I am still sticking to my guns about no morning TV news programs. Our TV remains off & how nice it is to start the day without all the repetitive doom & gloom grunge, & bobble headed babblegiggled announcers.  Been nearly 3 weeks now & I’m doin good:))

Always so funny every morning when I get up how Pheebs immediately comes over & lays down in my vacated spot with her head on my pillow.  Every morning, without fail, she does this.  Also, at night when I head for bed, she will race into my room, jump on my bed & stretch out right where I sleep.  We always have a big tussle for the spot then & she really enjoys that.  Much the same in the morning.  Soon as she senses I am waking up she is right on top of me, tailing wagging furiously.  We start every morning with a big snugly tussle & lots of happy smooches. She then grabs my spot before my feet even hit the floor.  She is just the greatest little dog of ever:))

Our night time temps remained in the high 50’s & how nice not to have heaters running for a change.  And, how nice to have some short sleeve shirt days happening again.  Well, except for today.  Cloudy & cool with a few rain sprinkles.

SURE HOPE MOM DROPS SOMETHING SOON

Had an email from long time reader Ray a couple weeks ago saying he & Cindy would be in our area at the Escapee’s North Ranch boot camp seminar this week-end.  Finishing up some classes today they drove over to our place this afternoon for a visit.  New RVing Fulltimers from Salt Lake City, Ray & Cindy haul a big Montana 40’ Fifth Wheel.  Nice quiet couple.  Cindy will be taking driving classes at North Ranch this week familiarizing herself with all the in’s & out’s of big rig trailer towing.  Ray is new to blogging as well so ya might want to drop over, say ‘Hi’, & see how Cindy makes out this week with their big dually Chevy 3500 & looooong 5 slided 5th wheel.  Could be quite an adventure for her:))  RAY & CINDY'S RV TRAVELS

RECENT RAINS HAVE SPROUTED SOME GRASS 

Remember me talking about Plan B a few days ago after our disappointing day in Quartzsite.  Well, plan B is now into full swing & it’s a 2 parter with the first part taking place very shortly.   We are going to try & sell the Motorhome ourselves.

Kelly stopped into the CONGRESS DEPOT MARKETPLACE Saturday & mentioned to Judy we are going to sell our Motorhome.  Judy said to bring the rig on up to her place on busy highway 89 between Phoenix & Prescott where it will have high visibility.  So, that is what we are going to do.  Kelly is also going to list it on Craig’s list.   We’ll see what happens.  If it doesn’t sell by the time we are ready to head back to Canada in April, we will pack our little knapsacks & begin hitchhiking out of town.  Pheebs too……………

Of course there is always the second part to Plan B & I may very well have some news about that sometime this week.  And, it might have something to do with Parker Arizona:))

  2. Skittlez steals our pillows in the mornings also. Scooter wants to be sure she's covered up when we get out of bed. They just crack me up. Good luck with selling the Damon.

  3. Plan B sounds good! If it doesn't sell from being "highly visible", I would think lots of people will see it on Craig's List. And it is a beautiful motorhome. You can always list your followers as references, too, right? Of course you've done it again. I did a search on Parker, AZ. Didn't find a good enough clue for me, though. Best of luck!!!!

  12. Our little Buddy, does the exact same thing in bed. Also as soon as Joe gets up from the sofa he jumps up there and curls up. They are characters.
