The best part about the trip was that we got in, bought what we needed and left with change for $100. That is very hard to do in COSTCO and the clerk even congratulated me on the bill. How about that? We gassed up the car at $3.23 a gallon which is one of the lowest prices in the area, so technically we spent over $100.
Sharon and Al came over for dinner this evening and we all enjoyed Gerry's pork chops in mushroom sauce prepared in a slow cooker. The meal was great as usual and people wonder why I don't lose weight. Her cooking is the reason.
The weather has continued to be great with sunny and warm days, cool nights and no rain. All that may change next week with a long range forecast of rain. Something about cold weather in the Arctic and it pushing the El Nina back across the Pacific. Sounds interesting to me, but I don't have any idea how they know that.
The park has had more RVers in lately, but not as full as it was a couple years ago. It sounds like all the parks in the Tucson area are suffering from fewer snowbirds. Maybe the price of fuel and overall rise in camping costs have something to do with it. How is it in your area?
If we do get the rains next week then the desert flowers will bloom and that always is nice to see. The cactus flowers are very beautiful and a photographers joy to see. This is an example of what one can expect with enough rain to bring the flowers into bloom.
