Day 3

Ron and Dee Great Adventure http://ronanddeegreatadventure.blogspot.com/


Having trouble blogging on my notebook.  I'm sure it's something I didn't do.  Another day on the road.  When we left Weatherford, OK at 7:30am it was still dark and raining.  It continued to rain the entire trip and though it lightened up, the sun never peaked thru.  We extended our destination plan since we gained a hour from Albuquerque,NM to Socorro, NM.  Possibly Tucson tomorrow.

Night One

We're on our way back to Arizona for the winter.  This year seems different.  I can't quite put my finger on why.  I want to go, so that's not the answer.  It's definitely getting to cold to sit on my front porch swing so I'm glad I'll be able to sit on our covered patio in AZ. 
The only difference that I can think of is we didn't leave the house vacant this time.  Our son and youngest grandson will be living there while we're gone.  I'm glad someone will be there most of the time.  They moved in the week before we left so I got to cook for them.  What a treat cooking for two hungry men.  We don't eat a lot anymore.  I tried to make extra so there would be leftovers.  Must have waken up my mommy genes.  I miss them.

It's Getting to be That Time of the Year.

Yep, it's time to head for the southwest.  Days are getting shorter and colder.  Hoping this year the trip will be the easiest.  By now we have about everything divided up between the houses and don't have to bring much back and forth but the clothes for travel.  There is a case of kraut already in the back of the van but that's because we can't get it in AZ and I would be hanged if I didn't bring smoked sausage and Sauer kraut to the monthly pot lucks. 
This year it will be a little difference in the IL house.  Our son and grandson have graciously moved into it while we're gone to keep an eye on it.  One works days and sleeps nights and the other works nights and sleeps days so beside the alarm system it will have human content. 
It's been a nice change having them here this week before we leave.  Cooking for Ron and I isn't very interesting but adding two healthy appetites to the mix makes for a lot more enjoyable meals. 
Sorry I haven't been a consistent blogger but the body was willing but the spirit was not.
