Love the old cars I keep seeing in the area, and of course the sunny blue skies.

Where are we today ?
        Cold again last night but no problem, sunshine and blue skies all day here. Water hose was partly frozen this morning but as soon as the sun hit it all thawed out by 9 am. We always have water on out tank anyway so no big deal.
       Part of my early walkabout took me to Junction Express adjacent to the campground, Check out their chicken prices again we thinking of some Broasted Chicken again before we leave the area tomorrow. As I have said before only here and Anna Mae's in Ontario have we found it really, really good so we take it when we can get it.
        As I was about to leave spotted this 1949 Plymouth Convertible that pulled in caught my eye and just had to go check it out. Amazing all the great old cars we can see when here in the southwest. This one was still mostly original condition other than paint and a few other minor things. The original flathead six cylinder, interior looks pretty original too, column shifter so nice to see these every day drivers just being driven around town.
not a show car just an every day ride
under the hood
nice
      And another walkabout spotted this bird just sitting in the trees staring me down for the longest time. Did take a quick pic but the flew away.
        Being our last day here Suzie sorts the laundry and I take it to let the machines do their magic and enjoy my e-reader in the process.  Just over an hour  2 loads done and while I am doing this Suzie cleaned our house top to bottom, wow it looks like new again!
         After a bite for lunch, puttered around a bit, put our Weber Q away, checked tire pressure, emptied waste water, water hose away. Then enjoy some more reading in the warm afternoon sun, out of the cooling north wind. 
the view while we are reading outside
so nice
         Easy supper tonight ordered our chicken for 5:20 picked it up just as it was finished cooking, yes it's fresh made. Comes with choice of salad, coleslaw our choice and I had made up a small tossed salad too.
their chicken here is wonderful
always perfect, we have been
 coming here every year since 2006
not in our healthy eating plan
but...... gotta cheat one in a while
          Now we are ready to move tomorrow. Hearing aide repaired, Thanksgiving taken care of and the holiday weekend should be over so now we gonna keep heading west a little bit at a time. The lower elevation and desert is calling our names.
          Thanks for stopping in again and hope you had a great sunday too.

Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Fall and Winter..

  1. It is fun checking out the old cars but aren't you glad you have a much more modern one to drive around town?

  3. The old cars always had a character of their own. Heck you could even tell the type of car just by the sound of its engine.
    That chicken really does look tasty.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  5. Jim loves identifying all the old cars as we drive around town. Amazing how many are used just for regular use. That chicken looks marvelous.

    1. In Arizona no salt on the roads so they can pretty well last forever just keep fixing.
      Chicken excellent, yes ....

  6. I never thought about your water line freezing that far down in AZ. I've always like Broasted Chicken as well.

    1. We are in the high desert here at 3,500 feet so it does get cold at night.

  7. Love the name of this blog - Truth in advertizing I'd say. I'll have to spend a little more time here till I can get my own road trip out of the driveway.
