Arizona Winter 2009-2010

We are still wintering in Arizona. I am pretty sure Tom is going to have to hog-tie me to get me to leave. I have so thoroughly enjoyed my lit bit of a paradise. I guess I'm kind of quirky. I think this older mobile home/RV park is delightful set as it is amongst citrus, dates and other green stuff. There is plenty of cacti around and we are just a few minutes walk from desert. We have had friends come visit with their RVs but they don't want to stay here. Somehow they think living in an RV park that resembles a parking lot is more pleasant. I will give you that a heated pool and nicer shower room might be a draw. I have found that few people swim in Arizona in the winter even if the pool is heated. AND I really don't want to gather my stuff to go shower where so many others have gone before if I don't have to.

We are heading into spring which means more rain. We have had lots of it and discovered our slide-out leaks. We got on top and saw how nasty our poor old roof has become. We ordered new seals and Tom, the handyman, will install it as soon as it arrives and time and sunshine allow.

Looks like the job is winding down. Another employee from the outfit that Tom consults with will be down tonight and they will hammer out the last of the program in a few weeks. Then Tom offered to leave for a few weeks and come back and catch any bugs from the program. Then I think we will be heading home. Maybe it will be springtime in Wyoming by then. I have had a taste of warmer weather here and while so far it has been pleasant I can imagine how hot it must get - maybe Tom won't have to hog-tie me after all!

Stay tuned - there might be more to come.
