It has been a busy and tiring last couple of days.  Our last post was on Sunday and at that time we were in El Paso Texas.  Monday morning, after jousting with Pilot/Flying J, we headed further west, through New Mexico, and into Arizona.  After driving the full width of Texas the previous couple of days, the trip through New Mexico and Arizona was like doing a wind spring, and the miles just rolled by and we found ourselves in Casa Grande Az. by early evening.  Earlier in the day, we had called our friends Byran and Billie who live in Casa Grande during the winter and arranged to have dinner with them Monday night.  Byran suggested we stay at Fiesta Grande RV park in Casa Grande for the night.  This turned out to be a good suggestion, particularly since they have a wonderful dog run area with REAL grass, fenced in, and a bunch of other puppies for them to play with.  Needless to say, Webster and Kassy had a great time playing with their new friends.

We also had a great time with Byran and Billie at their home, with great food and a fun time with all who attended dinner last night.  Linda and I returned to the coach tired, full and relaxed.  Thank you Byran and Billie for hosting us.

Tuesday morning, we go up, took the pups to play, and then packed up in preparation for the short hop up to Phoenix and our destination there, Royal Palm RV Resort.

This is a very nice resort park with all the usual amenities.  Our site is large and we are comfortable.  Tomorrow we are going to drive over to Quartzsite to scope out the territory in anticipation of staying there next winter.

Not everything was wonderful in our world on Sunday as we went round and round with the manager of the Flying J over how they were charging our diesel fuel on our card, but I won't get into that right now.  I will say that it took many phone calls and took until Monday night before Pilot finally got it straightened out.

Nancy Reagan Movie

It has been announced that Jane Fonda will be playing the part of Nancy Reagan in a new movie.  As a Vietnam vet, I have a real problem with the likes of Ms. Fonda playing a true patriot such as the heroic wife of a one of the greatest presidents ever.   I'm certain there will be formal protests of this move and I encourage all to participate in those protests.
