Where have You Been
We are still in Casa Grande Arizona going on our third week. We continue to watch the weather north of here and will begin our trek in that direction when it looks like we can dodge all the snow flakes, floods, tornadoes, and what ever else will appear in our path. It’s pretty hard to find fault with 80’s, and sun shine every day, here in the southwest.
We left our “tininthewind” motor coach here at the Rovers Roost Escapee’s RV Park and flew from Phoenix to Seattle and a much needed visit with our Son’s and their families. The grandkids at this young age are still excited to see grandma and grandpa. The hugs, kisses, and snuggles are worth their weight in gold.
Visiting and vacationing in the Phoenix area are our former neighbors and good friends, Norm and Jean Krause, and Melvin and Lorraine Miller. We all met for an afternoon baseball game between the Arizona Diamond Backs playing the LA Dodgers. The Diamond Backs won 5 to 4. Throwing out the first pitch was JJ Yelie the driver of the #96 Nascar Racecar. He entered the stadium with one of the cars to the applause of the baseball crowd. Kathleen is and always has been a huge Dodgers fan so going to the game was a real treat.
Most of you know that we both are die hard Nascar fans and Dale Earnhardt Jr. who now drives the #88 is our favorite driver. Since Nascar is running at the Phoenix International Raceway this week-end it is only fitting that we attend. We are going to both of the major races. Friday night will be the running of the Nation Wide Series and will be televised on ESPN. Saturday night will be the running of the Sprint Cup Series and will be televised on Fox. We will be in the Pettie Grandstand, turn 4, right across from the entrance to the pits, row 27, seats 7 & 8. We also have pit passes and will be taking in everything we can in and around the teams as they prepare for the races. We are extremely excited. Can you tell!
