THE WORLD'S LARGEST BELT BUCKLE; Quartzsite-AZ

I drank my morning coffee with a smile on my face today, after reading the morning headlines:

YES!! GO TEAM TRUMP!!

And as soon as my coffee mug was empty, I got dressed and put some color on my face while Holland shook his morning fog cobwebs 😉

'Lt. Brown' Brow Gel; 'Glam Brown' Mascara, 'Born w-It' Lipstick, & 'Coral Ember' liquid blush.

Hard Candy's sparkly eye shadows: (1) Entire eyelid coverage (2) Inner eyelid accent (3) Outer eyelid crease; 'just enough' to brighten up the paleness ;-)

'White Diamonds' perfume; Holland likes the scent - it's the first perfume he bought his new Bride 😊 Light & feminine.

Red rash covering my entire leg - from sole to thigh; very annoying itch with a sting to it. Holland thinks the AZ dust id the culprit … I am convinced it's a combination of AZ dust, and my asthma inhaler steroids.

Shutting laptop down … and making time for today's scavenger hunt 👍 I am allergic to AZ's dust - but I can't be a hostage, stuck in my home.

Holland is really going out of his way to make sure "we see everything there is to see", before we leave AZ … on the surface, Quartzsite doesn't have much to offer besides the free camping desert land, from October to March - and the super vendor sales in January: but Holland always finds something else to check out 👌

Today, we went to take a look at what has been billed, "the largest belt buckle in the world".

It was displayed along Main Street, outside Quartzsite's Main Trading Post establishment.

It was pretty large.

It certainly was different … and impressive, adorned as it was with silver inlay - and chunks of turquoise & coral.

It is as wide as I am tall (I stand about 5' 2").

After getting a picture of it, I went in search of my husband 😉

I found him in the back alley, placing Pizza & BBQ Chicken Wings orders, at The Outback. We've tried just about every food establishment here - there are only 2 left, and he plans to try them before this month is out:

Outback Pizza; Quartzsite-AZ

Back home, enjoying the pizza and wings ... we saw the wind pick up, felt sidewind gusts rock Independence, and watched pretty large dust devils dance across The Pit Stop's parking area, before it disappeared into the dry wash that runs behind where we are parked.

A little breezy, this afternoon; Quartzsite-AZ~3:05 PM

Holland plans on adventuring this weekend, so, I did a few loads of laundry too.

And I started work on a new design.

I'm always thankful my husband agreed to this indulgence  when we purchased Independence 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

I am glad to feel the joy that having color in my life again, gives me.

My heart is gladdened to hear my husband happily planning exciting adventures: he is finally relaxing, and fully embracing retirement ❤️

Today was a fun day.

Today was a good day.
