The motorscooter sat still today! There wasn't time..... And besides it was too cool in the morning as we were down in the 30s again last night.... Really that isn't much of a problem now that we have this house, because the heat comes on with the thermostat and it is very quiet..
In fact I really didn't notice it much the first time it ran last week.. With the fridge and the washer running the rest is just a whirr...
But today we were quite lucky because we were invited to attend an old fashioned picnic.... It was fresh burgers hand formed and seasoned on the outdoor grill... Carefully barbecued with the heat turned down low so they wouldn't be burned...
Then all the fixins, skillet baked beans, potato salad, deviled eggs, chips and fresh cut onions..... Are you hungry yet? Oh, and those chips had my nemesis, the jarred spicy cheese dip.... I can't stop..... had to have them take the bag away from me...
We had the luck and pleasure to be invited over to Sandie and Jim Dixon's place up in the North part of Apache Junction... Their park is the exact opposite of the RV mega resorts we have been staying at the last several years...
Oh, its as clean as a whistle and nicely paved with concrete patios just like all of the other parks in this area, but it is much smaller... at just over 100 spaces... There is no traffic to speak of.. An occasional car or pickup, but they pull into a neighboring lot and stop to say hi...
The day was becoming warm in the low 70s without a cloud in the sky. We talked for so long that that we almost stayed too long... But even as we tried to leave and walked out to the car we seemed to find yet another subject that we hadn't been over yet...
Jim is just getting over some surgery on a pesky blood vessel in his leg a couple of weeks ago, but he is making remarkable progress and was getting around almost as though nothing had happened... We were much relieved at his progress.
So we yet again, had another fine day at another party in the campgrounds of the Arizona desert..... Thanks Jim and Sandie....!!
