Where are we today ?

         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.
Scott and Laurel, with out the rest
of the family
this is the picture I took of them

       Just another fine productive day here enjoying some more wonderful weather and chatting with friends . hope your day was a great one as well.

  7. How 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.

  8. Excellent day for you and Suzie. Glad you got things all fixed and ready to use again.

    Wonderful 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.

  10. Nice when your money isn't good enough for anyone, George! Glad Suzie is back up and running.
    How 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!

    1. That's ok if they don't want to make our money, we will spend it somewhere else.
      It 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.
