This week has been slow for activities, in fact, I am not really sure we've done anything exciting.... well, we had a tax appointment to figure out what to do when you are on the road traveling around (nomadic is not a checkbox on a tax form 😉) and yes, you do still have to file taxes. So we are asking questions and getting the paperwork together.
Then on Wed. I had a hair cut appointment, trying to reshape my short hair cut as it continues to grow. I am trying to figure out a little more length but something that is easy to care for too.
Friday was a quick trip to Prescott to do some shopping for basic supplies.
Sunday we headed into Surprise and visited an orange grove and went to a Walmart for forgotten items and then to the thrift stores -- still on a look out for induction cookware and grilling pans.
Oh and I am taking a Ladies Pistol class on Tuesdays through February. It is for ladies only and we are learning basic skills and safety mostly -- but practice shooting too. It is at the gun club in Wickenburg. We have had 2 classes and the 2nd class was on the torrential rain day so we were in the classroom cleaning our pistols and learning about concealed carry and ways to keep safe. Arizona has open carry so you see folks carry pistols from time to time.
But I do have one pic to share -- I have had my FitBit tracker for 2 years now and at the end of the year the FitBit stats are emailed to me for the entire year --- it is quite amazing to see what you have accomplished over the year for fitness and activity.
Darrel keeps learning about gold detecting and we hope to get out in the desert with the metal detector again soon. He watches YouTube videos from the masters to pick up their tips of the trade. He keeps busy with wood carving and rearranges the storage inside and out of the RV so that keeps me busy trying to find stuff he has moved!
The temps are much better for us, the news tonight said that February was expected to be drier and warmer that normal but I don't put much stock in the weather stats... one lady in the Pistol class said the Farmer's Almanack says cooler and rainier temps so there you go, we'll see when the days get here.
Guess I don't know much more news or items to share, we are both doing great, staying healthy and trying to get more walks into our days! I still manage to get pickleball playing in several times a week and really enjoy the extra exercise while having fun!
We think of you all and try to keep in touch with phone calls and/or these blog posts. Call us anytime remembering the mountain time zone time difference 😀 - we tend to sleep in so calling before 9AM MT, will get our answer message!
Happy Trails,
Susan & Darrel
