Pulling Little Al behind my Ford F150 is a pretty easy task since he weighs less than 4,000 lbs. On our way back to Texas, however, a wind storm in Las Cruces made the drive a little more treacherous. I wasn’t concerned about pulling, I was more concerned about Little Al having a “great fall”Continue reading “The Drive”

Ok, we made it home…more on that later…just catching up. We had a great 3 days in Tubac and were able to play golf 2 of them, it rained us out on Tuesday. Tubac has 27 holes so we got to try each 9 hole course out and leave our wake of sprayed shots andContinue reading “Fun In Tubac…No Divertido en Nogales”

We spent our last 2 days in Phoenix cramming in all that we had planned to do when we arrived. Since it was the weekend, we decided against the elevated golf course rates and did something that wouldn’t cost as much…shopping and eating. We of course had to stop by our annual Italian run toContinue reading “Goodbye Phoenix, Hello Tubac”

Fun can be defined differently by most people. My definition of fun has to do with outdoor sports, travel, and spending time with family and friends. Joanie also has fun in all above but you can also add finding deals on clothing at discount stores into her “fun” category. And now that you can addContinue reading “More Fun in Phoenix”

We decided to take a break on Monday from Joanie’s new addiction (golf) and try out our legs on a hike. We went back to one of our regular hikes and had a nice 4 mile trek, with only a 400’ elevation change, up the Lost Dog Wash Trail to the Taliesin Overlook…beautiful views alongContinue reading “Hiking & Golf (Again)”

We spent Saturday driving to Phoenix and setting up at our regular spot near the McDowell Mountains. Typical of any normal drive, or day with Joanie, there is no straight line going anywhere. We took several side trips along the way but when she found out about “the best sandwich and fudge shop” I knewContinue reading “On to Phoenix”

On Thursday we upped our game (and cost) and played at Arizona’s National Golf Course , a beautifully maintained club just northeast of the city. We were paired up with a nice couple from Missouri that had completed their bucket list of playing golf in every state. My goal of losing at least one ballContinue reading “Tubac Art Festival…and More Golf”

We’ve spent the last couple of days staying pretty busy during the day and doing all we can to get to bed at a reasonable time at night. When I say reasonable, I’m saying we’re doing our best to stay up past 8pm, since we don’t have WiFi or tv we just read and itContinue reading “Into The Mountains & More Golf”

The best thing about staying in a RV Resort without cable or WiFi is that you get to read a lot, reconnect with your traveling partner (she seems really nice), and you go to sleep early and wake up early. You also get to experience some of the longest days ever, when you wake upContinue reading “Living on Tucson Time”

We decided to leave for our annual “find the warmth” tour heading west on Sunday after a quick stop in Dallas. Turns out Mother Nature and Richardson ISD disagreed and delayed our actual departure until Thursday. Not a bad thing…we got to hang out with a nice couple and probably the 2 sweetest girls inContinue reading “Better late than never…”
