Hard to believe it has been almost three weeks since I updated and we have been busy. It seems like every time we come back to Casa Grande, we end up “nesting” and doing things to the motorhome. So what did we do this time…
I pulled out my sewing machine and spent about a week making a bra/bug catcher for the motorhome. Check it out – I was able to get matching screen material. Looks like we are camouflaging it – :-)))
I also made the mirror covers. Every morning we put up a table outside, put the sewing machine on it and away we went. Doing something that big required help in guiding and Pam and Andy were my helpers over that week. We will see how it holds up.
I also made a cover for the TV when we travel. The one we did have was the original cover – the one that covers the TV in the box. Anyway, our little Bella ripped it to shreds – :-(((. So the new one has extra padding and the material is stronger – don’t think she will be able to tear this one. Lots of mending was next on the sewing list :-)).
So what else..well, I deep cleaned the inside – that hasn’t been done since last summer. Oh my, lots of dust everywhere! I also went thru all our “stuff” and reorganized, decluttered, etc. So now we have more room – for more “stuff” – LOL!!
Andy cleaned and waxed the outside of the motorhome and also reorganized the bays. Since we have the lot and a storage shed there are some things we were able to leave here. He also started setting up our sheds.
The best part of the past three weeks was reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones.
Another new lot holder is Pam and Ross who we met in Quartzsite in January 09 and who we have not seen since then. So it was great to see them again and get to know them better. Bruce and Bunny came thru one night on their way back to Benson. We met them in January 09 and they adopted us. We were so green about the southwest and they helped us thru it with desert camping and Quartzsite. We saw them in Quartzsite this year and it is always good to see them again. Jan and Ken bought a home in Arizona City last year and we had a chance to see it – Beautiful. Plus we had a chance meeting at the Moose the last week before we all took off for the summer:
Here we are at the Moose – Jan, Pam, me, Ross, Andy, Ken:
Our friends Bruce and Sue were heading east and had a problem with their rig. So they were towed to Goodyear and had to wait for a part. They came to see us one day and last Tuesday was Bruce’s birthday, so we met them at the Hall of Flame and then had a great lunch at Crackers afterwards. It was good to see them again and hopefully they can continue their trip east soon.
Here we are at Crackers:
And we have been getting to know our neighbors in the park better – what wonderful folks. Can’t wait to get more involved next season.
We are so blessed!
So let’s talk about the weather – it was beautiful and now starting to get a little too hot for us. But one of the best things with staying this late is the wonderful flowers on the cacti (and others)
And a special treat – the saguaros are starting to bloom:
WOW! Seeing them in bloom was on my bucket list – so exciting!
So in Part 2 of Casa Grande I will cover the Hall of Flame – check it out!
