Just another sunny day!

About 99.9% of the time since we arrived in Arizona we wake up, look outside and say, "Oh darn! Another sunny, cloudless Arizona day!" And today was certainly one of those! The temp was only about 74, but it felt hot in the sun so we spent the afternoon at the pool - again.

Now don't think that being a snow bird is all play and no work. Last week the fuel pump failed on our Excursion, so we had to have it towed to a Ford dealer. Later in the week I spent two days washing and waxing it. Then I decided to wash & wax the Gold Wing. And when our mail comes in each week there are the inevitable bills to be paid. So it's not all wine and roses. (I suspect that still won't get us any sympathy.) However, tomorrow we ride again. Where? We'll decide that when we see the weather forecast tomorrow morning.

Now, for another recap of our Arizona activities. When we arrived at the Desert Shadows RV Resort in Phoenix we were soon immersed in the activities offered. We swam (indoor, heated pool) at least 3 days a week, took line dancing lessons 4 times a week, attended weekly dances and pancake breakfasts, and various weekly shows from Branson or Vegas. There was so much to do that it was hard to find time to ride the Wing. But ride we did.

From Old Scottsdale - Jan. 2008

One of our favorite places was Old Scottsdale. The shops were a bit pricey. But the park was beautiful. And twice a week the Native Americans put on a free performance demonstrating various dances.

You should also be able to double click on a picture and that will take you to the album that contains all of the related pictures. However, remember to use the back arrow to return here.

Oops, I think I'm being too wordy again. I'll try to do better.
