Where does the time go? My last post talked about less than 2 weeks of work left. Since then, I have completed my work, Rich had a nice going away BBQ for us, we made a visit to Death Valley, and 2 weeks ago today, we pulled out of Las Vegas. Hopefully, you have seen some of the pictures Rich posted on Facebook.
After a night in Bullhead City, AZ, we reached Camp Verde, AZ, to meet up with friends Rick & Pam, Jerry & Karen. 4 days & nights of eating, sightseeing, visiting, playing games, and, Oh ya, drinking. What fun!
Monday, the 12th, we stopped in Chandler to meet Harrison friends Bill & Maryann for lunch, then on to Benson, AZ.
More friends. Jerry & Sherri who run the RV Park; Bob & Betty who we 1st met at Valley Vista 2 years ago, again near Denver in Sept 08; Ron & Doris who we met in Rockport, TX winter of 2005! One day we drove to Green Valley to visit Long Lake friends Jim & Betty, another day of getting caught up with "all the news".
Apr 17 we stopped overnight in Deming, NM, a chance to visit with former Long Lake friends, Bob & Sharon, and have dinner. So good to see them again.
4 days on the road, and we arrived in Lewisville, TX, and after getting settled down, able to have dinner with Deb, John, Sara & Cami last night. Like their new house. We are here for 6 days, so a chance to relax after covering over 1500 miles. Hopefully, I will find time to post some pictures soon.
Sad news: Over the past 8 years, we have had a chance to meet up with Cousin Jim & LaVon, and spend some time camping with them. We have visited Quartzsite, Organ Pipe Cactus Nat'l Monument, Casa Grande, and St David, AZ., also met up with them in Michigan the summer of 2008. Good times. Sat, the 10th, we drove to Payson to visit, Jim had just come home from the hospital, was on oxygen. We had a Great, but short, visit. Tuesday, we received word that Jim had passed away. Our hearts go out to LaVon, and the family. Jim will be sorely missed.
That's all for today, stay tuned.

Don asked if I wanted to go with them to see you in Marion, so keep us posted on where you are. Sort of doubt if I'll make it, but yoou never know.
P.S. Glad to see someone is still posting on their blog. Went through them all the other night and looks like Facebook has really taken over. Personally, I like the blogs better, because they don't disappear so soon and if I miss a day or two, I can still catch up. Ain't technology fun?
P.S.S. Your itinerary doesn't help much. :-)
