Cool overnight but not freezing 34 f at 5 am so we toasty warm inside. We using our electric heater just because we can. Shortly after 7 am we had nice sunrise right out our dining room window. The beginning of another perfect sunny day in Arizona .
 |
| love the sunrises here |
Shortly after this I headed out for a nice walkabout the campground enjoying the morning quiet and warm sun. Mostly around the south part of the park where the permanent sites are. Still lotsa nice sites here.
Just a after 9 we headed into Sierra Vista first stop pick up a few groceries then checked out the Good Will store. Nothing caught our eyes at the Good Will.
Next was our appointment Best Buy to see the Geeks. Suzie's laptop is fixed and ready to go. She checked it all out , works as good as new once again. They replaced the LED/LCD cable between the keyboard and monitor that was frayed and causing issues, like no monitor. hmm not good.
All was good and and no invoice? Hmm, we were told $60.00 . The supervisor came and checked and found no invoice. Ok if they don't want our money that is wonderful. We shook hands and they said Merry Christmas ! Thanks Best Buy.

| treated well here, good service and NO cahrge |
 |
| this is the old cable they replaced |
We have had amazing service here in various places this winter, first last fall the windshield of our coach was coming loose, re secured it took for 3 hours, no charge. Slide out switch yesterday , no charge, today computer repair no charge!!! We have always had amazing customer service here every year but not so much work done for "NO Charge". Yet we are prepared and able to pay for these services and they were things we needed to do. Part of the lifestyle.

| still snow in the mountains over Sierra Vista |
We back home by 11;30 and time for lunch, Today a treat bacon, eggs, home fries on our Weber Q. A perfect warm sunny day for this. Hot sunny no wind and we had a craving.
 |
| done nicely on our grill mat |
 |
| oh yeah what a brunch |
Now for a relaxing afternoon , I had a long hot shower then trimmed my hair and beard , (Suzie does the final touches). Nice to get this done outside with a nice hot sunny day. Did get to 75F outside and 85 inside so a good time to exercise our air conditioners for a while.
Enjoying our e-readers and a neighbours dog got loose and wandered over to visit and make a deposit, Neighbour apologized and cleaned up the mess. No problem, Suzie got a doggie fix in the meantime.
At 3 pm Sandy and Randy were gonna stop by for 'Happy Hour" but he was busy so she stopped in to say they would not be here and she had a Happy 45 minutes with us catching up. Always nice to see them or her when we can.
 |
| Sandy got a phone call so I snapped a picture |
Shortly after 4 pm I whipped up a salad , preheated out Weber Q and grilled a couple of split chicken breasts, on our grill mat. using a Texas rub we have and enjoy. Again the grill mat keeps it moist and the grill clean.
 |
| love grilled chicken of any kind |
 |
| added to the salad was wonderful |
As supper was about done I managed to get a couple a shots of our sunset here, Not bad for a campground.
As Suzie was finishing up dishes we had friends drop by, Scott and Laurel (their Blog
Living Large in the North. )to say . see ya laters and thanks for the visits. They are slowly making their way back to Canada with their 7 children and dog Brownie. What an amazing adventure they are having ! Safe travels guys and hope to see y'all again on down the road , where ever your life adventure takes you.

Want to learn more about Membership camping
at Rock Glen Family Resort ?
Where have we been this winter ?
You must be living right, George. No one wants you to pay! Can't beat free.
ReplyDeleteGlad the nice weather is back for you. We had a beautiful day here in Apache Junction too.
I guess so Doug we would even pay in American funds too but we do like free.
DeleteThe nice sunny weather is back again love it. Glad you enjoying AJ.
.
Sounds like another wonderful day. You have been getting some wonderful customer service. There really are a lot of nice people out there.
ReplyDeleteThe customer service we have had this year has been amazing , no problems at all.
DeleteThere is a lot of very nice people out there.
Wait .... let me touch your shoulder before you go back to Canada. I could use some of that "no pay" good luck!! Especially at Best Buy!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL... sure we leaving Sunday morning so you better hurry. We were pretty impressed with Best Buy but they did not want our money. no problem we like free.
DeleteMerry Christmas and happy birthday all in one day....lol
ReplyDeleteI just cannot image traveling with 7 adults let alone 7 children. They both must have the patience of Job!
They all seem to handle things very well living in their travel trailer they pull with a small diesel bus, and home schooled as well.What an amazing family and very well behaved children.
DeleteGreat deal on the computer repair. Maybe you have a Geek Squad membership that you are not aware of?
ReplyDeleteWe thought it was a good deal, not sure about a membership, first time we have ever used them.
DeleteCongrats on getting Suzie's laptop fixed for only the cost of the cable. Good service can still be found. Nice looking brunch, have never thought of eggs on the bar-b. Save us some of that nice weather we're heading over to watch some Cactus Practice league games.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff we thought so as well. Glad there is still some good service to be found at the places we least expect it.
DeleteHow about you come along when we need something repaired? The prices you pay I have for along time wished for ;-) Your Weber BBQ gets quite the workout and I am amazed at the variety you are able to cook on it. Always looks good.
ReplyDeleteExcellent day for you and Suzie. Glad you got things all fixed and ready to use again.
ReplyDeleteWonderful weather, brunch looks good!! Think I may have to do that myself, as I've been seeing and hearing about bacon, eggs and home fries all winter.
Happy you got to say your see ya laters to the Living Large folks. Sure are some brave people.
Enjoy your warm days.
Safe travels ahead.
It was a wonderful day and productive for sure.
DeleteThe brunch was a wonderful treat we like to enjoy on occasion.
Was nice to see these guys again and hope to see them again on down the road.
It's always good when no one wants your money. I've got to learn your secret! :cD
ReplyDeleteIt is always good when they don't want our money, no complaints here. I don't know the secret just lucky I guess.
DeleteNice when your money isn't good enough for anyone, George! Glad Suzie is back up and running.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that Scott and Laurel stopped around to say goodbye, lovely couple. We hope they come to The Ridge this summer! Great picture of the two of them and I like the picture of the family earlier. I was able to name all of the children. :) Too bad Brownie forgot to pose!
That's ok if they don't want to make our money, we will spend it somewhere else.
DeleteIt was nice to see them again and the kids as well while we were here. I knew all of their names butt can't seem to put them but to their faces again.
If they come to the Ridge we would love to see them there again too.
First off, the brunch looks absolutely amazing! How nice of Best Buy! You have good karma! Great pic of Scott and Laurel! Looks like a very nice family, great way for the kids to grow! Dinner looks amazing too! YUM
ReplyDeleteThanks guys it was a wonderful day all around.
DeleteThey are a very adventurerous family.great learning for the kids as well.
Well Merry Christmas to you both!! What a nice treat!! I wish nobody would want our money haha!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere do they all stay in an RV? I can't imagine 7 children plus 2 adults living in such a small space! What an interesting story!!
Thanks for the Merry Christmas . don;t know where they are stay obviously a close family!
