Definition of potpourri – 1: a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices that is usually kept in a jar and used for scent. 2: a miscellaneous collection. The second definition above pretty much describes today’s blog. This is the third in a collection of miscellaneous thoughts and info that I’m sharing because I really don’t […]
Yesterday was another busy day for all of us here at my daughter’s house in Taylor, Arizona, but we had a lot of fun. While I reviewed two more chapters of the audiobook version of Crazy Days in Big Lake, Terry and Tiffany went to a craft fair nearby, and then ran some errands. When […]
It’s time to move on, and we are leaving the Verde Valley Thousand Trails preserve today. Except for the often flakey Verizon internet service, this is one of our favorite campgrounds, and we love the Verde Valley region. But we’re ready for some new scenery. However, we’ll be making a trip to the shop on […]
One thing you can always count on in northern Arizona is the wind, and it’s blowing again today. The weather forecast says we can expect winds in the 25 – 30 mile per hour range, with gusts over 40 at times. I’m glad we’re going to be hunkered down in our home on wheels here […]

We didn’t want to announce it until after I finished up with my medical appointments at the VA hospital here in Tucson, just in case there were any unpleasant surprises waiting for me. But it looks like I’ll live another year at least, so we’re going to be at the Escapees Club’s Escapade RV rally […]
Well, a brand new year starts tomorrow and, as always, I’m excited to see what it holds for us. But first, it’s time for my annual year-end review, looking back at the twelve months behind us. And what a busy year it was! We started the year at the Escapees Sumter Oaks RV Park, near […]
It sure is nice sleeping with the windows open, instead of being all closed up and having the Winnebago’s basement air conditioner running day and night just to be comfortable! And it’s nice to be out of all of the smoke and haze in the Verde Valley. After sleeping in yesterday morning and then spending […]
