Merry Christmas and
many blessings to you in 2020.
Here’s
where our travels took us in 2019.
January,
February and March we rolled around the country in our now 1 year old motorhome.
Casa Grande, Phoenix, Yuma and Tucson. In January, I turned 71 and Gordon
turned 79 years old. We cannot believe we are so OLD. BUT we are still having
lots of fun cruising and motorhoming around.
I finally got to attend the Tuscon Bead Show. I have been trying to get
there for 20 years. We got a lithium battery and solar panels on our rig, thanks
to our friend Tom who installed it all.
Our son, Garrick came for a visit, in Casa
Grande, AZ we cherish our time with him. It is magnificent to see the Dad/Son
love connection.
April and
May were spent in our lot in Pahrump. We love spending time here. We then drove
to San Francisco to attend our daughter-in-laws father’s 90th
birthday. A wonderful fancy and fun evening.
In June we spent
Father’s Day and granddaughter Ella’s 9th birthday in Morgan Hill, San
Jose with a few of our kids. This was a
lot of fun. After that we drove to
Oregon we had a nice visit with Elaine and Mel. We had a wonderful time until
Gordon fell and cracked his L1 in his back. The doctors gave him a few pills
and said we could still travel but Gordon had to do nothing but try to recover.
He was in a lot of pain. It took 2 months before he felt better.
July was an
awesome month, we spent time in Washington with friends, after that visit we
spend more time with other friends in Craig, Montana right up and close to the
Missouri river. In August we stayed with friends in Fairway, Montana. They
spoiled us to death. Rodeo, concert and showing us all around. We then headed
to Medora, North Dakota, this a wonderful surprise. So much history here, I was
surprised we hadn’t even heard of Medora before. We want to go back, then off to
the Grand Tetons that was a really an adventure. I got to go on the best horseback ride adventure
in Buffalo, Wyoming a bit scary but worth every minute. Friends from Montana
came to visit us for a few days. Thanks Gretchen and Frank.
In September
we went to Moab, Monument Valley and Sedona, right in the middle of the month
our niece gifted us a week at her time share in Flagstaff, Arizona. Wow, we are
spoiled. Thanks Dee n Joe. We also spent a fabulous couple of weeks in Show Low,
Arizona, one of our favorite spots in the world during summer time. We stayed
with our friends Jerie Berry and Phil they have an empty RV lot that they share
with us. Planning to be there again this summer.
October we
got a new refrigerator in our rig, this was in Phoenix, Arizona at National
Indoor RV where we bought our rig. Got to spend a week in Surprise, Arizona
with our daughter and fiancé. We then headed towards home to go on a campout
with our park. We had a great time in Tecopa, California. Tecopa has many
natural hot springs. You can only go in the hot springs nude.
November and
December finds us back in Pahrump, Nevada where we love being. We have leased
this lot for 20 years. Gordon who has
not driven for about 1 year now has hand controls, he is driving and we are so
happy this is available to him. On Thanksgiving our son, Garrick and girlfriend
Thuy came for a sweet visit. We had a nice dinner at our clubhouse. The next
day my son Wil came too and we all went in the desert to shoot our guns.
Our future plans include being in the San Francisco bay area
to attend our son Kevin’s Navy retirement, go on a 10 day cruise leaving from San
Francisco. Then to Gordon’s 80th birthday/family reunion party
(January 25th). Then who
knows where our motorhome, named Meli will take us next.
HAPPY TRAILS,
