November 30, 2019 Fiesta Grande RV Resort, Casa Grande AZ

Well today was a very productive day .  The last day of November.  Normal morning routine.  Up at 7:45.  Breakfast then I prepared some of the laundry, pulled the sheets off the bed and started to put on new sheets.   I decided I needed to wash the bedspread.   Then I prepared dinner in the instapot/crockpot.  Then a quick ride in the Teryx.  Betty is at home with the crud.  Then down to the laundry.   The one closest was full so I went to the one up front which was almost empty.  I sat and read my book while the clothes were laundered.  Back to rig and Steve was carving so I sat down and ate lunch and finished my book.  Another winner for Balducci.   And it left wide open for another Atlee Pine book.  Finished making the bed and putting the clothes away.  The I was finally able to do some cutting.   At four we went for another ride with a stop at the dog park. 
When we came back I decided to check on dinner .  I was using the instapot as a crockpot.  I opened it up and the potatoes and carrots were like rocks.  I turned it  up and added an hour.  At 6vi checked again.  Not much change.  I decided to put it under pressure for 10 minutes and saved the day.  Dinner was pretty good. 
Dishes TV and shower after that. 
Apparently Stephanie and Matt are splitting up.  He just moved in and now I guess he us looking for a new place to live.  Becky told her she needs to give it more time before they move in.  Too hard on the kids.  And I agree.  Sorry about Matt tho.  I really like him.  I think he had a lot of baggage not to mention PTSD.  of course  Stephanie can be a challenge.

Well when we went to bed the winged was blowing and making such a racket we had to pull in the bedroom slide.  There were lots of tree branches down around the park.  The streets were flooded when we got up and it was pouring rain.   We ate breakfast .  Betty wasn't feeling well so Steve and I set off for the quilters.   We stopped at the dog park and the girls in their raincoats  did their job.  Then off we went.   We stopped at dollar general but they didn't have much in the way of drinks.  We took the quilt to the quilters.  She has quite the studio.  Then a stop at Fry's for groceries.   What a wonderful store.  The guy who cheated us went out of business or moved to a different location.  I doubt that is the case as there was nothing directing people elsewhere.   Back to the rig to put away the groceries.   Steve got in a snit when I insisted we go get cash and get tickets for the tribute bands in the park.  We came back and I took the dogs for a run to the dog park.   Finally  it was time to sew.  I stopped at 4 :30 to walk the dogs.  Finalky back to the rig and fed the dogs.  We made chicken and rice in the instapot.   Not my favorite and we have enough left for another meal.  Yeah!.
Dishes and TV. 
Apparently Stephanie and Matt are on the brink of breaking it off.  So sad.  I think maybe she is pushing too hard for a commitment.

November 28, 2019 Fiesta Grande RV Resort, Casa Grande AZ

Happy Thanksgiving!.  It was a good day. I got up at 8 :15 .  We had some cereal.  Larry and Betty picked us up at 10:15 on the dot.  We were at Cracker Barrel  just in time. It was packed.  We did a little shopping then they sat us at 2 tables of 6.  There were 12 in our party.  We had a decent meal but nothing I liked.  Then we went to Dorothy's at Sunscape which is about 19 miles out of town.  Steve was talking about switching out there fir next winter.  But we pointed out that there would be no carving club out there.  We meet two new couples out there one from Gila Bend one from Tuscon.  They had a "clam shell" tent like structure out there to protect us from the weather and wind.  They served dessert.   We left about 3.  Came back here and sewed for awhile. Then fixed breakfast for dinner. Finally TV.  About 9  Steve decided he would make us hot chocolate.   It was yummy. Fortunately it is made with splenda. 

November 27, 2019 Fiesta Grande RV Resort, Casa Grande AZ

Well another busy day.  We got up and did chorse.  I started prepping my quilt to take it to the longarmer on Friday.  I got the leaders sewn on the edges.  Then we went and got our toes done.  Mine are very red and I love it. Then we got propane.  Steve got a hair cut and the lunch at Firehouse subs.  Picked up some meds at CVS.  Finally went home to walk the dogs.  I ironed the front and back of the quilt which took me quite awhile.  Betty came over with a bag of goodies from the retreat.   We talked for a while.  I finished up a few things then we ate dinner.  Leftover spaghetti which did not sit well with the master. Then off to Bingo where I won a Bingo.  A whole $18.00. Back home to for TV. 

