Apache Junction, AZ h 108 l 72
The question is: Can we leave Arizona? And that will be Wednesday, May 30, 2012. I am so ready to get on the road. We have been sitting here since January and I just hope we can find our departure check sheet so we don’t forget something.
The surgeon was very pleased with how well Jim is healing and nobody wants to see us again until September. We will be taking our time heading up to Montana. 150 miles a day or so and maybe stay a couple of nights. Nice and easy so Jim doesn’t wear out. It will sure be nice to move north to cooler weather.
After the doctor’s appointment we stopped by to check on Aunt Happy. Her necklace had broke and she was sure glad to see Jim cause she knew he could fix it for her. Had a really fun visit with her. She needed us to go to the store for her and then we headed home to check on the girls. (I worry about the air conditioner breaking down.)
We celebrated by going to Superstition Skies for their two for one burgers. B & K do not play during the summer months and the place was almost empty. Said our goodbyes and see ya’s in the Fall.
Apache Junction is a whole different world when the snowbirds leave. We can go to Walmart and park close to the door instead of out in the north 40. Picking up a prescription only takes about 10 minutes instead of three hours. Restaurants are empty at 4:00 p.m. Getting a doctor’s appointment is easy-peasy. All of the license plates are from Arizona.
Now back to making a list of everything we need to get done. I’m so excited I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight.
I have been thinking about and praying for the both of you. So happy there is encouraging news! Glad you can head north at a nice pace and maybe hit some cool days !

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad!! So, you're leaving there on the 30th and Terry will be arriving on the 31st. Do you think he's waiting until you leave? Nope! So glad you're getting out of that heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are cleared for lift off! (well for departure anyway).
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that Jim has the a-okay to travel...we would get out the heat too if we could, but it is nice being able to get those close up spots at Walmart:)
ReplyDeletethat is great news..glad you have a departure date!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat news--cooler temps you will get for sure! Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteSure do know that great feeling inside when it's time to move on to new horizons & new adventures. That having to sit in one spot for a long time is a real downer for sure. Many happy miles ahead for you guys........:))
ReplyDeleteGreat News! I am going to start celebrating for you...starting tonight!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Great news and May 30 is just around the corner. It's just wonderful how the bad news has become good news. Life is good. Always love seeing and reading about Aunt Happy.
ReplyDeleteFree at last!! :)
ReplyDeleteI might just see ya in Montana! Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the great news. I know you and the furkids are ready to move on.
ReplyDeleteGreat news - on the road again!
ReplyDeleteGod is sooo good. Find that packing list and get apackin. Jim is a miracle on two feet! Whoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteHowdy Dixons & girls,
ReplyDeleteHOOOOORAY FOR JIM!!! GET OUT OF THERE BEFORE IT GET'S ANY HOTTTTTER!!!! Hope it's not another scorcher up
north this summer.. My older bro was in Billings one summer at THE AIRSTREAM INTERNATIONAL RALLY (that was for my s-i-l) when the temps were in the upper 90s...
Maybe it'll take consideration for Jim having to stay this long in Arizona and stay coool for y'all..
So glad you are hitting the road and taking it nice and slow...that's the best way. When we started out my limit was 300 miles, then 250, then 200, and now I think a good day is 150!! Easy out, easy in, set up and chill...so great. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat News! Now you be safe out on the road and slow is GOOD!
ReplyDeleteSuch good news. Travel slow, travel well.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finally have a departure date!
ReplyDeleteI worry about leaving Katie in the rig with the A/C on, too, when it's this hot. I'm never gone long, but I always also turn on the Fantastic fan in the ceiling and plug in the 9V Endless Breeze fan. Kind of back-up stuff, just in case.
Your American Legion evening sounds like a lot of fun, I love banjo music! :)
What a blessing to see answered prayers and the clear road ahead. May your path be straight and the winds at your tail. ;c)
ReplyDeleteWell now, there is some welcome news!
ReplyDeleteGreat news, the first departure in a while really does need the checklist.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for both of your! Maybe next year we can meet somewhere in between AJ and Sun City when I am down visiting my mom....xo
ReplyDeleteSix days and counting, probably every minute. We understand.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're cleared to travel! Have a Great Trip & a Wonderful Summer!
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice when the doctors tell you they don't want to see you for awhile!! So glad they have given you guys the green light to take off!! I am sure you will find cooler temps in Montana!!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!!
I am so glad to hear that you can finally get out of that heat !! I know you like warm temps. but when it gets over 90 and into the 100's - well that's just not fit to live in !!
