October Summary

 Apache Junction, AZ   High 88  Low 58 - perfect

When we arrived back in the Valley in September we had several days of rain. Even though they received lots of rain this summer, even more was welcome since the drought is so bad. We had some beautiful clouds and you all know how much I love sky pictures.


 

Can you see the airplane in this picture? Just right of the bright sun.




We went to the races one night with Ginny and Mickey. We have a race track just south of us a few miles but they are shutting it down so that a housing development can be built. Just what we need, more houses and people to go along with no water in our reservoirs. The building going on around here in Apache Junction is incredible. 

We had a great time watching the cars go around and around. But their speakers weren't working (and I'm sure they don't want to spend any money on them) and there was a lot of waiting around for something. But since we couldn't hear anything we didn't know what was happening. 

We had a beautiful view of the sun setting.


 


Paul has arrived and will be spending his first winter in his new house down by Florence. Jim and I drove down to see the house and have dinner. It's beautiful and I'm sure he will be really happy.

We've had several repairs made on the Cottage (awning, water leak, toilet valve, etc.). But it really feels good to be back enjoying the absolutely amazing weather and watching our park fill up with friends who went north for the summer. Now we're waiting for our Canadian neighbors to get here. They plan on being in line at the border on November 8, to come down.

I love this picture of Todd. Feel like it's been forever since we've seen him and Michaela, but it's only been a couple of months.


 And this is exactly how I feel. (not sure who to give credit to but I love it.)
