Wednesday, March 10,we found this campground near Phoenix, Desert Edge RV park, after we left the Walmart in Surprise. What a find! Mandy would love it because all the fences and buildings are purple. The neatest part is there are orange and grapefruit trees throughout the campground and are free to pick. We picked a small bag and came back to the moho to try them out. Deeeelicious! Real fresh fruit.
We were planning to only stay one night, but a couple things made us stay another night, today, Thursday, March 11. First we wanted to see Mike Meyers, a friend from back home in Nazareth during our scouting years. He was our first Eagle Scout in the troop we resurrected back in the 70's. We had a great visit and spent the night reminiscing about old times. He's turned out to be a fine young man, partly because of his scouting background. We are proud to know him and call him friend.
The second reason is it is soooo nice here and our neighbors are such wonderful folks from Alberta, Canada. Plus, I guess, we needed another day to catch up with our chores and for me to go in search of the gremlins (still no luck) and just kick back before we head to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico before finally making our way to San Antonio.
I started to work on getting pictures up on the blog, but didn't get too far yet....maybe tonight? So much to do, so little time.
QUIZ ALERT: GO (Grandkids Only) Name three kinds of cacti (cactuses) indigenous to Arizona.
Bye for now, It's supper time.

Where was all of the crowd at Elvis' house? Were y'all the only ones there? I am a little surprised that they allowed pictures inside the house.

Ana and Gini, you're too quick.Gotta make the quizzes harder. Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteFred, we got there at 9:00 am when it opened and there weren't many people there. Also, it was a Wednesday,morning. More did show up later, but not many that time of the week. Also, you are shuttled to the mansion across the street in small groups. I just waited till everyone had moved on to take pics. Flash is not allowed, but I still have a steady hand to take pics without it.
o.O my favorite color is purple to.... Ha.. and the Frace family seems to get a lot of the questions. I never have time to get on and answer them quick enough =( oh wells..
