Erin arrived at the Phoenix airport and it was a joyous event to see our youngest. By the time we had dinner and unpacked her, the evening was at an end. The morning sun beckoned us to the pool the next morning and we spent the day lying in the sun and alternating between the [...]
Upon returning from our Mexico trip we received a call from the California Angels people, our new employers. Their suggestion was to move our home a half hour north as we may like the amenities and we would be closer to Surprise Stadium and the Jobbing Arena. I was a bit hesitant as the drive [...]
An award was given to me today in the spirit of “pass it on”. Click here if you should want to see this award. If you check along the right side of this blog you shall see a link to Short Stories by Michael Lockridge. Mike is a retired correctional officer, compelling author, and sometime [...]
I thought it was just the start of another laundry day, but while I was loading the washers I received a call from Tom and Deana inviting us down to Yuma. The talk was of making a trip across the border into Mexico. Los Algodones to be exact. So after finishing the folding of the [...]
On our morning walk we came upon Bernie and his wife cleaning out their trailer. They had sold it and were preparing to make room for the many designer purses they sell. Since my bike was out of our trailer and I had the room, I offered them use of mine. In the conversational exchange [...]

The weather has been great here and my next door neighbor, Chris, asked [...]
Sometimes I wonder how I ever found the time to do things prior to retirement. It seems as if I can’t find enough time in the day to finish what I want despite not having a job at the present time. For example, we took our mile walk after coffee to give our bodies a [...]
The first thing we did when landing here outside of Phoenix was to find a gym. Too many miles behind the wheel and a sedentary life the last two weeks has made me feel stiff and stuffed. We scoped a few out but just on a notion we wanted to check out an upscale facility [...]
A day after leaving Mesa, AZ we rolled a bit west of Phoenix and found the Cotton Lane RV Park in Goodyear, AZ. We settled here, paid Loretta in the office for the month and were escorted to our site. Just when we had the chairs, flowers, mats, grille and all other paraphenalia out, we [...]
We left Tucson a few days ago, making it to Mesa, AZ and planned on staying at Twin Palms RV Park. This venue had only twenty-one units and wasn’t a park at all. I was behind a storage facility and we went past it twice before we found the entrance, which is just a turn [...]
