Tucson, AZ
April 8, 2015
The past week has been a week of bad news and good news. Bad news...we were homeless Thursday, Friday and Monday. Belle had a visit to the spa...Jeff Fischer's RV Maintenance and Repair. Days were spent under an olive tree on our site that provided lots of shade in the pen with the Tan Clan...the tree was full of blossoms so we ended each day with stuffy noses and itchy eyes even though we added allergy meds to the morning regiment of vitamins. Good news, we were able to pick Belle up at the end of each day so we didn't have to pitch a tent.
Belle looks great...you would never know she had a boo-boo!

| Sanded and ready... |
That's Jeff on top...
Pete did the body work...
and Joe, a happy and satisfied customer.
Home Sweet Home...

| Maintenance done...ready to go! |
How nice to have them block the suns bright light and warmth at mid-day. Blinds can stay raised so Dover and I can enjoy one of our favorite past-times...gazing out the window.
Bad news...
Really good news, I do believe we will be pulling out of Tucson a week early...northward bound!
It really is unfortunate that our generation grew up without sunscreen! We never leave home without it anymore.
While under the olive tree...
one of us was quite restless
until he decided to roll play the story "The Prince(cess) and the Pea"
 |
| Yep, that's four cushions! |
 |
| But in the end, a lap is always better! |
Two of us played "Who can eat the stick the fastest?"
while one of us was a diligent watchdog.
At the end of the three days, we were all thankful for blue skies, fluffy clouds and a nice Arizona breeze.
Ahhh...California dreaming...dinner (Feb.'15) at the Bledsoe's beautiful home on wheels.
Dungeness Crab cooked to perfection with all the fixings!
Until next time, take care, enjoy...

...and happy trails!
Gay, so glad Joe is doing okay, and that Belle has been given a facelift and that the Tan Gang still dominates the news and the heart! Love the pics of them! Wishing you safe travels!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila...
DeleteLove the sunset and loved the crab. My MIL just went through MOHs too for the same thing. It was pretty hard on her. She had 5 surgeries in one day -- a little bit and then a little bit more and so on. She's doing better and I'm sure Joe will soon look as good as new.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeri...it's been a hard year for Joe! Things are finally looking up. His oncologist wants him back in Tucson in July for a PET...our next hurdle. It's going to be hotter than hades! Joe also had to have 5 cuttings to get a clear margin...ouch!
DeleteThat great that Joe is going to be fine.
ReplyDeleteNice that Belle is all spruced up and you are ready to go.
We are very happy with all the work, especially the paint and body work...it's good to hear from you George. Hope all is going good there!
DeleteThe older I get the more parts they cut out! Glad your doing better (Joe & Belle) and getting ready to roll. We're in Moab until the 18th if you want to come join us. Gay, love the pics of the pups. (Julie)
ReplyDeleteWe would love to be there, but don't have reservations till May. We will be in Sedona if you are traveling south when you leave Moab.
DeleteBelle looks beautiful after a few days at the spa:) Aren't the window awnings a wonderful thing. We were thrilled when we finally had awnings put on. It sure gives you some privacy.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do wish we had know more about sunscreen back in our day. But it is good that most of us keep with those dermatologist visits. That's a lot of stitches but necessary.
How exciting that you are about to hit the road again:) Enjoy Sedona!!
We LOVE the window awnings Pam!
DeleteWe both made our next appointment to see the dermatologist when we return in July...Joe has to go every 3 months.
I had never heard of Moh's surgery until recently and now I know of several people who have had it. Fingers crossed this is Joe's last one!
ReplyDelete30 stitches,..ouch but that is for a good thing. Wishing Joe the best. Even Belle is getting ready for her adventure up north with a new Do and some sprucing up.
ReplyDeleteThe awnings do make a whole lot of difference until some strong winds come for a visit.
Wow, the two of you have really had quite a week. Belle looks fantastic, just like new but Joe, not so much. Ouch! 30 stitches in such a tender area. Hope it's smooth sailing for all from this point on.
