Last week when Terry and I were having dinner at a local seafood restaurant, she noticed the label on a bottle of wine on display and said it reminded her of the artwork of Ted DeGrazia. That brought back a lot of memories for me. If you’re not into Southwestern art or haven’t lived in […]

We’ve all heard somebody say you can’t make this stuff up when they come across something that seems so bizarre it can’t be real, but it happens all the time. Sometimes it’s not the things that happen, but the things you hear. Things that make you say, huh? Here are some examples we have heard […]

Hitting The Trail

After a slow paced morning of checking our favorite blogs, reading and answering e-mails, and relaxing, we picked up Greg and Jan in the early afternoon for a trip up the Apache Trail. State Route 88, the Apache Trail, was built in the early 1900s to carry building materials to the Roosevelt Dam construction project […]

It’s getting way too hot here in Apache Junction for this kid. It was in the mid-90s yesterday and starting Monday we’re looking at triple digit temperatures for the next five days. I really want to be out of here. Unfortunately, while we will be leaving Wednesday morning, we’re headed for Tucson for at least […]

Okay guys, what did you give your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day? Flowers? Candy? Something slinky from one of those stores at the mall? Did you take her out to a nice dinner? Those are all great things, but I like to give Miss Terry something much more personal. So I gave her my cold. Yes, […]

After having to get up early all week while we were getting our TV cabinets upgraded at RV Renovators, I can’t begin to tell you how nice it was to sleep in yesterday morning. Especially given the weather! We had enjoyed temperatures in the low 80s for a while, but now winter has returned to […]

It’s Done!

I have to be honest, when we got up yesterday morning, I wasn’t entirely sure that the guys at RV Renovators would meet our deadline of getting finished by the end of the day. But Billy had told us not to worry, and true to his word, at 4:45 he backed our motorhome out of […]

While we think the folks here at RV Renovators are a great bunch, and they have treated us very well, I’ll sure be glad to tell them goodbye! This is our fourth day in the shop, and I’d really like to look out my window and see the Superstition Mountains, instead of mechanics and RV […]

For a week or so now, we have been up early every morning, and that’s a habit we really need to break. It’s ruining my bad reputation.  We left the Escapees Dreamcatcher RV Park in Deming, New Mexico a little after 9 a.m. and drove west on Interstate 10 to Lordsburg, where we stopped at […]