November 26, 2019 Fiesta Grande RV Resort, Casa Grande AZ

Sunny today when I woke up at 8.  Steve took the dogs for a walk while I ate breakfast.   Steve took the Teryx to carving while I finished up the morning chores and did some cleaning.   Then I sat down to do some sewing.  Steve was back at 11 and we took a ride around the park.  Back to the rig and I continued sewing.  Steve went out and carved.  At 4:10 Larry and Betty picked us up and we went to Taco Tuesday.  Dorothy and her husband, j
Janet and John were there.  We stopped by the Neon Park in old town.   Interesting.   Came home for TV and ice cream for the rest of the night.  We need to call direct TV. 

November 25, 2019 Fiesta Grande RV Resort, Casa Grande AZ

Busy day today.  I got up at 8 and had breakfast.  Steve was chomping at the mouth to get the Teryx running.  We thought that we would have to put it on the charger for several hours but wonder of wonders it started right up.  I wonder if the guys were starting it up every once in a while.  Then after Steve took care of all his little chores we packed up the dogs and off we went.  We stopped at the office and registered and paid their pet fee of $200.00.  Ridiculous.   Then we went and got gas and of course gas for the Teryx.  Then over to Walmart for shopping.  Still a terrible Walmart.  Somethings never change.  We took a quick ride around the park hoping to catch up with Paul and Shirley Heebner.  We came home  and I put away the groceries and we ate lunch.  It looked like Steve was going to take a siesta so I went down and caught up with Betty.   I went thru a bunch of material that she was giving away.  We gossiped for an hour or so.  Then I came back to find Steve had taken all his stuff down from the loft but not mine.  He did set the table up.  I made arrangements to have my quilt taken to be quilted.  Friday at 10 am.  We took another cart ride and was able to hookup with the Heebner's.   The were just about to walk out the door.  Back to the rig with a stopover at the dog park.  The a bit more set up in the she shed then dinner and dishes.   Finally the dogs and I retired to the bedroom for TV. 

November 24, 2019 Fiesta Grande RV Resort, Casa Grande AZ

We made it to AZ without a mishap.  Steve checked the leaf Springs and thought something was wrong but decided he was wron . I hope we make it to Indiana to get our independent suspension without having to replace the springs again. 
I got up at 7:30 and we were ready to roll by 8:30.  We travelled about 300 miles.   Hiway 40 to 95 to 10 to 85 to 8. 
We arrived just about 4.  They led us to our site.  Betty was sitting outside waiting for us and waved as we went by.  Darlene and Ben, Kevin and his wife, and we saw Susie and Rosie.  We got the Teryx out of storage  and parked it in our lot.  We will have to charge the battery to get it to run.  The tarp was totally off when we got here.  Then dinner and TV
We still have alot more to set up and lots of things to take care including paying for our stay.
It is good to be back.  Now I am torn between two places.  71 degrees and sunny. 

November 23, 2019 Fenders RV Resort, Needles CA

We were up and out the door at 9am .  About an hour later than we planned.  We drove 414 miles taking highway 41 to 99 to 40.
We stopped in Tulare at the rest stop.  Then again for lunch in Boron at about 1:30.  We stopped in Bakersfield to gas up.  The plan was to get gas here and the again in AZ. Next time we will get gas in Barstow.   Unfortunately it was almost not enough .  We tried getting gas in Essex but they wanted $6.49a gallon and there was a line at the one working pump. So we decided that we would soldier on.  We followed the gos to Fenders where we were reserved.  Unfortunately the road was under construction and closed.  We stopped at a resort and cafe and I had to get out and help Steve turn around.  Of course it was pitch black outside.   We called  Fenders and got directions for the detour.  Of course we were sweating bullets as we watched the gas gauge fall. When we found Fenders we turned in the wrong driveway and had to back out onto the highway .  Once we arrived we tried pulling into the spot as they are pull thrust. The palms however way to close together so we ended up backing into the spot.  Now I remember why I don't like to arrive in the dark.  Once we did a fast hookup  then fed the dogs.  We got back in the truck to get gas and dinner. We were down to 10 Mike's to empty! We bought 3 gallons of as in Needles at 4.99 a gallon.  The took off to Bullhead City,  crossed the AZ border. We filled up at an Arco station about 3 miles  away for 2.99 a gallon.  Back to Needles for a wonderful Pizza dinner. Finally back to the rig for TV and games.
I forgot to mention that this will be our last stay at Fenders.  They failed to mention the road construction and detours when we made the reservations.   She did offer to comp our night's stay but Steve said no.  I guess you get what you pay for. 
The tire minder gave us a couple of false reading which also set us on edge.

