Just arrived in Apache Junction AZ




Well lets see the last time we visited we were on our way to Big Bend Park after the flat tire ordeal. Well the weather continued to be cold and rainy so we made an executive decision to pass Big Bend and go straight to Jack's sisters in Cochise AZ. We were driving along minding our own business when an 18 wheeler passed us hauling used cars. Just as he pulled into our lane a windshield off of one of the cars shattered and pelted us with broken glass. It only took a couple of hours to see that both windshields on the RV were broken. We were able to get them fixed while we visited Sandy and Carl.
Our stay with them was a good one. They are preparing to move to Arkansas and we helped them ready the house for sale and load some heavy horse corals as they are headed to Arkansas next week to build the corals. Jack's brother Eddie and his wife Sue came for several days and we had a really good time. They had just gotten another horse, one that was once used in rodeo, and he was really well trained. Jack and I both rode Doc, see the pictures I added. Also, Sophi was reunited with Little Bit. Little Bit is an Appaloosa colt, 2years old, she and Sophi have been always gotten along. They seemed to remember each other and were always checking each other out. I never knew that horses could be so spoiled. If you walked out side they always looked to see who it was, if you walked toward the coral they came right over and they nuzzle you to scratch their heads.
While in Cochise I met a cousin that I don't remember seeing since I have been grown. He is actually a 2nd cousin. Many of you remember my Aunt Garnet, she lived in AZ and was very active. I would visit her when in Phoenix on business or when we traveled to see Sandy and Carl. Well she passed away last summer at 97 and the cousin I met up with was her son Don. We had such a good visit and I met his wife Avis and went by his new Real Estate Business. He reminded me so much of my aunt.
