We took my mom (87) to her first trunk or treat night and she was so funny. She is in the middle of dementia and has recently lost her husband so it has been a hard fall season for all of us and this is something we have done for a few years now. She watched as all the kidos went past our car and got goodies. I asked her to hold the goody bag while I kept putting goodies in the activity I had going for the kids. I don't know who ate more candy her or the kids. She gets cold even in the house and we had to almost drag her outside, but we took the small electric blanket and my super warm coat she did not complain of cold even once. She had so much fun. we went through about 15+/- pounds of candy and lots of Non candy goodies.

Does anyone else do the trunk or treat stuff?
 
I heard raindrops on my roof. I got up to lower my popup roof down and when I looked outside there was a full half circle double rainbow. Flocks of early birds were up flying celebrating the first rain in weeks! But it is not raining heavily, just a series of very brief and not very heavy showers.

I had planned to clean out my car this morning while it was still cool outside. So much for that idea! Doing it in the rain is not going to work. I will delay moving to Quartzsite by another day or two to get that chore and a few other vehicle related chores out of the way.

Finding a nice surprise like a rainbow is always fun we had one this afternoon too. Sometimes almost worth the rain.....
 
It is cool enough today in Lake Havasu City that I closed my sliding window at lunch time as the breeze coming in had me feeling pop sickle toes chilled! A very welcome contrast to yesterday.
 
Oh no!!! I missed a rally big event on lake Havasu on October 28, over 600 people dressed up in their Witching outfits and took to the water paddling back and forth under the London Bridge. That is something to look forward to seeing next year! I wonder how many of the YouTube Nomadic bloggers have caught on to this event. For sure it is a very unique and fun event to film for their vlogs. Especially if they were to dress up, get in a boat and participate in it!

Getting settled in for a while at the LTVA in Quartzsite. It has been fairly windy with chilly mornings and evenings. But hopefully this weather front will move on through next week and it will warm up to back to more typical temperatures for November.

I have not setup my popup-hub screen room yet, I delayed that due to the weather. I have not needed to setup any shade cloth as I want the heat from the sun.

But today I did get my diesel heater/stove setup and ready for the winter season. At least some progress made on getting setup in my winter camp! Now it is lunch time, followed by nap time. It is a hard life!🤣
