October 8, 2013 (Tuesday) Our temperatures have ranged from 40 degrees in the a.m. to 104+ degrees in the p.m. - and we have been in Texas, New Mexico and now Arizona.

WOW! WOW!  I can't believe that it has been almost 2 1/2 months since my last post, and I am so SORRY :-(

Well, since my last post we have helped our son Bobby and his daughter Haley to move to their new home and said our "good-bye's" to the old house in Royse City, TX.  We helped get things set up in the new home as much as we could.  On September 12th we moved the RV to Lewisville Lake Campground in Lewisville, TX so that we could spend some time with our daughter, Laura and her family.  Matthew came to the RV and spent a couple of nights with us and Dave and Matthew had a lot of fun playing games and working a puzzle of the United States.  Matthew taught Dave how to play Backgammon and Dave taught Matthew how to play checkers.  It was fun listening to them.  :-)  Then on Sept 17th we moved the RV to Bridgeport, TX and spend a couple of days doing nothing at Bay Landing.  I wanted to post some pictures but for some reason it won't let me anymore...................I will have to check that out, so I am so sorry, no pictures.

When we left Bridgeport, TX  we drove to Post, TX and spent 2 nights and then on to Clovis, NM.......................well now that campground (a Good Sam Park) was close to a train hub and we heard trains ALL night (not much sleep) we spent 2 nights there and then we drove on to Mountainair, NM on September 23rd and then on September 25th on to Grants, NM for 2 nights.  While we were there we took a tour of the Salinas Pueblo Missions.  Then on September 27th we were supposed to move to Holbrook, AZ and spend one night, but the weather was getting cold and the temperature was going to be a low of 27 degrees, (our Grey Lady, the RV, doesn't like those temps - neither does Dave  :-)) so we drove onto Cottonwood, AZ (a long day for us, but we stopped several times along the way).  We have been here at TT Verde Valley RV Resort and Campground since September 27th and we will be here until October 16th. 

We had to drive into Prescott, AZ on September 30th so that Dave could have blood work done at the lab and get his prescription refilled.  That was an all day trip, we drove over the Mingus Mountains and that was some wild ride, however a beautiful scenic drive.  

We drove into Sedona one day and drove around looking at all of the Red Rock Mountains, we stopped and had a picnic lunch and the I hiked to the Cathedral Rock to get some pictures, Dave's electric cart couldn't go all the way.  Dave did find the Bakery that has the Cranberry/Walnut bread that he likes.  Wish I could post some pictures on here. 

On Sunday Oct 6th after church we drove to Black Canyon City, AZ to Rock Springs Cafe' and met our nephew and his wife and her mother (they drove from Chandler, AZ) for lunch and had a great visit.  The Cafe' is famous for their pies and they were WONDERFUL!

Our neighbors here at the campground, Doug & Terri were from Riverside, CA  so they were able to tell us some things about CA.  (Doug hope you found the blog alright) We enjoyed having them for neighbors, hope to catch up with them again one day.

Well, I guess that brings me update for now anyway.  So, each of you take care and check back soon and see if I have been able to post some pictures. 

Until next time.............................
Love, Linda
