Did you think I had forgotten you? With all of our new adventures we have had, I would have filled a whole diary by now. We love the idea of wintering in Arizona so well, that we have made a life changing decision. With the cost of fuel rising and campsites being overcrowded, Pat and I have purchased a park model trailer to be delivered on January 5, 2011. We wanted to use our fifth wheel we have and make it permanent in the park - but they don't allow that any longer. We have made an investment, that will never be depreciating. Baby boomers will always make it increase with demand.
This rv park, is so welcoming. The owners are very involved and take time to get acquainted with all of us, and call us by our first names. Pat loves horseshoes, billiards and happy hours. I love craft day, water aerobics, Mexican Train dominoes, and it seems like there is always some sunshine that needs to be soaked up. When we return to Idaho, we will think of Arizona, when we are in Arizona, we always hear what is happening in Idaho and Spokane. We don't miss the snow, however!!
Pat is looking forward to landscaping our new lot - a grapefruit tree, and low growing flowers that will survive up to 120 degree heat. I myself, will make a southwestern design wall quilt. I have picked the pattern out. It has a lizard on it. I have seen a couple of them by our palm tree scurrying here and there.
If I can say anything about retirement - never downplay the unknown. The sky is beautiful every day and with the hillsides to accent the colors of the sky, it is a wonderful vignette. How do we know unless we try?
