We spent April on our lot in Casa Grande AZ. It was nice and warm! We met many of our neighbors and made new friends. The pool was wonderful every afternoon to visit and cool off. We cleaned what was not needed in our rig and moved it to our storage shed. Also dug up some unwanted plants and cleaned up the junk that was left on the lot. Really looks good now!
Ralph's mom died April 10, so he flew up to Washington to help his dad for 2 weeks while I worked on the lot and relaxed in the sun! When he returned, we headed up to Mesa AZ to get our leveling system looked at, but nothing was really accomplished. We went to Verde Valley AZ for a few days and then headed to Pahrump NV. We ended up staying there longer due to wind and storms everywhere.
We finally found three days of a weather window to get to Washington without wind or snow and this was just past the middle of May! We stopped for a few days to see our daughters and their families. Sure love them all and those granddaughters are just precious!
We have spent 2 weeks in a mud hole at a campground in Mount Vernon WA. To say it has been cold and wet is an understatement! For the next few days it is supposed to be sunny before the rain returns. It will not even dry out in that time!
We have been busy getting his dad's basement cleaned out of junk (many dump runs) and our stuff we had left there. It is mostly done and tomorrow our daughters will be there to take most of it for their houses. Then a few trips to the Goodwill and we will be ready to tackle the garage!
The house is for sale and we have our fingers crossed that it will sell this summer so we can move his dad to an independent senior apartment in Mesa AZ. It is a beautiful place and is all inclusive! We can see ourselves there in the future.
We decided to move to the Mount Vernon Elks before the rains return so we do not have to live in mud holes. Without having to move and more centrally located, it will give us more time to work on cleaning out a house.
Our plan is to leave this area just after Labor Day and get to Casa Grande the end of Sept. Of course what happens with his dad and house may change our plans somewhat. Since we cleaned out the rig before coming we now have lots of room to take everything we need to keep back with us. Our little shed will be full!