November 22, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well we are off tomorrow.   I got up about 7 ish.  Breakfast and chores.  Then we hung out around doing last minute packing killing time to see if Steve's glasses came in the mail.  Steve gathered up all the garbage and we took it and the recycling and dropped it off on the way to check the mail.  God forbid we have more tonight and tomorrow morning. 
No luck finding the glasses in the mail.  So off we went to Fresno.  Steve dropped me off at the entrance to Kaiser in Fresno.   I went up to the optical department.   The girls up there were really on the ball.  After talking to me yesterday they retrieved Steve's glass from the mailroom and Steve was able to get his glasses as well.  Yay for Kaiser optical. 
We grabbed lunch at a nearby Subway.   Then beat feet back to the park.   Steve dropped me at the dog park and headed to the poke barn to wash the truck.   The dogs did their thing and we walked back to the rig.  I took my shower.  We hung out for awhile then Steve dumped.   I watched a movie and finished my book.  We had dinner and dishes were washed.   TV for the rest of the night. 

November 21, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well I took a break from weighing in  this morning.  It was a rather boring day.  I got up at 7 with the alarm clock.   I was scheduled to work in the mailroom.   I went down at 9:30 after chores .  Steve wanted a big breakfast this morning so I made sausage, eggs and he got potatoe patties.   There wasn't much mail si we were out of there pretty quick.  When I returned  we jumped in the cart and ended up at the dog park.  Back to the rig for lunch.  And of course more impeachment hearings.   I read off and on hoping to finish the newest Janet Evanovich books.  We took the dog pen down and packed it away.  Steve thinks he has a lot  left to do but really we are in good shape.  I put the finishing touches on the sewing room and all the sewing stuff including the machine.  Another cart ride then a movie.  Steve decided to take a motorcycle ride around 4 .  So I took the dogs for a'walk.  We had left over chili relleno casserole for dinner.  I did dishes.  Then back to the bedroom for a fun evening of TV. 
I miss my sewing.   Fir whatever reason I am not real anxious to leave the park.  It is getting really  colder here. Especially at night.  I think I am getting tired of traveling.   I am ready to settle down in one place again.  But I will not mention these feelings to Steve.

November 20, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well we are very close to departure.   Generally it was a quiet day here.  It was a much cooler day than we have become accustomed to.
Steve left early for propane duty. I got up at 8.  Got dressed then breakfast as usual.  Too the dogs for a good walk.  When we got back Steve pulled up in the cart.  I made the bed and sorted the laundry.   By 10 I was hard at work at the sewing machine.  I finished the soup cozies. I met all the goals I wanted to finish before leaving for Arizona.
We made a yummy lunch.   Then we headed to the laundry.  I only had enough soap for three loads.  So I got the laundry started and came home for more soap.  Finished up by 3:30.  Came back did a cart ride.  Put clothes away. 
We had an early  dinner of BBQ'ed steak which was wonderful.   Dishes and a long night of TV. 
No more sewing until we get to AZ.   Then the retreat will start.

