From the site: Living The Dream... - Thursday and Friday, December 18 and 19, 2014 (La Posa South LTVA, Quartzsite, AZ)

After our usual start to the day, we got our exercises over with and got on with our day. We each did our "own thing" today...Steve headed outside to take care of a few chores while I did my hair and cleaned up the kitchen.We loaded the boat back onto the truck and then Steve headed into town to run some errands (gas, propane, water) and to have some "alone time" wandering around some of the vendors. While he was gone, I did some baking and banking...and then sat outside reading.It was going on 3:00 when Steve got home. We were sitting outside when Rob and Peg popped by on their quad. They are 'regulars' that spend the winter here...coming down from Okotoks, Alberta. We got caught up over a drink and then they headed off...and we retreated ...Read more...

Riveted - Holiday Traditions




From the site: Riveted - Holiday Traditions

We're at our home in Portland for the holidays. Soon, our houseguests will arrive and the brief period of holiday traditions will begin. We are not a religious bunch, but we embrace it all and pick the parts we like best for our own traditions...like this naked headless Barbie wreath, for example, which hangs over the fireplace as I type: Here are some of our other holiday traditions: Christmas Tree We usually wait until everyone is here to do the tree thing. The past few years the tree has been procured and decorated on Christmas Eve (I know, it's late, but it's a fun Christmasy outing). We all pile into the truck (or if there are a lot of us, the truck AND the Camry) and drive out Zurbrugg Farms on Germantown Road, where we get all muddy ...Read more...

RVino - Bright Lights, Big Sell-Outs




From the site: RVino - Bright Lights, Big Sell-Outs

We take great pride in such things as never needing to plug into the grid(the last time was nine months ago), seeing how long we can go without needing to hook up and go dump our tanks (so far our record is six weeks), and seeing how cold the weather can get outside before we need to turn on the heat inside (so far, 9 degrees outside along with 41 degrees inside).So now we find ourselves plugged in at the Circus Circus RV park right on the Strip in Las Vegas. For the next 13 days we'll have unlimited electricity, endless hot showers, be eating at some very fine restaurants (including the best pizza East of NYC), and endure the diverse crowds that flock to this "impressive" metropolis over the holidays. I suppose we should feel guilty about ...Read more...

Life's Little Adventures - McDowell Sonoran Preserve




From the site: Life's Little Adventures - McDowell Sonoran Preserve

  First, a little history about Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve: Back in the 1990s the city and citizens of Scottsdale, AZ set about to acquire over 30,000 acres of the adjacent Sonoran desert and McDowell Mountains. They even approved two small tax increases over the years for land acquisition and improvements such as hiking trails and trailhead parking areas. There are now six trailheads and over 100 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, free for anyone to use. How nice of Scottsdale to preserve this magnificent landscape. Yesterday our friend Jane met us at the Granite Mountain trail, about halfway between the campground at McDowell Mt Park and her house in Cave Creek. We hiked just under 7 ...Read more...

Rob and Me in our Little RV - The Little RV Visits Flamingo Gardens




From the site: Rob and Me in our Little RV - The Little RV Visits Flamingo Gardens

We recently took a drive down to Ft. Lauderdale to visit Flamingo Gardens. I do love a flamingo! FlamingoFlamingo Gardens is a wildlife sanctuary, aviary and botanical gardens. We practically had the whole place to ourselves. We took the narrative tram ride and walked a bit to see the critters and the gardens. I wish I had paid more attention to the names of the plants and trees.

On the Road of Retirement - Loving our Time in San Diego…




From the site: On the Road of Retirement - Loving our Time in San Diego…

Wow, it is hard to believe that Katie has already been here for a week and that Christmas is only a few days away. Not to mention our two month stay here in San Diego will also come to an end in about two weeks. This had me thinking about all we have done in our time here and things yet to be done. Just before Katie came to visit we had dinner with a couple we met through RVillage. We first met for a walk around the Liberty Station area and stopped for a light lunch at the Stone Brewery. A week or so later they invited us over to dinner at their home.. They have a very nice home sitting on the hillside overlooking Mission Bay, the airport and much of north side of San Diego. We had a fabulous dinner with Dave and Patty and as an extra bonu ...Read more...
