Easter 2007

We had a nice day today. Slept late; went to church; went out for lunch; took a nap; went on a walk around the ponds; watched some TV. It was a relaxing Sunday.

Yesterday we went to Douglas, AZ and had delicious lunch in the beautiful Gadsden Hotel. It opened in 1907. This stately hotel contained a spacious two story lobby, soaring marble columns, and a Tiffany stained glass mural. They were preparing for a big wedding that afternoon.

We crossed the border, but the streets were empty. Seems Mexico residents take about 10 days off at Easter. There were only a few stores open. We didn't stay long. When we returned back to the RV park, Willard and I got our guitars out and practiced behind our rig. Our neighbor came over with his guitar and we had a regular jam session. It was so much fun. About 8:00 we went to the Hot Tub and met a nice young couple from Tuson. He was in the Army and had been in Iraq. He thinks it is a no win situation and that we need to be there only to train their armed forces. But, the people are afraid to join the Iraq army because so many are murdered if they do. I fear the future - Iraq, Iran, and illegals from Mexico. None of it looks good. Anyway, we thanked our new young army friend for serving our country.

Friday we went to Tucon and bought some items we needed for the motorhome at Camping World. We went to a casino nearby and were very disappointed. No 5 cent Keno machines. That's what Willard likes to play, one nickle at a time. He's a big gambler isn't he?

On Thursday we just layed around. Willard fished. I didn't do much of anything. It was nice. I did take Duster to be groomed. And that evening we went out to eat. Went to the Hot Tub and met two interesting couples, one from North Dakota and one from Florida (who were full timers). I love this lifestyle. You meet so many wonderful people and have so many experiences. We keep in touch with family and friends by phone and email. Life is great even though we are sometimes faced with challenges. As Willard says in a song he wrote, " ....the years were good, even when times were bad."
