Every year around this time our park has what’s known as
Spring Fling which is an excuse for normally sane people to get way outside of
normal. We tend to avoid most of the
activities but since we were here this year, took in the parade as it went past
our motor home. It was huge and very
colourful. After the parade we went to friends Ken and
Marie’s for a great potluck style lunch.
Their friends (and now ours) Ernie and Atha also from Grand Junction, CO
joined us. Later, we played Spinner,
another domino game which I managed to come last in both games.
Aileen and I went for a drive in the car out into a bit of
the area I ATV in. The Fish and Game or
someone has graded several roads out in the desert making them more easily
accessed by car. We went up to where
there is an overlook of some petroglyphs.
We’d taken a picnic lunch which we had down in a wash out of the
wind. We’ve had quite a bit of cold wind
this winter. We are back having mornings
right on the freezing mark but they are promising some warmer weather soon.
I’ve been out a couple times geocaching, once in the car for
a short while and yesterday with the ATV where I managed to get about four
hours in and found 34. I really enjoy
caching either on the
ATV or my bike.
ATV or my bike.
On Sunday, our Campbell River friends, Gay and Doug, spent
the day with us. We did a tour of the
Greek Monastery just south of Florence then wandered over to Casa Grande for a
late lunch. When we got home, Aileen had
a little rest while I took Doug and Gay up to our park’s cactus garden which
has name tags with all the plants.
Aileen had supper partly ready in the crockpot and just had to cook rice and carrots. Before
we knew it we were sitting down to another meal. After an enjoyable visit, the guys left about
7:30 for their drive back to Mesa where they have rented a condo. Gay and I had a good time sharing photo talk.
Jacquie and Jim left Friday morning for Yuma for a few days
then on to Quartzsite for a few more days.
From there, they will head straight home to BC. Cousin Terry who had a liver transplant in
the fall is doing very well and is in rehab getting her strength back. She could be going home by the end of
March. She was very sick for a long
time.

This year's theme was Mardi Gras so a good excuse to go a bit crazy
Lots of thought and effort went into many of these golf carts

The greenest I have seen the desert
We saw the sheep again in Box Canyon this afternoon. I think there were a dozen and first time I have seen them jump
