This time we made it to Jerome. At eight o’clock it was a beautiful, very cool 47-degree Sunday morning. With two days before Christmas, the dogs and I were visiting our last 2018 historical Arizona community. Our first attempt proved a disaster of my making. It happened on the first of December. Long story short, …

Mad dogs (not really)
I’ve grown up with that American Food tradition… Hamburger, Fries, and Coke. Most of the time I shared some fries with Bernie and Chris. For over 40 years, as I recall, the fries were tasty and crunchy. However, these days I find them less tasty and limp. The dogs liked them fine. It started that …
‘Tis the Tar Season
Each year about this time, every street and other surface where vehicles drive or park… get a fresh coat of tar. It’s a big job because a small crew manually did it. Here’s bird's-eye view of what they faced: My closed community contained about 15 narrow streets and a couple of open parking areas. In …
Sunday (update from Saturday ‘experience’)
On Saturday, I locked myself out of my car. Blog entry “A funny thing happened on the way to Jerome, AZ” provided details. I went to Home Depot, and now I have a spare key that I placed in a magnetic box attached to the trailer hitch. I won’t be locked out of the car …
A funny thing happened on the way to Jerome, AZ

A few days before Thanksgiving, before the weather turned quite cold and dawn lost its normal dramatic color, I saw Chris herd Bernie. So surprised I didn’t think to take a photo. It happened this way. Twice each day my dogs liked to explore the desert. Our current spot provided many opportunities. There existed hundreds …
Down the rabbit hole
She entered. “I’m so happy Labor Day is coming. Now I don’t have to wear white anymore. I look good in black.” What’s that all about? I’m not fashion conscious. Always naïve, for twenty years the Navy’s dress code took care of my fashion statements. Almost as soon as she was seated, the writer critique …
What’s This?
It’s about my latest adventure, trekking with Bernie and Chris. Bernie is the Goldendoodle (GoldenRetriever/Poodle), and Chris is a Red Standard Poodle. That stagecoach in the background is as stated, “Very 1st RV to arrive in Arizona”. How did it all happen? It’s too long and varied and too …
They’re Back!
Damn! They're back. It’s the last of August, and the first of more than twenty-five hundred registered winter visitors arrive. From about the middle of September until the first of April we are invaded by folks seeking Arizona’s fun in the sun For about a hundred of Siesta RV Resort’s permanent residents, it again becomes …
Having fun
Recently, I saw an Amazon advertisement for a cell phone attachment that might allow me to increase capturing photos. Ordering the telescope, it arrived today. Within thirty minutes I was able to snap a few photos. I have a tiny garden as part of my miniature backyard. What the camera lens sees. The desired target …
