Verde Valley TTN, Cottonwood, AZ


It is a lovely day in AZ and has been a winner so far today! Started early with stop at Camping World for new shocks on RV then on to Cottonwood from Apache Junction. Countryside RV was a wonderful park with so many friendly people and fun activities it's hard to beat... Then we made out of Camping world early and were set up just in time to make the weekly cribbage game tournament! This week I came in 2nd place which is HUGE for me! I am so happy. They are doing it a little different this year by collecting $1.25 from each player and dividing up the kitty to the top three winners. Came in 2nd place but 3 points! A lot of fun with some very wonderful folks. So nice to see some of the same people from last year. Feels just like being home.

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

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.

Front porch

The new wall has received it's 1st coat!  It really looks so different... It's hard to want to put too much yard furniture out when we will be leaving for a time so hesitant to get that all set up at this time.  Thinking and looking though and for now think we will make do with what we have...   It is really wonderful having the palm tree for some shade.  In time we will put a roof on and perhaps a shade we can use during the time the sun is setting in the west and hitting the porch the time we like sitting out best - early evening... we'll see.  One thing at a time.
