, YUM!

As I type this the wind is blowing and it is raining--may not be an easy sleeping night.
