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.

On the Road Again

Well we are on the move again. We stayed in Harlingen one extra night to go see (Branson's) Country Artist Barbara Fairchild. She is a good friend of mom's and we saw she was coming to town. The show was great, it was a sell out of 400 tickets. It was held at a nearby Retirement Park. We took another couple with us and ended up at IHOP with Barbara and her husband Roy and 2 of their friends after the show. If was a great time.
We left Thurs. 2/8 and soon started having engine problems. We were sputtering and putting down the highway. We got about 30 miles down the road and found an RV repair shop and they couldn't get to us until this morning (Friday). They had full hookups in the parking lot so we spent the night in their parking lot and we were fixed and on our way by 10:30 a.m.. Well all was going well and the new plugs and wires had the RV rolling along better than ever when someone passed us waving their hands and making some kind of gestures. Jack decided he best stop and make sure we had no problems, well one flat tire change later we were on our way again. Luckily it was on the car and not the RV. So the 3rd day is the charm, right! We are going to get 4 new tires on the car in the morning and then be off again. We are headed to Big Bend Park in TX. I will try to post pictures of the park. Not sure when we will have Internet again.
Happy Trails :)
