The 1st Lady and I got up not toooo early, but a bit after the sun popped over the eastern mountains and into our windows. After breakfast.....and my Fr. Roast coffee.....we went over and spent some time with Mac and Gail.......checking on him and to see how he was progressing after a small procedure that he had done day before yesterday. A small problem as a result of his Parkinson's and so he had to have a few uncomfortable things done that day.
Then the 1st Lady and I walked all through the streets of the RV Park.....and checked on sites that are for sale and/or rent. Still just in the thinking stages.....and probably won't go any farther than just....thinking. We also walked through the cactus garden on the west of the park, just outside the fence. There we met a couple whose lot backs up to the garden....and had the nicest visit with them.....they are from Minnesota and have a park model here for the winters and one in Minnesota for the summers. GREAT arrangement.
Later this afternoon we took a bike ride a mile down the road to a small subdivision and checked out the houses and southwestern landscaping that each house had. NO grass out here......all various kinds of small rocks/gravel and all different colors of stones. Lots of different types of cactus are used as well as rosemary and sages.
Returning on the road to the RV Park we saw a couple of roadrunners and attempted to get a picure but they sure did like to run!!!!!!! They were off and gone almost before I could snap a photo......
Gail prepared dinner this evening for us......and as always when she cooks.......EVERYTHING is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! She is wonderful chef!!!!!! After dinner we went across their street to where some of their friends....and now, our friends also.........and sat around a bonfire within a mesh container and chatted and laughed and enjoyed the very cool evening under the most incredible clear sky with gazillions of stars!!!! WOW.......just fantastic......made me wish I had a long range telescope to look at some of the stars closer......just unreal!
As the temps dropped quickly, we weren't out there toooooo long and then we returned to TheHowserHouse and quickly turned on our fireplace to get the den toasty warm. LOVE that fireplace!!!
Tomorrow we are off to Mesa....an eastern suburb of Phoenix.....to the weekend "Swap Meet". I was there a couple of years ago and it is HUGE.....and that is an understatement. They have 1600 stalls/booths all in long, long, long sheds with roofs and well........it just can't be described. I will attempt to get some pics tomorrow, but it will never show it the way it really is.
A good day, today.........and as always for me.....
LIFE IS GREAT....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
