February 3-8

With wind gusts up to 50 mph we blew out of Desert Hot Springs Monday morning, arriving at Westwind RV Resort around noon mountain time. Cold and breezy the first two days followed by warm, calm perfect Arizona weather. As always we had the coach and car washed and waxed by Sergio's; tacos at El Cositas; spent a morning in Los Algodones to get my haircut at Juanita's, purchase meds, Kahlua, candied pecans & almonds; shopped at Arizona Market Place for new patio chairs.
Chad & Leslie, our neighbors when we both had houses, are workcamping at Westwind so we shared some meals with them. Thursday Cat Spa friends Donna & Rick took us on a tour of Fortuna de Oro RV Resort where we took in the senior games pickleball tournament, happy hour with live music and wine tasting. Also visited with Karen & Larry who we met at Cat Spa last year, also staying at Fortuna. Friday, all the folks mentioned above met at Westwind for the fish fry (cod flown in from Alaska every Thursday). We were also joined by Jim & Angie who drove down from DHS and Paula & Mike, another set of former neighbors staying at the Palms.
Saturday morning we played pickleball at Fortuna. Eleven beautiful courts, friendly players and good competition. Thanks Donna & Rick for your hospitality.
Tomorrow we begin our journey east, stopping in Lordsburg, NM and Midland, Texas before arriving at Grand Prairie, Texas for a week stay to visit family.Read more
