Casa Grande

After getting back Emmett, we left Las Vegas and went to an RV park in Casa Grande, which is about 30 miles south of Phoenix. I feel so bad because this is the first place we have gone (and we were there for two weeks!) that I didn't take any pictures. We had such a good time there. There were so many activities and meals and entertainment that we were busy all of the time. I had pulled a tendon in my ankle and Terry was fighting a bout of gout in his heal, so we rode our tandem bike a lot. Everyone knew who we were because of the bike.

I went to water aerobics and to stretching exercise classes. We went to a couple of seminars and we played pinochle one afternoon. We ate at the clubhouse several times and went to their entertainment at night.

On the way there, one of the tires on the condo blew apart. We were barely able to get off of the freeway to a motel parking lot before it went flat. We changed it there and had to buy four new tires after we got to Casa Grande. Terry had been telling me that the tires were ten years old and needed to be replaced! One of the seminars we went to at the Casa Grande park was on tires. Well, Terry had also been telling me that the pickup needed tires, especially on the front. Well, needless to say, we got new tires for the front of the pickup. Thank goodness it was a new month from the week before when we got the Condo tires (that means it is a new budget cycle).

One day Terry came back from a walk (to the restroom) and said there was someone who just pulled into the park with Idaho 1G license plates! It turned out to be Lester Wallace and his wife. Terry and he knew each other so we visited with them several times. Also, our son Ryan had a job interview in Phoenix while we were there, so he was with us for a few days. One of his best friends, Erik Thomas from Emmett, lives close by with his family, so we got to see them also. It seemed like "old home week!"
