        What do we have here? Another awesome day, whats not to love about this? Cool nights and warm sunny day. Mind you we had winds shortly after noon about  30 mph (50 kph) But it is dry, sunny and hot. The wind was a nice relief.
        Morning walkabouts before it gets too hot and a quick trip to town for a few more supplies. Really love this area, small town USA.

nice desert flowers

      Saw this older Cadillac at Walmart this morning, looks like new! Older couple came here to shop. Not sure of the year but is in amazing condition. Only in Arizona. It is a Fleetwood "Arizona Edition"

Arizona Edition,
that's me n the reflection

       Then home to make up a pot of Turkey Chili for on supper the road, we have couple long travel days planned so this will do the trick, For the recipe click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar.

           Then lunch today, leftover Tuna steak for Suzie's lunch

           Now we heard from friends that are heading north west  and stopping in here for a few days. They are from Alberta Canada. Last saw them in Quartzsite then they did a quick tour through Texas, New Orleans then heading back home. Nice to meet up with them again and they did come over for Happy Hour. Such a small world it is. So nice to meet up again. They just pulled in and got a nice site in the upper level.

Suzie got a doggie fix, when a neighbor stopped by to chat

         Because it was so windy today (30 mph , 50 kph) we decided to cook a meal inside for a change. Suzie has been waiting for a day like this. Fettuccine Alfredo with Sea scallops and a salad. Sauted with onions, mushrooms and garlic.

Was so tasty and sure hit the spot,
no leftovers tonight

         That was our wonderful last day here in Arizona. Heading out in the morning east and working our way north. through Texas. Supposed to be windy so not sure how far we will get, no reservations, that's the nice thing about this lifestyle. We just play it by ear. Plans are written in jello.

         Thanks for stopping in for a visit, hope y'all had a wonderful day to!

        Very cool nights here for sleeping which is wonderful 40f when I got up waiting for the sunrise starting at 7:30 am got a nice walkabout done first thing.

love the small lakes here

pool looks nice but no heated, brr

       Today I have a few repair projects on the go. First thing I take down our windshield curtain to replace a few clips. Yesterday I found a strip at the rv place part place in town. Sew in but we do not have a sewing machine. But we do have GOOP  glue and it is amazing.

broken clips

cut the new strip to size

       Then applied Goop and clamped down, hmm full beer cans and a part case will hold it all down For a while until it sets. Drink beer later.... lol..

makeshift clamp

looks good to go after a few hours

hey just like new !

     Next project the window blind by the couch, broken string. Have restrung this blind at least once before and few others a couple of times. Not a big deal about an hour and we are done , Suzie's help is priceless. We have the cord so not a big deal. She happy = me happy !

yep its broken

just like new

      Next project, the bottom of this door below came off, so a few POP rivets and it's all back together and working like new. This coach is getting older glad I can repair most of these minor things.

looks like new !

       Now this was all done by noon so a light lunch then another walkabout was in order.

nice garden

nobody in the pool it's not heated !

perfect hit sunny day, only 82f, but can deal with that

        Then got to read for a while before time for supper. Fire up our Weber Q grill a pork tenderloin  I picked up for 4 bucks and some fresh asparagus for $1.79 LB.

Early spring cleaning while the weather is perfect here.

Where are we today ?

St.  David rv Resort, Arizona

        Just another fine day here, last one for us. Our good friends Rob and Pat are on the road at 8 am and we said our goodbyes. But we will see them down the road in a few days in Glen Rose Texas if all works out for us.
        Now with wonderful weather here we have the time to do some early spring cleaning, Wash the windows, remove the screens and get rid of all the desert dust. Suzie vacuums buckets of dust from our coach, I did a couple loads of laundry. Even gave myself a haircut outside with this wonderful warm weather, last chance for a while. (Suzie trimmed the edges)
        Standard stuff like check tire pressures, pack up our Weber Q, much too windy today, 25 mph winds  (sure glad we are not in the road). 
        AND we even got to read our books for a couple hours outside in the shade. This afternoon, now is that not almost a perfect day?

overcast but still quite warm

        Eventually gonna whip up supper. A huge pot of spaghetti sauce, with ground beef, fresh mushrooms, onions, zucchini, garlic and tomato sauce.
        Made enough that we will have leftovers for one or two nights on the road in the near future, works good for us.

nice feast of spaghetti tonight

      Then we have one more amazing Arizona sunset to end our stay here. How awesome is that?
       Where did the day go?

another wonderful sunset

       Just wanna thank y'all for stopping by again. In the morning we heading east, slowly making our way back to Ontario. No rush though, we have the time and still too cold back there.

Book exchanges and found a new Saturday market in town.

Where are we today ?

St David Rv , Arizona

        Just sounding like a broken record here. Sunshine, hot days and cold nights, love it ! Night time temps in the mid 40's f good for sleeping, typical in Arizona. Now day time temps at this time of year are amazing! We love the heat.
        9 am we head to the clubhouse for fresh baked, Pecan rolls or cinnamon rolls. Of course we choose the pecan rolls on the left and share one, so nice, hot and sticky!

oh so good, a rare treat for us.

         Then into Benson to exchange some of our read books at our favorite book exchanges here. First store we got $19.50 credit and bought a bunch more here cost $11.95. She will not take all our books.
         Then around the corner stopped at Marry Ann's. She will take all the rest of our books and got a $21.00 credit. picked out a bunch more and now we are good to go for a while longer.
         Now we ended up with another 13 paperbacks that we love to read, no kindles for us yet. If I can't read my paperback outside in my chair I just don't read. I do have all kinds of free books on my computer, but it is just not the same for me.

our haul today

         After leaving here just down the street we found a Saturday Marketplace right by the Benson Museum. Never knew it was here after all the years we have stopped in the Benson area. So just had to stop by and check it out.
        Wander about for a while, chat with vendors an purchase a mini pecan pie with shortbread crust and tiny banana loaf with pecans, for some snibbles later on. Losta pecans in this area.

in the Benson Museum

        Then back home for a light lunch and enjoy our books it the shade for a while.

just love the clear blue skies here

           Now looking at the temperatures outside in the sun its pretty hot look below.

in the sun its brutal

in the shade much better, but remember no humidity

        We do have a very light breeze so it is quite comfortable in the shade.
        After a final Happy hour (for a few days) with our friends Rob and Pat I fired up our Weber Q to grill a couple marinated chicken kebobs I made, and grilled taters.

low and slow does it on our Weber Q 

steamed a bit of broccoli with cheese, hit the spot

then another excellent Arizona sunset to wind down our day

          Glad that you cared to drop on by again and hope you had a good day too.!
