Casa Grande, AZ: Is It The Weekend Already?

Mary Lynn & I have trouble remembering the day of the week. Some of you might find it hard to belive however it's true. Time seems to run at a different pace when you are RVing, especially when you are RVing full time. 

Not only does time seem to run at a slower speed, time also has much less significance than it held when we were working. It's just not that important anymore.

Don't get me wrong, it still has some importance. I mean, without knowing the day of the week we wouldn't know if we were supposed to go to play horseshoes or pickleball; dance lessons or lapidary; golf or softball. How would we know? To keep it all straight we keep an activity calendar on the refrigerator.

So when I told MLA that on the way to water volleyball today I ran into Larry & Shirley, and they want to take the motorcycles out for a ride on Saturday, we both had to pause and think about it for a moment. A quick consult with the calendar and we realized tomorrow is Saturday. 

Cool, because there are two 

community events taking place in 

Casa Grande this weekend plus the Pickleball Tournament will finish up this Sunday here at Palm Creek Golf & RV Resort. 

The Casa Grande airport is hosting 

the great "Cactus Fly-in", which I am very excited to go see & photograph. Plus there is an Car Show & Chili Bake-off in downtown Casa Grande. I get to ride the motorcycle, sample different styles of chili plus take photo's of cool cars & airplanes. Is this a great country or what?

I came home from water volleyball this afternoon and immediately knew something was up. Mary Lynn couldn't wait to show me what she had purchased while out shopping today. She gets that way when she finds a great sale with lots of bargains. Sure enough, she had a big bag full of items that had been marked down to just a dollar or two. 

Her two best finds?

The first is a large coffee table book on the polar regions, including lots of information on Alaska.The book has lots of beautiful pictures of the animal, landscapes, and scenery we can expect to see when we travel to Alaska by RV this summer. Very cool; I think she is actually starting to get excited about this trip. As I said before she is basically a warm weather person these days and our trip to Alaska has her a little concerned.  

The second item is also a large coffee table book, this one is about Birds of Prey. Again, this book is chock full of large beautiful pictures. Many of the photos are simply amazing.

Now, I hear some of you asking "Dale, what about the rule you have about buying anything while living in the RV? You know, the one you have where you must make room for any new item you bring into the RV by removing something of similar size & weight. What about that rule?". 

Well, since we'll be here at Palm Creek for another month or so, we agreed she could bring these books into the RV as long as she donates them to the park's library before we take off.

Also, MLA being the smart lady that she is, I had to modify our shopping rule a little bit. I had to specify that the item(s) MLA takes out of the RV have to be items belonging to her, not me! I told you she is tricky...

Very excited about tomorrow's activities. I'll be sure to take some photo's and share them with you in the blog.

See Ya!
