Home in Arizona

All is well and it sure is great being back in Queen Valley!!

Prior to our leaving for QV, we were warned the tree on our lot was a little over grown and to bring pruning shears so we could get into our shed. Boy were they right! We have never seen this tree so bushy. Before we left for home last May, it was nothing but dead looking limbs. What a surprise to see it looking like this. Here is what the tree looked like when we pulled in on Sunday.



Ken quickly got busy and started trimming it way back. Here is Ken buried among the leaves. Sure hope there aren't any strange critters in there (several snakes have been seen in park lately).



Finally, back to normal!! Look, you can actually see the shed now.



These last few days have been fantastic! Temperatures are in the mid 90s every day with beautiful evenings. There has been no rain in Arizona for over 30 days and so far there is no sign of any in sight. It's supposed to remain warm for a few more days, then cool down to the mid 80s.

The season here is in full swing and lots of events are planned. We already have gone to an ice cream social that was held around the pool and celebrated wedding anniversaries with our next door neighbor (theirs and ours) by going out to a marvelous Mexican restaurant in Florence (a few miles south of us). Too bad we aren't going to stay here a bit longer because there are some really nice specials being offered on tours to Las Vegas and other places. Alas, we have to be back in Salem on the 14th, so we are leaving here on the 10th or 11th.

While here in the RV park, we have no cell service, so am having to use dial up for posts. It is very slow! Sure didn't realize how much I like my air card! There has been talk that a cell tower has been approved for the area and permits are being reviewed, but pretty sure it won't happen this year. Should you wish to call us, our land line here in the park is: 520-463-0198. Once we get out of the park and on the main highway, our cells do work, so leaving a message is good, but it may take several days before we get them.

More later! Love & Hugs to ALL!
