Memories The photo was taken before the 70-mph rain and wind storm smashed through Sunflower RV Resort on July 29, 2017. The photo was taken around 11 in the morning. The storm rolled through about 5 in the afternoon. There was extensive damage to more than a dozen park model awnings and carports. Lots of …
Month: July 2017
Through my blurry left eye
Through my blurry left eye… It’s exactly four in the afternoon of July 28, 2017. I emphasize exactly for a reason. For the first time in three days, I am able to make out images… just barely. Here’s the story. It is a continuation of my initial trip to Camp Verde area a little …
Casita title minor bump
Casita title minor bump Life is filled with character building opportunities. I am definitely a work in progress. Katie managed to register the Casita in Texas as a Freedom Deluxe model. She delivered me a Liberty Deluxe model. The VIN number states it is a Liberty. My original trip to Arizona Vehicle Registration, I took …
More surprises… what’s next?
More surprises… what’s next? July 23, 2017, turned out to be more Casita surprises. John came over about 11 and just left at 3:30 this afternoon. Unlike last week when the triple digits drove Katie and I inside the house, John and I sweated through analyzing the Casita from top to bottom and inside. It …
Just wondering…
Just wondering… My last RV we named Tumbleweed. Other than that, we never named other RVs we owned. July 25 will be the fifth year since Cricket died. That began my new life when I trained Bernie and Chris as Therapy Dogs. They have been my therapy as well. I am tempted to name this …
My Casita week in review
My Casita week in review It’s finally Friday. Katie delivered the Casita on July 15. The temperature was in triple digits, and it stayed there. Unfortunately, it was also humid, in the 50 percent range the entire time. All outside tasks were mercifully cut short, or we gave up. It took us three days to …
My dogs are #1
My dogs are #1 The focus of my soon to be published eBook (Challenges and Rewards; A physical and mental journey training my therapy dogs) was the deal-breaker why I selected the Casita Freedom. According to my intense analysis, I could modify the Freedom layout configuration so Bernie would have enough room without me constantly …
My 53 item list
My 53-item list August traditionally brings high humidity to Surprise. I’ve lived here for more than seven years. I am thoroughly acclimated to having 20 percent low humidity. A triple digit of summer’s high temperatures is tolerated. However, at two in the morning of July 19, 2017, the humidity is 53.82 percent. It’s going …
When my desire to be positive turns sour
When my desire to be positive turns sour I like to blame my situation on it. It has to be an object... never a person. It also has to be so ridiculously impossible people knows I am joking. Yesterday was supposed to be a very good day. Mother Nature tried to shape it with fantastic …
Gotcha!
Gotcha! It is 3 a.m. on July 17, 2017, and I have yet to enter my Casita. No, it isn’t occupied by skunks or other critters. There are more powerful forces at play. After the very challenging Saturday, where Katie ended up sleeping in the van, we thought we would solve the problem Sunday. We …
