We had a mixed bag this past week with lots of fun and some really sad news.
Let’s start with the sad news. At the end of November I wrote about a blogger friend who found out he had Cancer and sadly this past week his battle ended and he moved on to his next adventure. George Yates, who wrote the blog Our Awesome Adventures, always had a smile on his face and a positive outlook on life. He wrote loving of his wife Suzie and his children and grandchildren. George would walk early in the morning like I do and I often think of him when I am out walking. It is hard to believe that such a happy, positive man is gone so soon.
Rest in peace George, you are gone to soon but will be love and missed by so many.
After we built Momma Shed here at Cocopah a few years ago we thought we might add a small outdoor kitchen … mainly because we were missing the outdoor kitchen from our old house.
I also wanted somewhere to store our generator, propane fireplace, and extra leveling pads that sit under the back of Maxx and I think look junky. Of course that meant another project for hubby but, fortunately for me, he was up to the challenge and thus the outdoor kitchen came to be.
The counter along the back will be a space for serving and the angle counter to the right will hold our little Webber BBQ.
The picture above shows the dry fit for our Mexican sink, cause an outdoor kitchen needs a sink with running water … and an outdoor kitchen in the south needs a Mexican sink 😀
In the midst of our building frenzy we took time out to attend the Cocopah Horse Races where we had a fun time and walked away $10.00 ahead!
By Friday afternoon hubby had most of the outdoor kitchen complete and I think it looks great … and it has already hosted a few happy hours.
We spent Friday, Saturday and today with friends from home who came to visit us. We had a great time and lots of visits which included margaritas in Algodones today and a steak with fresh shrimp dinner tonight. It was so much fun to share our life here with our good friends!
We have lots going on this week and more friends from home arriving next week … life just keeps getting better.
Until next time …
I love it. That will make everything easier and of course, neater. Good for you guys. Our Mexican sink ended up out in our garden splashing color and a wee pool of water for our birds – it was angled. Enjoy all your company.

Nice looking outdoor space.
George will certainly be missed. I had a short conversation with him a couple of months ago. Such a positive guy, even with the challenges he faced.
