"Here comes the sun....."

Yes, our sun came back to Arizona today in a big way. It was beautiful. Not all that warm, maybe around 17 or 18 degrees today, but none the less, a great day.
We were waiting this morning for a Company called USA Shades, to come into the park and replace the slide out toppers on both our slide outs. As mentioned yesterday in the blog, they have simply worn out in the sun and weather, and had started to rip. The guy said he would be here between 9 and 12, however, at 12:30 he didn't make it so I called his cell. He apologized and indicated he would be here within an hour. He did show up and got to work right away to replace the two toppers. It took him about 1 hour, maybe a bit longer, but he did a terrific job. We were glad to get these replaced, as they help prevent water from seeping into the RV through the top of the slide outs. They should now be good for quite a few years. The material he used is better quality than the original stuff, so here is hoping!
Judy was on camera today and took this pic of the rear slide out in the bedroom. You can see the new topper above the slide.


This is our living room slide, and you can see the new topper on it as well.... we are now all set.

After the guy was finished we enjoyed reading outside in the sun, and before you know it, it was 4:00 and time for happy hour and the hot tub! I had to get back to the RV in time for the Leaf game of course which starts at 5:00 down here. Ya, they lost again, it was pretty sad... :-((
Judy could not stand the excitement of the game, so she went on a bicycle tour out in the desert. She wanted to see if stuff was growing in the desert after the big rain. She took a couple pictures and by the looks of things, not much was growing....

That is part of the Gila Mountain range in the background on this one....

She was down at the irrigation canal just north of our park, and it looks quite full to me after the rain...

She decided to go into another park close to ours, to check it out for us to possibly stay there next year. This is the pool area, and she thought it was pretty good. We may take a closer look later.

Another shot of "Desert Trails RV Park"...

and another shot, from the back road by the looks of it...

Thanks for taking pictures today Judy, as I did not even take one! You would think I was on holidays!

We had a 1/2 hour skype with Kristina and Chris, and all looks to be going well with the new dog. It is obvious they have paid attention to the teachings of Caesar Millan, aka Dog Whisperer. They are the PACK LEADERS! Good work guys... Caesar would be proud of you!

That is about it for today, not too exciting....

till tomorrow...
