Potluck, cactus roses and dominoes

After choir practice, which I forgot about and was a half hour late, we went over to Kitty and Tom's rented park model for a potluck lunch.  Don made one of his beautiful salads.  Kitty and Tom are here for a few days and are good friends of Donna and Carl.

Three new blooms arrived today on one of the hedgehog cactus. These are light pink and I call them cactus tulips.  They're not, of course, but they look a little like tulips. This one is just regular pink... very pretty. And close up. I don't know the name of this plant, but these flowers last for days. Prickly pear cactus yellow rose.  Isn't it pretty? Prickly pear cactus rosebud.  In a few days, this is going to be covered in roses, so stay tuned. A moth feasting on the Beaver Tail cactus blooms. There are a lot of these Beaver Tail's in the garden and they are all in full bloom. Looks like tissue paper flowers, doesn't it?

 

Tonight, we went over to Barb and Bud's for a game of Mexican Train with them and Barb's brother, Elmer and his wife Mary.  It was the men's night, but it was a pretty close game.  Elmer was proud of the guys. Mary and Bud. It's been another good day at Sunscape RV Park and all six of the Big 12 teams in the NCAA tournament won their first games.  That makes us happy basketball fans.
