909 February 25, 2023 Downtown

This morning it was foggy and drizzling.  I decided I needed to get out and walk no matter what.  I walked into town thinking that there might be more places to take shelter if it began to rain harder. 

I got some cleaning and laundry done while Tim took a hike on the ridge.

I went to pick him up in town.  We went into the Borrego Art Institute.  We enjoyed the exhibit of desert photography.  

We walked to the Borrego Community Garden.

We went to the State Park store and browsed.

We went to the Borrego Botanical Gardens.  I had found this place on a walk a couple of weeks ago.  There was a particular display that I wanted to see.  There is a fence.  Mounted on the fence there are 30 stories of people and how they came to live in Borrego Springs.  These stories are written by adults and students that have come from Mexico.  As I read these accounts, I was reminded again how grateful I should be.  I was also reminded how parents always want what is best for their children.  Most families share this desire.  How brave and daring to sacrifice so much and hope for a brighter future.  It was a moving experience.

We got a text after 6 this evening saying that there was live music here in the lobby at the RV resort. We decided to go. The music was very loud in the main room. We sat at the bar and had some wine and some Guiness and we solved the problems of the world.
