We just got home from The Arizona Opry and did we both have a good surpise as I thought it was going to be mostly a country show, it was so much more, not only did I get my country but we both got the old rock & roll along with some big band also, all we had been told is don't miss going to this show, am so very glad we went as it was a fantistic day, the show was great it is called the Barleens Az Opry dinner theatre, we went to after-noon show, this show was started more then 30 years ago by the Barleen family and over the years the older ones have retired and the twins sisters have continue along with family members and other very talened people, Barbara is married to George Staerkel who was with the Tokens many years ago, they were know for the Lion Sleeps Tonight (which he did) he plays about any horn instrument that you can name and he played most in the show also he can still hit those high notes, he also plays the key board, needless to say we did have a good day.
The weather is also back to the high 70's so that makes it nice, don't have to keep the door & windows closed, very good to get the breeze abd fresh air to flow thru.

Has been cold here again most mornings its been 35 to 38 degrees, good thing is it does get nice and warm durning the day, kind of like Fl, but no bugs I still like that!
Have been staying busy what with doing our workamping and running around or just taking it easy on ours free days, we still like to go to the flee markets and thriff stores, went to a chruch sale last Friday and came a way with a couple of good treasures, got a mirror (still in orginal box) for a whole $1.00 and a nice throw rug for .25 cents, don't you just love it!!! My brother-in-law Ron keeps telling Linda that we are going to be over loaded and filled up with things, I don't think so! I still want to be able to move, all thro I have to keep my eye on Jerry, he is still worse then I am when it comes to buying.
Jerry got to go to the Barrett & Jackson car auction, he had always said that was something he wanted to do if we were near and we were as it was in Scottdale, about 40 minutes from from where we are, needless to say he had a really enjoyable day.
Last month we went on a bus trip to a casino in Payson about 1 1/2 hours from here a fun day was had by all and even better it was a lucky day for Jerry hit a good jack pot on the penny machine, so he came back a winner plus he was able to still play the rest of the time we were there, was not my day but look out next time, as we will car trip there again so we can go into town also and look around the area, it is also a very pretty ride, nice to go on the bus trips as that gives Jerry a chance to sight see and he can relax while someone else does the driving
Went to a car show Sat. and did that bring back some good menories, there was a 37 Ford, like the first one Jerry restored and also a 39 another like he did, no 30 Ford, plus so many more, some we had never seen before, a lot of walking but that is good as we both need it! That night went to an Western show and supper, they serve everything on tin plates & cups, said just like they did back when thye were riding the trails, also took a horse & wagon ride, all was a good time.
There was snow all around us last week and out our front window is the Superstition Mt's and they were covered, so pretty to look at I posted a photo and that is snow right under the clouds.
Will go to a good old country music show this Sat and I am looking forward to that, Jerry not so much as county is not his 1st choice, we both like the 50's & 60's the he goes for big band, country is way down on his list, but I will be tapping my feet, and I have caught him a time or two where he is enjoying it also, so am sure he will have just as much fun as I will! There is a comedy show coming up at the end of the month at the club house here at the park and we will go to that, they have been here before and we are told that they are really good,so we signed up.
I know some of you didn't know that in Dec. we changed RV parks and we are really glad we did as we were in the country before which we like and the park was nice and pretty, just we were sooooooooooooo far away from everything, to go to the food store it was a 44 mile round trip. Here we are 5 minutes from most everything, I can even walk to the closest shopping center and I have done that. A few more benifits here also. It is a nice park and roads are black top so easier to walk around the park. Was a good choice! I do miss the people we had made friends with, but we can keep in touch. E-Mail is a good thing.
Will write about how good the country show is next time and also will try not to take to long between post.
