ARIZONA

Here we sit in SUNNY, HOT Arizona. It does cool down at night; but sure warms up during the day. At present we are at Catalina State Park, just north of Tucson. I had never been here before; so another first for me. Dennis had 4 services and a banquet type speech on Sat and Sunday. There are still a lot of people we know and it was good to see them. The current pastor was one of the vicars when were here. After Dennis had a nap we drove to Litl Abners. A steak house that cooks the steak on a open grill with mesquite wood. Nothings has changed. The decor is the same and the steaks still good. Litl Abners was originally a stagecoach stop and it was WAY out in the country.
It was the first place someone took us to when we visited here YEARS ago. Now the developments have moved near them; but it hasn't changed a thing.
We left Idaho with the motor home Wed the 17. We had a good trip here. I even won 14.50 on a nickel machine in Mesquite NV. We spent one night in Mesa and picked up the Black Honda and on to Tucson. Al Coxen, a neighbor in Mesa, had the car already to go. We did have to put new tires on the motor home. UGH! but we must be safe.
On Tuesday we will return to Mesa where we step up and wait for everyone to start arriving for Steven and Amanda "wedding"
Guess this is it for now.
