Imagine there's no Heaven, It's easy if you try
No Hell below us, Above us only sky
Imagine all the People, Living for today..
I love this Beatles song and it is the song title this week
over at Song-ography. The crazy thing is, I know every word to this song but
never really paid attention to the meaning..
To tell you the truth I do hope there is a Heaven and Hell.
I think it keeps us just a little bit honest if you know what I mean.
But I sure do love the idea of living for today..
We were on our way to California and got side tracked..
We made a stop in Quartzsite, AZ. The plan was just to stay one night and visit some
friends. That's the good part of being retired, We just fly by the seats of our pants.
So 3 days later we are still here with all the Crazy RVer's here Quartzsite.
I keep telling my husband the ocean is calling,
But we have one more change in our plans. We are thinking about
spending a couple of days in Palm Springs now. Its on the way and we
have never been there. So why not. I guess the ocean will have to wait.
I want to say Thanks so much for all your kind comments my friends.
You definitely make me feel Loved.

That is what is nice about your life, Linda, if you want to do it you are able and if you don't want to, you don't have to. There is something kind of peaceful about your photo's today...indeed they are less busy, the desert very quiet...but I am glad you are enjoying all of it. Palm Springs sounds nice, look forward to seeing all your photo's! Hugs and happy camping!
I'm thinking that an RV may be in my future too...how fun to just be able to "go" and "stay" and then go again....I love it. Love the photo of the succulents!
beautiful scenes. go wherever your heart takes you. :)
I want to stop working too!
It was fun following you guys around, thanks for sharing your beautiful shots and thanks for linking up with Our Beautiful World too!
Plus, I love that song by John Lennon, especially when they play it on New Year's eve ball drop in NYC!
Simply lovely.
Gorgeous post Linda, love that first photo, enjoy the travels and thanks for sharing with Our Beautiful World
These are beautiful and I say remind us that there is a heaven.
It's so nice to catch up with you and find out where you've been...and where you're headed! It sure sounds exciting! Love your photos as always and seeing sights I will never see! Have fun! Hugs, Diane
Beautiful images and it is an amazing song still so powerful and apt even after all these years, maybe even more so in fact.

I cannot think of a more wonderful way to spend retirement, my friend. What an adventure you are having! xo.
You got no strings like Pinocchio so enjoy my friend. Glad you have found lot of pals along the way. Be safe on your way to PS. And yes, my dear friend, there is a heaven and a hell and a magnificent God who created us and all those amazing sights you are enjoying. :-) Hugs!
How nice to just meander through the country, stopping wherever your heart desires. Love your images! Stop in again soon and tell us all about Palm Springs. :)
What beautiful pictures... & I absolutely love that song :) Hope you are enjoying your trip!
Palm Springs is where I lived when I met my hubby! It has changed so much and I need to go back for a visit! Have fun and we need to meet up again soon. Going to PDX over Valentine's Day! Hugs, GF!
Wonderful words and photos beautifully combined. That is one of my all time fave songs! Stay well, hugs, Valerie
So nice chatting with you today! I know you are SO ready to get to the ocean, but what beautiful desert pictures you have here! Especially love the cactus!
Hello lovely lady ... I adore seeing your photos ... I love the song imagine ... makes you really think huh? Thanks so much for sharing them with us at OBW!! Have a safe and happy week
Waving to you up in Quartsize from down here in Phoenix!! LOVING the photos!
What lovely sunsets.
I love your beautiful photos, Linda, and love living the free life vicariously through you!! How wonderful you can just go where the wind takes you!
I have to admit, the "Imagine there's no Heaven" lyric is the ONE lyric in the song that bothers me. I just don't WANT to believe there isn't a Heaven. I believe it inspires us to have that belief within us. But the REST of lyrics? Dead on! And what a beautiful photo. How could there NOT be a Heaven with that beauty? Thanks for joining in at Song-ography. I enjoy seeing you here back in Blog land :)
Just saying hello, Linda - I didn't realize you were blogging again!
Beautiful photos Linda! Hope you have a great week!
Sounds like you are enjoying yourself. No plan is set in stone. Do what makes you happy! LOVE seeing your photography my friend!
Great shots .... you are on quite an adventure!!!
Have fun!
diane @ thoughts and shots
yes a wonderful song! And so your photos! Thanks for sharing at "OBW"
Beautiful, have you made it to the ocean? Nothing like the sounds of the crashing waves and your toes in the sand.. Have fun!!!
I think the ocean calls to us all. It's been 11 years since I was there. Sigh. I guess that goes with the territory when you're from Kansas. Sounds like a peaceful, relaxing way to live. Enjoy it for us all! Hugs!
LOVE your post! And LOVE that you are living EVERY day and taking these side trips! Lucky you! Stay safe!
Always a pleasure to find you here again.
fantastic! what stunning photographs
Beautiful world seen through your lens Linda, you really have an eye for the beauty in the "small" things around you. Great photography. Have fun in Palm Springs and enjoy the anticipation of going to the ocean. It's teasing you just a little longer, but you'll get there :) Big hugs xx
The ocean will definitely still be there when you are ready... until then fill your heart with the beautiful scenery you are so blessed to be able to visit. I really envy you guys - what a life! :). Big hugs my friend, glad to see you are well!
Linda I agree it keeps us thinking and doing right:)
Oh your photos are amazing and yes retired is wonderful for you, seeing what you want when you want and as long as you want.Enjoy. Hug B
Indeed heaven and hell are more real than even this passing earth....
Seems you are thriving on you rRV retirement living, being able to change course at short notice for all the right reasons. Lovely photos Linda.
So beautiful and peaceful, Love how you captured the amazing colors of the desert Linda!! So glad you are having a wonderful time cruising around the amazing country of ours!! Its really fun to see all the different places you visit especially when Im stuck here LOL!!
Lovely desert pics! Lots of prickly cactuses there. So different from here on the East Coast.
Yes, I want a heaven and a hell. You're right about it keeping us honest. I had read (twice) a book called, "Heaven Is Real", by Pastor Todd Burpo. Have you heard of it? His son was 3 years old, and almost died due to a burst appendix. While his son was on the operating table, he visited Heaven...without actually dying. His son spoke in bits and pieces about what happened to him over the next couple of years, flooring his parents. I loved every word of his experience. The boy is now a teen, and has been on the Today Show a few times. I highly recommend the book.
Waving hi from Quartzite / Yuma Linda! Headed to San Diego for the week :)
