Leaving Arizona

The winter months are over and spring is here. Cindy and I are spending our last 3 days here at Augies and are heading to Texas for a few weeks before our arrival in Estes Park, Colorado. This past couple of weeks we have enjoyed spending time with some of the people here in the park. We went to the Arizona Opry and had a meal and a show featuring John Denver. The man performing did a very good job of telling the life story and singing the songs recorded by John Denver.

We rode along with Larry and Evelyn and after doing some shopping they took us to Organ Pipe Pizza. It’s very hard to imagine what the place looked like just by seeing the pictures but it was a truly an amazing place. The organ and all of the attached pipes located throughout the building were installed at a cost of $1 million. The stage with the organ lowers into the floor when the organ is not being played and turns 180 degrees when it is being used.

We had the opportunity to ride in a parade being held in Gila Bend. John asked us if we wanted to take his 4-wheeler and join along for the fun. Talk about bringing back memories, this reminded us of all the times we were involved in the “Big” Little League Baseball parades from Sharpsville to the ball diamond. I think the whole town of Gila Bend turned out just like it seemed the whole town of Sharpsville did. We actually enjoyed watching the little kids running for the candy and filling up their bags ( reminds me of Dylan when Connor was in the parade).

As I stated in the first paragraph this is our final weekend at Augies. We would like to thank John and Donna for giving us the opportunity to come here and spend the winter. To all of the people we met while staying here we wish you the best that life has to offer, and for you to know we have been blessed to spend the winter months with you. Our travels will take us to the “Hill Country” of Texas for the next few weeks, and then we are heading to Estes Park the last week of April. Until then remember this ”Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anybody can start today and make a new end”
