It is March and I do not know where the time has gone. The weather is starting to get to the nice stage (around 80) and we are spending a lot of time out side. We had a cover put between our two storage sheds so that is now going to be our patio. This area will get screening on the south and north sides. That seems to be the direction most of our wind comes from. The life of a full time RV'er is spent a lot out of doors. Here in Arizona we get a lot of that nice weather. My friend gives us a bad time because we live in 34'X8' of space, which is almost 320 sq foot. You may say that is pretty small but we find it quite large. She says we are like a turtle. We pull our wheels in and rest for awhile then lower the wheels and go again. In a way that is a very good description of the life we live and WHAT FUN IT IS. In reality you really only need a good bed and 2 good chairs. Of course we have much more than that if you have ever looked in an RV. They are like living in a very small apartment.Plenty of room for visiting company just not stay overs.
You might ask what we do that we spend so much time out of doors and the answer is I am not sure. Some of us are rock hounds, and some roam the desert looking at the cactus and looking at the beauty that surrounds us. I only know that the day sure goes fast. There are Jam sessions (music), dancing, quilt making ,jewelry classes and lots of good old fashioned flea marketing. Quartzsite is know as the place WHERE EVERY DAY IS A WEEKEND.
Before the annual trek to Washington where our son lives we make the usual rounds of Yuma, Casa Grande and Benson, Arizona catching one last visit to the friends who head to there summer homes. That could be anywhere USA.
There was a time when our world was made up of friends that have come from NY, WY, LA,WA,OR,MT,CA,FL,CT, AZ,MI and what a great time we all had while camping out in mother natures beauty using only our solor power for electricity. Once in a while we have to revert to using generators because of several cloudy days in a row. We all had our rolling homes we call RV'S. This includes motorhomes, 5th wheels, and pull trailers. They are all self contained so most of us can enjoy 7 to 10 days without looking for a water hook-up and dump station. The evenings were around campfires with many good stories told by all. The weather turns to the 90's and most of our friends go to our summer place and hope we can return in the fall for more fun. This is know as the migration of the SNOWBIRDS. (RV'er all) We have enjoyed most of 20 years doing all of the above. I am sure we have had the very best of the years. We now are looking back at enjoying 27 years of the best time of our lives. Some might call us RECYCLED TEENAGERS and they would be right. That seems to be a time in our lives that really was what we now look on as being the best.
Till later enjoy every day as the first day of the rest of you life.
