Casa Grande, AZ: Living The Good Life At The Pool

Today marked the first full day of our two week stay at Palm Creek RV & Golf Resort. First thing we did was explore the small town of Casa Grande. Nice place. Small enough to get around easily yet big enough to support 3-4 grocery stores: Safeway, Walmart Super center, Fry's, etc PLUS a shopping mall on the other side of the freeway with a couple of popular anchor stores. AND I found a sushi restaurant about ten minutes from here - most excellent.

MLA found one of those stores that combines all the ingredients you need for a meal you cook at home. You can assemble the ingredients yourself or simply grab a complete kit out of the refrigerator. She's happy -- super easy to put together and the price is reasonable.

We spent the afternoon doing laundry -- the laundry holds at least 20 machines and just happens to be next to the pool. To be more correct I should say MLA did laundry and I made sure the pool was working correctly. I did plan to help her fold however I was so engrossed in the book I was reading I didn't hear her say the clothes were dry. Is that a great book or what?

Weather has continued same as the last few weeks -- hot during the day and cool at night. Very nice.

We plan to do a few more activities tomorrow and I hope to get the RV washed (finally) sometime this week. Many places do not let you was the RV so I have been really wanting to get it clean and sparkling again. I'll have to work on one shady side at a time. Surface gets too hot otherwise not to mention it's too hot to work in the direct sun.

I mentioned Kasey and Jenna had been 'rear-ended' by a young diver on the way to the airport when they came out to see us two weeks ago. Well, Jenna's back has been giving her a fit. The Doctors say her muscles are so tense they have her spine in an "S" shape. They have given her muscle relaxers but so far no joy. The Doctor ordered a back brace which she will have to wear for a week. Of course, she won't be able to work for another week and she is worried about the impact on her job. With the economy you don't want your place of business to see they can 'get along' without out you.

She and all of our family and friends are in our prayers. We feel very blessed to be able to do what we are doing. I know we worked hard to get here however lots of people work hard and not all are able to enjoy travel the way we are.... Oh well, someone has to do it.

The toughest part is taking the first step of telling yourself you deserve it and then ignoring the 101 reasons why you shouldn't travel or it's not the perfect time to travel, etc. You simply have to leave home/your comfort zone, etc. and get started.

Hope to see you on the road...

See Ya!
