Dream Catcher RV Park in Deming, NM

Since our mail came yesterday, we left the Western Horizon Park in St. David this morning. We really enjoyed our week there. Willard golfed and fished. Jean enjoyed the hot tub almost daily and went to lunch with the Red Hat Ladies. She met a delightful 80+ year-old redhatter named Boots. She always wears boots. Seems she has about 13 pair. Late each afternoon we sat outside and played music, Willard on the guitar and Jean on the picking stick. One day we visited Bisbee where we toured a copper mine, strolled through the museum, and ate a wonderful meal at the Bisbee Grille. On another day we had the Tacoma oil changed.

At the hot tub in the Western Horizon Park we met Suzie. Then at the Steak Dinner we met her husband, Randy. They are a lovely couple. They entertain in Western Horizon Parks with a "Your Hit Parade" program and Randy presents workshops on Cell Phones. We hope we meet them again on the road.

This is our second time to stay at the Dream Catcher RV Park. It is really filling up, for many Snow Birds are traveling at this time of year. Some are going back home and the fulltimers are just moving on.

This is the time of year for allergies and we are being affected. The "cotton" is flying from the Cottonwood trees. In fact, at the St. David park they had to close the pool one day because the wind was blowing so hard the pool was blanketed with "cotton" and the catepillers that make webs in the trees. They were stopping up the filters. And who would want to soak in catepiller water? Not me! The "cotton" is actually the traveling seeds from the trees. The catepillers feed on the Cottonwood leaves and through metamorphis turn into butterflies or moths. I'm not sure which.
