About That Tucson Living (October 16 - 22)

Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you for your wonderful comments about the blog! I really do appreciate your encouragement, even when the week is uneventful. Actually I am coming to appreciate those uneventful weeks, when life in the Tour runs smoothly. This week has had some challenges.

As mentioned before, Roger is really retiring!  Monday and Tuesday were filled with just a few appointments while Wednesday and Thursday were full days for him. In addition to those appointments, we had to take the Tour in for some maintenance work; hence, the challenges mentioned in the previous paragraph.

 We are truly at the mercy of the specialists who work on the RV. As I have mentioned before it is not like taking your car in for a quick fix. That coupled with the fact that the Tour is our home, makes us entirely "homeless" while it is in the shop. Michael let Bear and me use his home on one of the days which made it so nice for us. What a great son!  With several parts ordered, we know there will be some more maintenance work done in the next two weeks. These projects range from a new pump used in our sleep number bed to a new electrical cord to power the interior of the coach ( did I mention that the temps are in the upper 90's in Tucson) to a new rear camera that is a must for checking on our towed Terrain. This is the downside of full time RVing, but the life we are living outweighs the inconveniences.

Roger and I had a great forty mile bike ride on Sunday morning, as well as three others through out the week.

One of the many enjoyable parts about RVing is meeting friends in new places. This week Pam and Butch arrived at Davis Monthan. They are veteran RVers and have helped us so much. Between happy hours and dinner, we have had fun catching up.

This is a very short blog for the week. We have another ten days in the area and then are off to Texas!
Thank you for checking in with us on our adventures in the Tour.
