We spent more time looking around the Phoenix area and have a difference of opinion. Barb likes Sun City Grand and I’m going with Pebble Creek in Goodyear. Went through about two dozen model homes, which means we saw a lot that were nicely decorated with extensive upgrades.
The last day in Phoenix area we took a drive up to Carefree for a little window shopping and lunch near Ho Hum and Easy Streets. That evening we had dinner with longtime friends.
Since the next day was my birthday, 70 to be exact, I refused the box of cereal at the motel and had a real breakfast. Really should do that more often. After a quick stop at Starbucks it was off to visit friends at Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort in Casa Grande. That night was a nice gathering to celebrate two birthdays with a BBQ and cake. Oh, and a little 18 year old Glenfiddich I had been saving for just this occasion.
I like Palm Creek. Happy Hour begins at four. Nuff said about that. This is the land of Snow Birds. They migrate here in huge numbers from places like Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Colorado and other places where a daytime temperature of 30 degrees is the norm. Some arrive in motor homes costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some are more modest. But they all have fun in the sun. This is our second year here and if our friends are here next year we will be back.
Yesterday it was church in the morning and then a drive up to Globe, Arizona for what has to be one of the largest swap meets ever. In the evening it was These Three Tenors, one of the many excellent shows brought in by Palm Creek. Not sure what the next few days will bring. Today is Monday and we will be heading out to San Diego on Thursday. See you later.
