weaverworks Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 By the way, it's already getting HOT here in the Phoenix area. In the mid 90's today and that sun is getting intense. We've had one of the best winter weather experiences here in AZ and S. CA and are sure glad we came west this year.

Wanderin Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Aren't you the same Jeri that keeps telling Marsha and I to slow down? Ha ha! We are still in Mesa/Phoenix but will begin heading eastward on Tuesday. We are heading up over the mountains, through Payson to stop at the Very Large Array in New Mexico. We will then meander slowly across Texas (that state is tooooo big) to Houston. You remember the saying, "Don't do as I do. Do as I say." I doubt we'll be here when you come through. Wish we could sit and chat a bit. Maybe we'll meet you on the road!

We've had one of the best winter weather experiences here in AZ and S. CA and are sure glad we came west this year. Definitely getting warm but at least the nights still cool off. Perfect weather for your climb up the mountain. I'll be looking forward to your post on the VLA. Safe travels everybody. We won't be leaving for another couple of months.

sandsys Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Tomorrow is a travel day for me. By airplane. Boo. At least Minnesota is having Spring this year so it won't be such a shock to my system to go back there from North Carolina. Wonder how many of my bags will make it past the layover in Atlanta?

sandsys Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Two of my three checked bags made it past the layover. I guess that must happen a lot because Delta has a system here for delivering lost bags. That third one was delivered right to our apartment today. Now, if someone would just come unpack them for me. I sure do miss traveling by RV.

I made a reservation to go back next winter Jan 3-Apr 3. Now if their kitchen staff would just come up here and do all the meal planning, cooking, and cleaning up in the meantime it would be easier to stick with the plan. I'd move there full time if I could get Dave to go too. I miss him too much to be able to stay away more than three months, though. I learned that my first snowbird winter when I was ready to go home long before the weather wouldn't freeze my pipes.

etrippe1 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 We made it back to our summer workamp job here at Illinois Beach State Park. We left CA. 6 weeks after surgery on my left shoulder (torn rotator cuff). Still in recovery but able to drive. We drove shorter amounts in a day and we did have a blow out on the front right tire. Other than that, all is ok. I see a surgeon here on Thurs. to set the date for my right shoulder. Boy will I be glad when this is over. Being w/ the g-kids and not able to pick them up is hard and they don't understand why my arm is in a sling. Stay safe everybody and have a great summer.

Sandie & Jim Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Eric - glad to know you are safely back up north. So will you be able to use your left arm again before you take the right one out of action? We had planned on leaving next Monday and our plans are now on hold. Jim's heart doctor found he has a blockage in his femoral artery in his right leg. Will probably need to have a by-pass done (he had one done on the left leg in 2012) and recovery will be 6 to 8 weeks. I'm hoping they will release him to drive sooner than that but who knows. We don't have anything definite set up yet but I'm not doing any trip planning for now. The good news is that his cancer scan turned out great. No problems and we don't go back until November.

weaverworks Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Eric...glad to hear you are half-way on the road to recovery. I still think of you carrying that bird bath all the way from Mexico.....jeesh! You must be a heck of a work camper if they want you at 50% capacity...ha! ha! Sandy...... glad to hear the cancer scan turned out well but sorry to hear about the clot. Sweat it out in AJ for a few weeks and Jim will be ready to Go!

Have your ears been burning because we've been talking about you both with the Hyders! However, you know it's all been good stuff because we miss you both!.nThanks for the post,we miss yall too. When we got to the campground in May Delcie worked two days and then spent seven days in the hosp. with pneumonia. This alt. is hard on her but we are still here with her on oxegen when she is in the trailer. Heidi is not well, she will not eat and when we took her to the Vet he said she has a enlarged liver and maybe a tumer on her spleen. We are afraid we will have to put her to sleep. Other than that it has been a good summer.

Sandie & Jim Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 So good to get an update from you guys. But sorry to hear about Delcie's breathing issues. Jim can't handle the higher altitudes either since his lung surgery. So far he doesn't need oxygen but that could easily change in the future. Even though it's so very very hard you will know when it is time to say goodbye to Heidi and wish her a wonderful journey over the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs to both of you.

We lost some of our plants around here when we were gone. It was hot and with no water, they didn't make it. Also, sorry to hear about Heidi. It is hard to lose our pets. We get mighty close to them over the years. Keep us posted and take care of yourselves.
