Well here we are, finally in Mesa, Az where we plan to spend most of the winter of 2013/2014. We arrived Sunday the 29th. We will be going home sometime in mid November and returning to Mesa in mid January. Maybe sooner if our daughter Mindy and her husband Ray get tired of us before the two months are up.
Sorry we haven't done a good job of keeping this blog up to date. I could blame it google for having our email messed up for the last two weeks but that's not the real reason. I could blame it on a number of other things but bottom line is we just didn't stay at it. We've been having a great time in our travels.
From Mitchell's Corn Place we headed home and spent about two weeks with the kids. It was great to be there for a short time but after only being gone for four weeks we were glad to be on the road when we left.
We went to Hutchinson Kansas to visit Shirley's cousin, Calvin and his wife Jackie. While there we also visited a dear old friend Jackie Tibbetts. It was great to see her and see what she doing so well.
When we left Hutch we made our way to Pagosa Springs, Co. and stayed with Joe and Cathy Eck, some great friends from Olathe. They moved to Pagosa about four years ago and built a great home on the eastern side of the town. By now they have both retired and are in Overland Park making sure their second son's marriage goes as planned. We have a great time in Paposa. On Sat went to Durango to an art festival and had a great time. Before we left Durango we ate at a really old hotel, can't think of the name of it. We sat in the bar and while there, a young man turned around and started talking to me. He had been in there a little too long but he was a really nice guy so we started up a conversation. Just barily into the conversation he admitted to being a little drunk and than proceeded to tell me that about a year ago he got arrested for DUI. He said he sure wasn't going to go through that again. I told him I had never been arrested for DUI but had arrested several for DUI. This really caught him off guard and he sorted of stammered but than said "so you're a cop" and I answered with "retired". He than started laughing and said something to the effect of all the people in this place you're probably the only cop in here and here I am spilling my guts to you about being arrested for DUI and here I am almost drunk. We both laughed about it and introduced our selves. His name is Ryan and he is a really nice guy. I wish him a lot of luck cause he may need it.
While in Pagosa we had to have a little work done on the motorhome, the reservoir tank on the radiator broke and needed to be replace. Not a biggie just one of those things that may happen. I'm glad we purchased an extended warranty with the motorhome.
Well I'm going to try to put some pictures on here but will have to get off the lap top and on to the Ipad as that is where the pictures are.
Until next time, later friends.