November 19, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well our time here draws near.  I got up about 8 since we were sleeping in this morning.   Steve was fooling around on the computer so l volunteered to take the dogs for a walk.  We took a large loop up and around the hill.  We did morning chores.  I started sewing while Steve did outside chores.  Steve cleaned out the shed and tried putting the cart in there. He worked on doing body work on the trailer  .  We loaded the loft with things we are taking to Arizona.   We took an early cart ride.  I sewed off and on.  I finished my two candy bags for the boys and started on finishing the soup cozies.  We too another cart ride to the dog park.  At 3:30 we left for Oakhurst.   We had dinner with 6bpark members.  We sat and gossiped for awhile then made our Tuesday Von's run.  Came home and unloaded the few groceries we bought and I headed for the she shed ti sew.  I am hoping to finish the cozies which will be my last project before we leave.  Laundry day tomorrow.   Finally able to enjoy TV in the bedroom.   Apparently the TV in the main cabin is on the way out. 
We really like it here in the park. It will be a toss up weather we go back to AZ next winter. 

November 18, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well we finally finished the bedroom floor project.  Steve got up really early to be down at the propane center by  7:30. I got up at 8 and had breakfast then walked the dogs.  By the time I got done with my morning chores he was back around 10.  Then we went to work putting the molding down.  We finished by 12:30.  The laminate is on the reddish side but at least that disgusting carpet is gone. 
We put all the tools away then took a cart ride to say good bye to the McCords.  We ate a quick bite for lunch.
Then I finished quilting  my candy bags.   A quick dinner the I finished prepping the bags. Then TV and games. 
The dogs spent most of the afternoon outside in the pen chewing on their bully sticks.

November 17, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well it is almost time for us to go to our winter home in Arizona.   I will be sad to leave this place.  I really like it here. We got up and did our chores then took off about quarter after 8 for our breakfasts with the McCords.  We ate at the Fairway Cafe air the Yosemite Lakes golf course.  It was a good breakfast.  Then we left for Harbir Freight in Clovis where Steve bought lot of good stuff.  Then over to Lowes.  We were able to get a free sample rather than having to buy a whole box just to get one piece of laminate.   On the way home we checked out Millerton Lake and Table Mountain Casino. We are finally getting familiar with the area.  Back to the rig with a stop over at the dog park.  Steve was playing with his new saw and I started sewing.  We took a break for the ice cream social because Steve only had a $100 bill so I paid for the ice cream.  Back at the house sewed for awhile then we kind of snacked for dinner.  Then more sewing for me and football for Steve.  Shower and TV for the rest of the night . 
We took a break from the construction  today and will finish up tomorrow afternoon after propane duty. 

November 16, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Today Skye is 15 years old!. Wow that 15 years went fast.
I got up at 7.  I ate breakfast , got dressed and we went to work.  We pulled the old disgusting carpet out of the bedroom.  Pulled a million staples out of the floor the the under payment went down. Finally the floor boards went down.  Steve was so tired.   It was so hard for him to get up and down.  I was really getting worried.  The cut two pieces back to back wrong.  The same He took a nap and put the last few pieces in.  Of course we were short by a piece 3" × 18". 
We cleaned up put tools away and did our cart ride.  Steve showered while I fixed dinner.  Then I went up on the bed.  Hazel had to br carried over the new floor.  It will take her some time to get used to it.

I slept in until 8 this morning.   Steve was already up.  We had breakfast and did chores.  I started sewing.  Steve left at 10 for site inspection training.   He came home about 11:30 and ate lunch.  Then we went on a long  cart ride with a stop at the dog park.  Back to the rig and I ate lunch.  More sewing for me and Steve did some preliminary work on the bedroom  floor.  I sewed or rather prepared the candy bags by ironing the vinyl on.  Took the dogs for a long walk stopping by Shumakers place to check out their rig they just got back from the repair place.  Then we settled down for a rest when Steve saw that Christine Mowles put a bunch of fabric in the Craft room for people to take what the wanted .. so Steve  and I jumped into the cart and went through the tubs.  Score.  It was mostly juvenile prints and cheap fabrics.   But after dinner of tacos I changed out some of the backs on the candy bags.  Cut out yet another potholder. I have some other material for 7 more potholders that I am really excited about.  But those will have to wait for awhile.   Then TV and games fir the rest of the night.

