We arrived here 8 weeks ago today and plan to head out this Monday, April 12. We went to our last two spring training baseball games last week. The RV park we are in was totally full when we arrived here; now it's half empty with people heading for points north.
Friends Joe and Lindy, who live in the Phoenix area, were here yesterday for a brisket dinner cooked up by Chef Ernie. They brought Blue Moon beer and a bottle of red wine plus a salad. Add that to the brisket, beans that were simmered on the BBQ, and rolls - it was a yummy meal. We enjoyed a good visit, good food and good drinks.
Ernie had to restock his supply of "Bone Suckin' BBQ Sauce" today so we went to the specialty store in the little town where he found it last year. Then we decided to take a drive up a winding 2 lane road that we had gone up before which is set among enormous rock formations. There were wildflowers in yellow, orange and lilac colors set against the spring green of the grass and trees.
Tomorrow or Friday we plan to drive down to Tucson to go the the Sonoran Desert Museum which has plants and animals of the area and it's all outside. It's been recommended by several people we know.
The weather has been just perfect the last few weeks. Blue skies and sunshine - it does lift your spirits to wake up to sun and know it will actually last all day. - Joyce

Glad you have had such a wonderful time in Arizona. Now on to Texas! PLEASE bring back some warm weather with you - it's been so cold,wet,and windy here. Ernie just may have to put his long pants on again! See you in about 2 1/2 wks!
Its hard to believe your adventure in Arizona is coming to a close. After going there I can understand why you like it so well. From what I've heard you have probably seen more sunshine in 8 weeks in Arizona than you see in a whole year back home(ha). Hopefully the great weather will follow you home.
I've looked on line for the BBQ sauce and there is suppose to be a couple of places here in town that carry it. I'm going to hunt them down tomorrow....Diane
