Easter Sunday

The time has come, the walrus said, to think of many things.......  For us this is essentially family and the journey home.
  What a nice hot day, I saw 89F/31C at one point on the car temp gauge.  It was hot anyway and not a cloud in the sky.
  We spent the day getting ready to move.  Marg on the inside, me on the outside.  It's interesting how all the stuff we bring fits into the available space.  I don't think very many things go back in the same location or position as the last time we travelled, but we got it all back in.  There are many tasks and all of them to be done before we leave the rv park.
  We went out for lunch to Mickey D's and used one of the remaining coupons in our book.  It was a good lunch.  Then we went to the big Mesa market and looked around.  Marg looked at a few things, well I guess I did too, but we came away empty handed.  I was starting to get interested in an Australian golf hat & Marg was looking at rug runners for inside the coach, but I guess we couldn't convince ourselves we needed either.
  For supper we went out to the Yogurt Kingdom where we had burgers and desert.  There was a big ham supper for Easter in the park, but we didn't sign up for it.  All of our friends here were after us to get our name down and then when we didn't they wanted us to just come anyway.  When it started out we thought we would be too busy to go.  Then when the day came, we just decided to spend some time alone for a quiet meal.
  After we got back we went to Larry & Nancy's for happy hour.  Said our good byes there.  Then went over to Kenny & Doris's for pie with another group.  Said our good byes there.  Then we went over to Ron & Sue's to say good bye.  There were other people wandering around saying good bye all day.  We are all old enough that it isn't an emotional day, well not for the guys anyway, but we had a lot of laughs, a lot of fun this winter; so we are all a little melancholy.
  Time for the snowbirds to head north.
