My phone showed me this memory today, from what I remember as a lovely visit to a family owned date farm, with a fabulous cactus garden, and gift shop. Located in Tecopa (CA,) in the Mojave Desert, near Death Valley. I am most grateful for amazing memories like this! My daughter absolutely loved this place!

What are you grateful for today?

      Thank you! It would be a fun outing for you :) Do you like to eat dates? They have many different varieties and the shop/cafe is worthy of a visit.

    CA has many special treats, doesn’t it? And I am getting excited and grateful that we are to be flying out there on Saturday… very soon!

    So different from our landscape. Grateful to have lots of odds and ends that we no longer need hauled away, including an old mattress.

    I love when memories like this pop back up. It is why I make travel books so I can enjoy the trip again.

    Today I am grateful for SO much.
