On The Road Again .....

 One should check for sunrise before planning on leaving at a certain time in the morning.  It was pitch black at my designated time.  On the road again was delayed until I could see well enough to back up.  I finally got everything hooked up with no problems.  

When done, I headed over to say goodbye to Patsy, Bill and Gibbs.   I'm going to miss them!!  Patsy is a blast to hang out with ... I have her to thank for getting me back in shape ... and Bill can answer any and all fifth wheel questions.  Hopefully I didn't bother him as much THIS time as I have in the past!!!!

Off I went, both kids in tow.  Lucky for me, there wasn't a lot of truck traffic.  The sun was just coming up as I left Quartzsite.  Check out Patsy's pics HERE.  She got a great one of Gibbs watching me leave.

Not many pictures today.  It's just not safe to take them while I'm driving.  We just cruised right along at 60 mph, trying to miss the big holes in the road.  There's that one rest stop at the top of the hill ... I stayed in the left lane it was so bad.  

Even coming into Tucson wasn't terrible in spite of their construction.  I landed at the fairgrounds where there was practically no one.  Funny they kept telling me I MIGHT get a spot to park when I got here.  Gee ... the place is empty!  And WARM!!  Who knew??  It's a lovely 80 degrees.

I found this on the internet.  That's me getting those balls out from under the chairs.  That's Cooper saying ... THAT ONE Mom ... I need THAT ONE!!  It definitely hits the nail on the head

I skipped lunch, had a quick snack and headed off to the Chance house for dinner.  I was pretty tired, but there's no way I'll miss stir fry.  It was so good I didn't even take a picture.  This is Miss Snoopy, named because she snoops in every closet, drawer and cupboard she can open.  No, you CANNOT take my picture.

Oh all right ... just one!!!

Soon I was headed back to the rig to a very happy Mr. Cooper, and rewarded with this nice sunset.

So here we are, being serenaded by some guy's truck boom box two spaces over while he gets ready to leave at 5:00 this morning.  It's going to get better.  There is a Gem and Jam Music Festival going on here this week, along with a few horse jumping events.  That's right up my alley!

AND ..... it smells just like home ... there was a horse trailer parked exactly where I am located.  Be sure and wipe your feet before entering!!
