It's Warm and Dry!

On Monday, we had had enough of Rockport Texas. It was usually cloudy, high 70's with 98% humidity and windy. We always felt wet and sticky, nothing would dry for days and all of our cabinet doors swelled so bad they would not close. Then, we were under live oak trees that hatched little fuzzy worms and they invaded us on Saturday. What a mess our roof was and still is even after scrubbing it for hours! We made it to the beach once when the wind wasn't to bad. That was a fun time with friends Jim and Sue. We watched a newly born dolphin trying to learning how to swim and follow his "mommy". Lots of dolphins playing and a couple of sea turtles swimming among the rocks.

Monday we drove to north of San Antonio, Tuesday to Las Cruces, New Mexico and Wednesday to Casa Grande AZ. Unfortunately when we were hooking up to leave Rockport our leveling system decided to take a vacation, so we had to stay hooked up for the trip and when we arrived here. We started at the Western Horizons Park since they had sites long enough for us. When the techs could not even look at it for a week, the engineer in Elkhart Indiana that designed and built the system spent many hours on the phone and we managed to get it working enough to be able to unhook. So we have moved to our lot at Sunscape. We had never seen it and it is even nicer than we thought, but it is a "bear" to get into. All the neighbors have welcomed us and we are really happy to be here and look forward to many winters here.

After almost 11,000 miles this trip across the north, down the east coast, several months in Florida and then west, we have decided we do not like humidity. It has been humid and cool at most places and even Florida was humid, cool and windy - not the 75-80 sunny days when we spent 3 winters there!

We have found our paradise here in Casa Grande! It is 98 today which will set records, but we are loving the sunny blue skies and dry air. Brown is beautiful and we are becoming desert rats!

We will be here a couple of weeks - it is supposed to cool to 80 on Monday! When we leave here, we will be stopping at the repair facility to see if they can fix our leveling system and then we will be heading north for the summer.
