Well it’s been awhile since I have written anything in the blog. I just want everyone to know that we both are doing fine and are enjoying the warm weather we are having here in Arizona. The move from Montana to Arizona has been quite a change for us. First of all we were pretty well spoiled when we were at Lonesomehurst. To have all the things to see and do within our reach was quite rewarding. We found our adventure to Arizona being more of a challenge. There are many things to see and do around here but we are waiting for some cooler weather to arrive.
We did make a short trip over to San Diego last week and spent a couple of days on the west coast then came back to Yuma and spent a night there. While in San Diego we went to the coast and enjoyed the beaches and the beauty of the ocean. For those of you who know me, I’m the type of person that is not too impressed with big cities and big buildings. Not to say there isn’t things out there in the architectural world that I would not like to see, I’m just not into the big cities. We visited Coronado Island and toured the hotel “del Coronado”. This hotel pictured in the slide show was built in 1888 and was at that time, the worlds largest resort/hotel and the first to use electrical lighting. The only thing that I saw that I did not care for was the $18 for a 1/2lb hamburger!! Give me the rivers, mountains, lakes, even the valleys and I can enjoy them all day long. We had a good time there and it was real nice to see green grass and trees. We had the chance to stop and see Bob and Agnes ( from West Yellowstone) and enjoyed our visit with them.
We’re starting to get some people coming into the park for winter but it is still early for most of the snowbirds. We’re told that most people will start showing up around the end of November and December. We have several places we hope to visit during the upcoming months and are looking forward to seeing them. We’ve met several people coming down this way from Canada to escape the cold winter there. For now most of the people that are coming into the park are just stopping for a day or two and are heading to Texas or other parts of Arizona.
We hope everyone back home will have a nice Thanksgiving and make every effort to visit with each other, if you can’t visit give a phone call. Family and friends are very precious to have so enjoy the opportunity to be with each other.
