Perfect weather again, and fellow Bloggers stopped in for a visit today.


Where are we today ?



       A great sleep last night and a cool morning until the sunrise, but then WOW! In shorts by 10 and with temps in the mid 70's by noon thats why we love southern Arizona. No cloud cover and the direct sun here is intense, all you need is a bit of shade and it's perfect.
       A walkabout this huge park for a while enjoyed the wonderful sunrise over the mountains to the east of us. We don't see many sunsets here because of the tiered campground to the west, but that will come later when we are in more desert flat areas.
wonder where these huge boulders came from
       So many huge sites her and mostly "Leaseholders" that build these casitas on their lots.
Love this one an adobe style
      Then wandered into Walmart to pick up a few foodstuffs and noticed this 1939 Mercury in very good shape on a trailer. Love all the old cars that we see here on the southwest.

This arch is on the site beside us.
Wonder how it stays that way, not fastened?
           Back home puttered around for a bit and finished up the chicken soup I started last night with the leftover carcass. Just enough for 2 hearty bowls for lunch today.
very tasty, but somehow I made it too spicy
 for Suzie, oh no, more for me lol..!
         Then we had a visit from Jerry and Brenda from Ontario. We met them in Willis Texas March 2013. I checked my records. They are fellow Rv'ers and Bloggers their blog is Turtle On down the Road.  They read our Blog and decided to take advantage of the $50.00 week special here at this park. Not a bad deal. Can't beat the price by much and as nice as this park is, it's really a bit over the top for us. We like the more laid back atmosphere of a smaller park or boondocking. But thats just the way we are.

         Then with a wonderful day I wanted to get our bicycles off the back of the coach and serviced. Pump up the tires, clean them up, lube everything and take them for a test drive. All is good, they getting tired but still do the job.
Bikes good to go wherever for the winter,
yes we need the shade,
Suzie got a bit of a sunburn yesterday
          Managed to get some more quality reading done then whip up supper. Tonight a catfish fillet pan fried with Fish Crisp" on our Weber Q.
        Cook supper earlier now as the sun is gone off our site by 5 pm and without the desert sun the temps drop from 75f to 55 f real quick and lower as the evening progresses.
works wonderful 
The catfish and salad sure hit the spot
         Just a great day we had with perfect weather, gotta love it. Sunny hot, no clouds or humidity, and the forecast looks like more of the same.
       That was it for us just enjoyed being outside, warm weather, sunshine, walkabouts, and reading.
        Thanks for all the comments and congrats on yesterday's posting with the arrival of our Newest Granddaughter.
        Hope y'all had a wonderful day too.

  1. I had a 2 blog & 1 read day today and am happy to also offer my congratulations on your granddaughter addition. They grow up quick so enjoy...Sounds like an interesting park you are in at the moment. ..do folks buy/rent some sites to make their own? Are there restrictions on what you can build? The adobe building seems interesting...

    1. This is a co-op park people lease the lots and have restrictions on what they can build or do with them They can also have their lots available for rent as well. Not something we want to do . It is very nice organized, and very clean though , everyone here seems to love it.

  2. I wonder if that rock arch holds together because of the exact correct amount of tension between the stones, Quite the feat to put it together.

    1. It would have been a challenge to assemble I would think.

  3. The first year we retired and went to FL for three months, we got our bikes all aired up and cleaned here in MI before we left. Big oops...with the heat the tires expanded and blew big holes. We thought we were getting shot at because we were sitting in a rest area eating lunch and the bikes were on the back of the moho and when they blew, it was loud. Lesson learned.

    1. The variations in temperature can do some damage if you are not careful.

  4. That's a great price to pay for a whole week at a nice RV park. I haven't found too many for $50 . Glad to hear weather is improving and hopefully it'll be perfect this winter for you.

    1. The weather is wonderful we just need to spend the whole winter in the southwest this year, we have our fingers crossed.

  5. I think one of the reasons that there are so many old cars in Arizona is the fact that there isn't much rust.

    1. That's so true, dry climate, no snow, no salt on the roads sure makes a big difference.

  6. Next time you are in Willis, let me know and I will try to get up to see you. One time I worked a contract job in Willis and it was close enough that I could come home for lunch on my lunch hour.

  7. Those temps sound perfect for me. Your fish always look so good, I've got to try that breading.

    1. Think you can buy it on line, it is readily available in Canadian stores but have not seen it in the USA,

  8. I wondered if that fish crisp was Canadian... then read through the comments... yep! Looks so good, too. It is 50 degrees here in Glen Rose, TX today... I envy you the warm!