November 14, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well another fun day  at the farm.  Got up about 7. Jumped on the scale as usual.  215.4 which is about down half a pound but at least it is down.  Did breakfast and chores.  Somehow time slipped away and Steve left for his work on the Ghost squad. Marie came over to shave my neck .  We sat and chatted til Steve came back.  She left about 11:30 .  We grabbed some lunch the took off for Lowes to get the flooring for the bedroom.   We got back about 2:30.  Jumped in the cart and went visiting.   Guess who we ran into.  Yes Gary McCord up by 237.  We then went to the dog park.   Then down through. The 500's and past the McCords.  We stopped to chat for quite a while.   She sent us home with tons of coffee and spinach she got from a food bank.  Seems like we keep running into the McCord's in the park.  We went home and I worked in the back while Steve worked in the shed.  Then we BBQ'ed chicken and ate it.  I worked some more on sewing projects.  The finished the evening with the usual TV shows and games.

November 13, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Steve left early for the propane.   I got at 7:30.  Breakfast and then a walk with the dogs.  Then chores.   I put the printer under the bed.  Unpacked the Chewy Box and  found a spot for the left over ostomy supplies.   Then I got ready for my cart ride to Marie's.

Steve came home and we lunched.  He left for the site committee training.  I continued to sew.  Steve came home and after he rested we went on our cart ride for the day. On our return I finished cutting the fabric  for the grandkids candy bags.  The I tried an instapot meal.  It turned out ok.  I would probably make it again.  Then dishes.  Ice cream and TV. 

November 12, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Another fun day in the park. I got up and got ready for my first day in the mail room.  It was really fun.  It took about 2 hours.  Then Steve and I jumped in the cart and did our daily tour.  Back to the rig for lunch and sewing. The dogs got a much needed bath and I was sopping gwwer as well.  Steve  carved and put the hitch back in the truck.  He is so happy to his tool chest and tools.  I sewed the rest of the afternoon.   At 3:30 we took off for Oakhurst for dinner at China Delight with the Park group.  Gary and Marie were there and we had a nice visit with them. The a quick stop at Von's for groceries.   Back to the rig.  Put the groceries  away.  Chewy order will be put away tomorrow.  TV for the remainder of the night.

November 11, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Good to be home.  I got up at 6:30. Steve was already up playing on the computer.  I got up and dressed.  Steve and Nikki loaded the tool chest as Steve could not wait for Chad to get up.  We said good bye to everyone and left for breakfast at Beef and Brew.  They only had one waitress working and she was running around with her head cut off.  Then we took off towards home.  We took 49 home and arrived here around 2:30.  Hit the dog run before we came home.  Then even tho the plan was to wait to unload the truck we immediately started unloading.  Steve played with his tools for a couple of hours while I unloaded thr truck.   We had a quick meal.  I unpacked my ostomy supplies.  Then hit the bedroom  to catchup  on my TV programs.

November 10, 2019 Acorn Hill Road, Placerville CA

Well today was a great day with the family.  I got up around 7.  It was a long way from the room to the bathroom.  Steve was playing on the new computer when I got up.  About 8:30 we went to the California Kitchen in downtown Placerville.  We drove through town and discovered that my favorite shopping spot is gone.  Combellecks is going out of business.
Back home after a great breakfast.  When I got home I set my purse down on the patio chair to take the dog's coat off.  I came in the house and about 5 minutes later I found I  panicked because I could not find my purse. i checked the  car twice.  No purse.  Steve tried to call my phone.  Still nothing. I called  the restaurant but  just as they were telling me they didn't  have anything Steve found it on the chair. What a relief.  Then we got ready to go to the Birthday party. Left Nikki's about 11:30.  The party was crowded and it was great to see everyone. Then at three we went to the Spaghetti Factory at Nimbus winery for our holiday part .  It was fun and yummy.

