Mar 1 – 13 ... Tuesday the 2nds we planned to fly to Houston for the day to visit Ruthie at Garden Terrace. The plan was to go on the 830a flight out of Phoenix. Well, we stepped out of the motorhome at 615a to find out we had a flat tire! What to do now!!! We called AAA and they arrived a little before 7am and we were on our way by 725a. That didn’t leave enough time to catch the 830 flight but we made it on the 10am one. We managed to visit with Ruthie for over 3 hours and then headed back to the airport to catch the 9pm flight back. We made it back to the motorhome by midnight. A long day but we had a great visit.
While in Casa Grande we made a few trips into the Phoenix area. On Saturday we drove to Dixie’s cousin Hal, Sandra and Sofia’s. While there we went to a spring training baseball game between the Mariners & Padres. Tuesday the 9th we went to Mesa and had dinner with 3 of Dixie’s high school classmates (Duane, Diane, Darlene). Had a great time visiting with them. Thursday we drove to Chandler/Tempe area and looked at some used cars as we are contemplating getting a different one. We test drove a Saturn Vue as we think that is what we are looking for. It’s a great tow car and many RV’ers have them.
Dixie spent some of her time throughout our stay doing haircuts. We toured the Casa Grande Ruins one day. The other days were spent doing the usual. The weather is finally warming up! As I am writing this we are at Big O Tires again – we decided to have them rotate the front 2 tires. From here we head south to Huachuca City and the Quail Ridge campground where we will meet Doug and Fran for a week’s stay. Huachuca City is south east of Tucson near Tombstone.
