Onward to Apache Junction, AZ

For now we are in a reciprical park with Thousand Trail called Countryside RV here in Apache Junction. It is a very nice park with many full time folks and a lot of us still roaming about... Had to get her by 3rd so we could lend our car to son Roy while his is being shipped from Hawaii. Had a nice short visit with him while we dined at Claim Jumper. Next day, thanks to brother John we picked Reisa and baby Jaylee up from airport and took them to Camp Verde (1/2 way point) to meet with her mom. She is borrowing a vehicle from her folks too while theirs is being shipped.... Another day, dear friend Mary Lou came by for a nice visit and took us to lunch. Always wonderful to see Mary Lou when we are in the area. She has a very nice home in Goodyear. Met up with another good friend Dave from CT. He is here in the park too for now. We all took a ride out to Tortilla Flats for lunch. They are reputed to have the juiciest Hamburgers anywhere but I would not agree. Enjoyed the ride very much. Although this is desert, it has a beauty all it's own and the colors and uniqueness of the senorian desert is lovely.

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

Hingham, MA

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
