Last Day in Tucson . . .

Brandi called yesterday to tell more about the video of Landon helping his daddy mow the grass. She said Lowell had gone out to mow the backyard, and she and Landon were watching from the patio. All of a sudden Brandi said Landon turned and ran back in the house.

Brandi said at first she thought he was scared of the noisy mower. But in just a second he reappeared from the house dragging his toy mower behind him.

He wasn’t scared. He just wanted to help daddy.

Hopefully we’ll be able to Skype from Las Cruces tomorrow afternoon. Our Internet signal has been too slow here in Tucson

The RV Park here at the Pima County Fairgrounds is closing tomorrow partly because they’re starting to get ready for the Pima County Fair that starts April 19th.

They’ve already started bringing in the Porta Johns, and lot of carny trailers are showing up.

And what’s a fair without a leafy green elephant,

or a giant ice cream cone.

Terry was feeling better this afternoon, and also probably suffering from a touch of cabin fever, so she was ready to get out of the rig.

So heading out about 1:30pm, our first stop was Harbor Freight Tools. I wanted a heat gun, and they had one on sale. I’m tired of trying to heat shrink tubing using Jan’s hair dryer, and this will fix the problem. Of course I also found a few other things I just had to have. I mean, it’s Harbor Freight Tools, right.

Our next stop was Wal-Mart where everyone needed something. Then it was down the road to Bookman’s used book store. Jan was looking for one last book in a Charlene Harris’ series, and she finally found it here.

Then it was back across town to pick up Nick’s cousin Bev to take her to dinner with us. We decided to have one last meal at Luckie’s Thai for some more great Chinese food.

And of course, more great leftovers.

On the way to Luckie’s, we passed an Ace Hardware and stopped in to get a TV splitter for Bev’s home TV.

We had our usually delicious meal at Luckie’s before finally heading back to Bev’s place. While we were there, Jan introduced Bev to Pinterest, while Nick and I checked out hooking Bev’s bedroom TV to her cable system.

Leaving Bev’s we got back to the rigs and called it a night.

And on another note, the war is not yet won. When I checked my traps after we got home tonight I found two more mice in my traps.

Darn it!

Tomorrow Jan and I plan to head for Las Cruces about 9:30, and Nick and Terry will move down the road to another RV park for a week or so before heading north.

Camping . . . nature’s way to feed the mosquitoes.
