No, we have not dropped off the face of the earth 😊. With the best of intentions, I started the following post… and then lost connectivity again. The combination of ‘zero to not much’ wifi or ability to open, write, transfer photos, etc., has created some stress around the concept of ‘staying in touch’. But, we shall persevere, all the while reminiscing about the ‘good old days’. You remember them, right? The day before you left on a trip you would phone a friend (via a hard wired rotary phone) tell them you were leaving, approximately where you were going, and when you expected to be back. You’d also promise to write if you could find a post office (and rarely did) and then carried on your merry way. Things have certainly changed; and I’m not complaining… I’m just sayin’. Today we enjoy instant contact, everlasting memory, the ability to research, review and lookup - all sorts of communications and their results, links. sources, etc. The list is exhausting. Oh for the infamous tin can and string- my personal favourite form of communication.
Now then, after that wee rant, I shall carry on with saying howdy, how are you, and we are fine.
Written on Wednesday, March 1st:
It’s 2000 hrs. (8 PM) and Lucy the trailer is rockin’ and rollin’, and not to music!! The rain is pelting down and the gusts of wind are hitting us like waves of heavy surf. Luckily we got home from a happy hour visit just as the rain began to fall. The wind had been blowing and gusting most of the afternoon but has picked up and is making its presence felt in all quarters. This is one of those ‘camping’ days when, armed with the weather forecast (for rain), we planned to spend half the day in a laundromat. Turns out, every other camper had the same notion and the laundromat was jam packed for the whole day. BUT, we got it done and were home in time for a walk and happy hour…Phew!
What we hadn’t prepared for was the SNOW that followed the rain. Yes, it’s beautiful on the mountain tops, but waking up to snow on our doorstep, truck, trailer and campsite? That wasn’t quite so ‘beautiful’. This trip has indeed been a unique visit to ‘sunny’ Arizona. We have yet to put away our cold weather clothing and most of the warm weather shorts and T’s are still packed at the back of the cupboard… waiting their turn which may never come (before end of trip) at this rate.
