Tuesday in Yuma . . .

Jan and I headed out about 2:30 this afternoon to solicit more door prizes for the upcoming Gypsy Journal Rally here in Yuma. We continued to work our way down the list, picking up several more door prizes, and getting a few ‘Come back tomorrows”, about par for the course. Our daughter Brandi called about 3:30 [...]

Back to Work . . .

It was really nice to be able to just get up and relax this morning without having to pack up and travel somewhere. But after goofing off all morning we did have chores, Gypsy Journal Rally chores, for Nick. So about 1 pm Jan and I headed out to start soliciting gift certificates to give [...]

If it’s Sunday, it must be Yuma . . .

Since we didn’t have far to go this morning, only a 116 mile trip to Yuma. we slept in until about 8 before getting ready to travel. We pulled out of our site at Holt’s Shell RV Park about 10 am and traveled right across the parking lot to have a breakfast sandwich at the [...]

Project Day in Gila Bend . . .

The RV Park here in Gila Bend is one of my favorite places for getting projects done. They have a good hardware store, a good auto parts store, and not a lot of distractions. After our morning coffee, my first project was to remove the door trim panel on our truck. When I replaced the [...]

It’s Alive !!!!

I was up about 6:30 this morning, for two reasons. One, it was a travel day and I wanted to start packing things away, and two, I wanted to call Winegard about the problem with my Carryout Satellite Antenna. Their hours started at 7:30 CST so they would be open now. So after starting the [...]

Bummer !

We pulled out of our site at the Coachlight RV Park about 9:15 this morning, heading for Tucson, about 250 miles away. But our first stop was a Valero station about a mile and a half up the road. I had done some checking on GasBuddy and found diesel just got more expensive the further [...]

A Real Head Sweater . . .

After a nice, quiet morning of coffee and some of the delicious muffins that Jan and Gina baked last week, we headed out about 1 pm for an afternoon of errands and dinner. Our first stop was the Sam’s Club pharmacy to pick up a new prescription for Jan. Her doctor had changed one of [...]

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso, . . .

After a quiet night at Saddleback Mountain RV Park, and coffee and muffins this morning, we headed out about 10 am for Las Cruces, 240 miles away. 75 miles later, a little past Van Horn, we entered Mountain Standard Time, and our trip suddenly became an hour shorter Even going through El Paso was pretty [...]

Fed Deer and Sleepy Cats . . .

After coffee and muffins this morning, Jan finally got to use some of her deer corn. With all the rain we had while we’ve been here, it’s the first chance she’s had. As usual we had a great time visiting Gina and look forward to seeing her again soon, hopefully in June when we’re back [...]

‘Honerary’ Uncle Butterbean . . .

Finally we woke up to the sun this morning. And after coffee and some of the delicious muffins she and Gina made yesterday, Jan and I headed over to Gina’s about 11:30. Jan was happy to see it was a 1 gate day again, since yesterday it was a 2 gate day, and it was [...]
