December 2 2014 - Down to Casa Grande

We started the day off at Krispy Kreme for doughnuts and a caramel latte.  We didn't take a trip last week because we were busy cooking and eating and celebrating everything we had to be thankful.

This week we are switching trip day with movie day because today I have to go back to the foot doctor.  If you have to go to one, this one is easy on the eyes.  As a matter of fact the one in Topeka was too.  What is with the good looking guys going into feet?  Ugh?


We took I-10 down to Casa Grande.  We passed cotton being harvested.  After it had been harvested there was a lot left on the ground.  It looked like it had snowed.  I bet back in Scarlett's day, they would have been no cotton to see.

I tried really hard to get a picture of their water tower.  Good idea and and the base should be earthquake safe.


As you know I love old buildings and their preservation.  Look at this church made out of rocks and stones.  Gorgeous.

We stopped for a glass of tea.  McDonalds you let me down,  It was the worse tea I have ever tasted.  Out it went.

We feel safe.  The Border Patrol is out.  Isn't it sad the shape our country has gotten into?  Man and their greed.

As we were driving through Casa Grande, we spotted a huge RV park.  We pulled in to check it out because we had read that the parks are cheaper in this area.



Nope!  The driver got out.  They were twice as high as we are paying now.  We don't golf, swim, or party so why pay the extra money?

This cotton field has a lot of waste.

 This one needs to be cut.

I took this picture for Jerry Doughtery.  Sorry Jerry Gary informed me your name was Cooley?

In the distance this blimp looked like a cow hanging out of a balloon.  Eye sight is going too.

We had a good day.  Need to get ready for the doctor.  Need to get some packages ready to mail.
You know Christmas is around the corner.  Gary is already planning his meal and last night he requested peanut brittle.

Love to all and happy trails.

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to
