Apache Junction, AZ High 76 Low 51 Finally Fall has arrived
I know it's been forever since I last posted a blog and I really have no excuse other than I've been living with day to day stuff and I don't find that interesting enough in my world to blog about.
I do have some beautiful sky pictures I like to include and some Elias pictures, of course.
Arizona Skies
Most of our snowbirds are back in the park and it's nice to hear the sounds of people visiting and seeing them at donuts on Tuesday mornings.
Now for my big news. Meet Snazzy Jazzy
Yes, I bought a new car. Well new to me anyhow. Daisy served me well but she is getting tired of trying to make the trip to Montana. For use around town, she is a perfect car. I hope to get her listed for sale shortly and I hope to find someone who will love her as much as I do.
Jazzy is a 2023 Toyota Camry. Paul went car shopping with me and gave me advise when I asked for it. I know Jim is not happy with me buying a Toyota because he worked for GM/Chevy/Pontiac all his working career. I did look at a Malibu but it had several things that I did not like and it wasn't as comfortable.
Going from Daisy to Jazzy is a real challenge for me. Paul suggested we take a ride up to Payson to see how she handles on the climb and to get me used to a car that wants to take over driving for me. This is going to be a real learning curve for me.
We did make it to Payson and had lunch at Rim Country BBQ. Really good. As you can see in this picture, Paul is reading the owner's manual and trying to explain it to me. Thanks for trying Paul.
In other news, I got to meet up with Jeri for lunch. We met Jeri and Terry in Florida in 2009. We had lots of great times together through the years and they are still RVing. Catching up with good friends is definitely a highlight in life.
Time for Elias overload.
Lunch with Dad
It's hard to believe it is almost Thanksgiving. Time is just flying faster and faster. Hope all is well in your world. Be sure to tell your friends and family how much you love and treasure them.
I recognize where you and Jeri are having lunch. We miss you.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Halloween pictures! And you can't beat those sunsets. I get the new car thing (congrats) ... same with my new van. So much fancy dancy stuff to figure out!
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie. Congrats on the car. My main criteria for a vehicle is reliability and Toyota is the top of the heap in that regard so hope it serves you very well.
ReplyDeleteElias is so adorable--and growing! Glad you got a new car! And we totally understand about "car drives itself!"--we bought a new to us 2019 Lexus this past summer and we still have a lot to learn. My family in Arkansas has driven the socks off Camry's--my sister is currently driving one that has 280,000 miles on it!
