Apache Junction, AZ High 101 Low 79
Getting ready to head north.
We tried to get Jim’s doctor’s appointment moved up but no luck so we’re still stuck here in the heat. His appointment with his cardiologist is next Wednesday and if all goes well (we expect it to) we will be out of town on Thursday.
Jim gets up early and does some waxing on the rig when it’s still relatively cool. I try not to let him over do because I know it’s hard on him with his breathing but you know what these men are like.
We did get the patio table put away. The chairs are still out even though it’s too hot to sit outside. We do use them when the girls want to go out and lay on the hot rocks for a couple of minutes.
As of yesterday, I think the park is down to those who stay all year round, Ginny and Mickey, and us. Ginny and Mickey will be leaving Saturday. They plan on spending the summer up at Show Low where it is much cooler than it is here.
Last Saturday, we went to the Arizona Speedway with Ginny and Mickey. It’s a dirt track and we watched superstocks, sprints, mini-sprints, and bombers. We had a great time.
Ran a bunch of errands – post office, Walgreens, bank, got the girl’s nails clipped, Petsmart to make sure we have enough dog food. (That’s always a priority, you know.) That way we don’t have to find a store along the way that carries the special venison food they eat. Also went to Good Will to drop off a couple of bags of stuff that we cleaned out.
Slowly working through that get-ready-to-go list.
Make sure Jim goes slow on that waxing and polishing, it's hard enough when it's cool.
ReplyDeleteAll that running around can be so tiring. I would rather work outside. Going to town is sure a chore.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to cooler weather soon, it is really starting to heat up here now. Up to 87 today.
Looks like we are both anxiously awaiting our departures to escape this heat, it's been hitting the low 100's here also. our departure date is May 29th. At least staying busy will make the time pass faster. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteTime just doesn't move for me before a trip. I have been known to be ready a few days early, but held up because of a committment. It's agony. Pretty soon, though, you'll be off and down the road to new and wonderful sights. I'm anxious to hear about them. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get going before you're completely baked. Hope the wheels on the fiver don't have too many flat spots from all that sitting in one place. ;c)
ReplyDeleteI cannot watch racing. It makes me too nervous. I am always expecting someone to crash. Too much for me.
ReplyDeleteWhen it is that hot, everything is more stressing-slow is the only way to go!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for me to imagine still being there this late in the season. Stay hydrated, please.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy in the heat. At least you can take your time getting ready to go.
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe you are still down there in the heat. I bet you are looking forward to get out of dodge.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the longer we stay put in a park, the harder it is get on the road. I am glad we left Tucson before it got up in the 100s like it will be this week.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the Dr appt and you guys can leave the heat for cooler weather.
We've spent several summers in Arizona. No More!! Get out of there. It just can't be fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope that by waiting a while your trip will be a bit smoother than mine north.
ReplyDeleteVenison? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping everything goes well with Jim's appointment. I think it's past time to pack up and get the heck out of there. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Dr.'s appointment and you get the o.k. to head home soon.
ReplyDeleteHope your medicals go well and you could get on the road.
ReplyDeleteAll the best and thank you for your comments.

I am trying to polish then wax the motorhome. What a job. Can't wait till I have to do the roof. John is on antibiotic for the first time since his hospital stay. Coughing bad stuff. Hope we caught it in time.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well for Jim and that you're soon on your way. Get outta Arizona while the gettin's good!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are ready to head north and get out of that heat.