November 7, 2919 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well I got up and weighed this morning  as is my routine for Thursdays.   I was very disheartened to see that I gained again.  I came in at 216.1.  This is really bad.
I got up at 7 had breakfast and jumped into making another batch of Praline crunch. Then morning chores.  Hung out for awhile.  Pissed Steve off when I told what I really thought about the bust he made if me.  Probably wounded his ego and hurt some feelings.  He nursed his feeling while doing some carvings.
We ate lunch and I prepared for doing laundry.   Steve had back to back meetings so I did laundry while he had meetings.   I was able to finish at the same time he finished his meetings.  Back to the house and grabbed the dogs for the daily cart ride and trip to the dog park.
We waited about an hour the went into the city--coarsegold for dinner at Bob's Frosty.   It was ok but I don't think we will go back any time soon.   Besides the place is up for sale.
Back home to dishes and teeth brushing for the dogs. TV for the rest of the night.

November 6, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well alot was accomplished today.  Steve was up early and out the door by 7.  I slept in til 9 but feel much better.  I got up and too the puppies out right away.  Then breakfast.  I made the praline crunch and will have to make more tomorrow.   I finished 8 cozies today.   That means I won't have to mail them to Lindy.  I can take them to her at breakfast on Monday.  Steve had a meeting at 1 and I went down to the dog park and walked back. Around 4 we did our daily cart ride around the park  and visited with alot of people.

November 4, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Well it was a busy day.  Steve was off early to do the propane.  He left me with no heat so I turned on thevfireplae.  They were out of propane at the pump station as well or I should say the were unable to fill all the tanks. 
I had breakfast  then got dressed and walked the dogs.  Steve was home by 10:30.  Surprised me while I was tidying up.  I sewed for awhile and we had lunch.  Then a long ride around the park. Back for more sewing. I had a training in the mail room.   I was there til 3:30 .  I learned all about the mail and then some. Back home and more sewing and cutting.   Another ride around the park.   The dogs couldn't go to the dog park as it was occupied by the bird dogs.i walked them back from the top of the hill but they were more interested getting home and getting fed.  It was also getting pretty dark.  I finished up what I was working on.  Then dinner,dishes and time to relax.

November 3, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Today was the fall equinox.  We got an extra hour in our day.  I was up at 7 but actually slept for 8.  Got up and  made a double batch of pumpkin spice cookies.  Steve said he doesn't particularly like spice cookies but he ate quite a few cookies.  I added nuts and it was like pumpkin cake cookies.  I was done by 10:30.  About 11 we took a cart ride with the dogs to the dog park.  Back to the rig and off to Coarsegold for milk and a chicken lunch from Coarsegold market.  Back to the rig to gobble up our lunch.  Finally  some time to sew and carve.  At 2:15 we headed down to the Clubhouse for ice cream social.  We started talking to John and Sharon Burk.  He is also a wood worker.  We were there until 4 pm.  Then  back  home and made my dinner casserole.   While that was in the oven I took the dogs for a short walk. Dinner TV shower and more TV. 
Steve is getting more stubborn  about going back for a third year to Arizona. I hope we are still married  in March
I want to see how I feel about it when February comes along. 

November 2, 2019 Park of the Sierras, Coarsegold CA

Not a lot to report today.  I got up at 8 again.  Breakfast then morning chores.  Then I sat down to sew and Steve spent the morning carving.  About 12:30 we took our daily tour of the park.  Hazel saw a squirrel and jumped out of the moving cart.  Fortunately no injury.  Just scared me.  We came back for lunch the more sewing and carving.  At 4:30 I took the dogs for an extended walk.  Then dinner, dishes and the usual TV  and games. 
Sounds like a pretty dull rut we have gotten ourselves into.

Well it was a quiet day.  I got up at 8.  I got up at 7 and decided it was too dark to get up so I went back to bed for an hour.  Steve made chirso and eggs for breakfast.   I had eggs without the chirso.  Steve went out immediately and got to work taking the hitch out of the truck greasing it and raising it.  Then he put bands on the leaf Springs  and tightened the bolts.  After chores I  finished off 4 potholders holders.   Then I made 3 bags.    About 12:30 we took a cart ride to the Sullivans.  They are leaving for Pismo early tomorrow morning.   I had tummy problems while we were there.  We stopped off at the dog run.  Back to the rig.  More sewing.  We did our first attempt cooking in the instapot.   We did rib .  Then finished them off in the crock pot. We finished off dinner with hot chocolate.   After the dishes were done I headed up to the bedroom for TV and games.
