SAD DAYS AT THE RVSUE AND CANINE CREW CAMP

I JUST LOVE RIDING IN THE JEEP  DAD

Been sitting here so long scratching my head for something to write about that I have wood splinters under my fingernails now.  Aside from a spin on my Motorcycle this morning it's been a rather run of the mill day.  Kelly spent some time at Deer Park Lodge again & we picked up the Jeep at the Bayfield Garage this afternoon.  Jeep's shocks & brakes were good, air filter only needed blowing out & not replacing.  All fluid levels checked, oil changed & tires rotated.  She's a good to go:))

FOREST FLOOR

We did receive an email today from the folks keeping any eye on our house in Congress Arizona & they said with all the recent rains the desert is looking about as green as they have ever seen it.  Oh how I would love to see the Sonoran desert in it’s finest greenery.  They also said our house is doing fine with no leaks.  Needless to say that is a big relief for us.

ANOTHER COUPLE MONTHS & THIS IS WHERE WE’LL BE:))

OH BOY, WONDER HOW I’M GONNA GET OUR 36’ CLASS A IN WHERE OUR 26’ CLASS C USED TO SIT

WHEN I LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS FROM JUST 8 MONTHS AGO I SEE THINGS I HAD ALREADY FORGOTTEN ABOUT

AND WE’LL SOON BE TAKING OUR MORNING WALKS RIGHT HERE IN THIS SCENIC DESERT JUST A BLOCK BEHIND OUR HOUSE

I talked to Aunt Jean in Sarasota Florida one night last week & she is still holding her own.  Still managing her morning walks & 18 hole Tuesdays on the golf course.  Said the humidity was so bad last Tuesday that by the 4th hole in the morning they were all soaking wet from sweating in the heat.  She has lived in Florida since the early 60's so I think it is something she has acclimatized to.  She sure handles humidity better than I do.

Not sure what is going on with my blog's side bar.  Readers have been saying things disappear & then reappear.  When I checked this morning my 'Fellow Bloggers' gadget was missing.  This afternoon it was back but soon gone again so I don't know what kind of shenanigans are going on there.  When I click on my tools icon I get a pop-up from Blogger saying, "Whoops that's an error.  We apologize for the inconvenience."  I don't know if other Bloggers are having similar problems with their blogs.

Pheebs & I spent most of the day in the house just staying cool in the A/C.  I went out a couple times, whacked some weeds & hastily retreated back into the house.  And I did take the Motorcycle for a run just to feel that that great blast of cooling warm air in my face.  Just gotta love that:))

 

I was saddened this morning to read of Spike's passing at RVSUE AND HER CANINE CREW.  We first met Sue & her two terriers Bridget & Spike at Darby Well road back on December 9th 2011.  The last time we saw Spike was in Arizona's Kofa Mountains when we hiked a trail near Palm Canyon on December 28th 2013.  Sad days at RV Sue's as Sue & Bridget begin their plans for continued travels without their best Pal & beloved fellow team member Spike.  Our thoughts are with Sue & Bridget as we remember hiking that Kofa Mountain trail with the intrepid little Spike. 

THE FIRST DAY WE MET SPIKE, RVSUE & BRIDGET BACK IN DECEMBER 2011

GROANER’S CORNER:(( The doctors may have won the annual softball game between themselves and their lawyer opponents, but they lost the public relations war. Here's how the lawyers reported the game: "The lawyers powered their way to a second place finish, while the doctors managed to finish next to last."
