We started the new year off by moving the motorhome by going to Camping World in Mesa for a day trip. When we returned we could not hook up to the internet and had to move the MH three different times, still not connecting. The next day we talked to Moto-Sat to see if the sat tables had changed, not, so we had to reboot everything and finally we were able to connect. Yah!
Larry had his trailer mover listed on Craig’s List and a fellow came and bought it so that gave us some extra money. Larry bought a gun with his half and I bought a two burner induction cooktop. It is really fast and I really like it.
Jan 6 we met at Sweet Tomatoes to celebrate Dawn’s birthday. It is always good to see family and share a meal together. I baked a cake to help celebrate.
Monday Jan7 Larry had a VA appt. and he had x-rays of his shoulder. After the VA I did another mystery shop for our meal and then we went to the movies (Christmas gift) to see Les Miserables. I have not seen the Broadway version so it was all new to me. It is an unusual musical in everything said is sung. I enjoyed it as it had a good story line, no sex or cussing but there was violence.
Phoenix had a four day cold spell with night time temperatures below freezing and daytime temps. in the 40’s. So glad that is behind us!
After the cold spell Larry got busy and finished several projects. He fixed one of our bedroom day/night shades, put in a new ramp for his trailer/shop, and put bug deflectors on the front fork of his BMW bike. While it was cold he replaced my old cooktop with the new induction cooktop. It was a two day project and kind of messy but well worth the effort. He had to put a switch on the front of the cabinet so I won't accidentally turn it on since it is now the counter top. He also put a new winch in the trailer under the sewing machine so we can load the BMW into the trailer easier.
We had planned to go to Prescott on Jan 21 with Dawn and Vince to celebrate Larry’s mother’s 90th birthday but she called us on the Friday before saying she would not be alive on Monday and please come. By the time we gathered our things together and arrived in Prescott, she was feeling better. We stayed and Dawn and Vince came up on Monday as planned to celebrate her birthday. We returned to Phoenix on Tues. the 22nd.
On Sat Jan 26 we went to the park Chili cook-off and enjoyed our meal especially since Larry went for free since he won the door prize from the monthly breakfast two weeks before.
Dawn and Vince invited us out to Genghis Grill to celebrate my 70th birthday. She baked a cake and when the server, Tim saw it, he wanted a piece of cake too. Then he asked if we wanted ice cream to go with it. When Dawn asked, ‘how much?’, he replied ‘nothing’ and brought out five bowls of ice cream. How cool is that?
We ended up going back to Prescott on the 30th because Mom Clark’s phone was busy for two days (she left it off the hook) but one never knows about that sort of thing, especially since she seems to be going downhill very fast. She has shortness of breath, swollen legs and no energy, all signs of congestive heart failure. We are planning to go back on Monday Feb 4. It makes it very hard when she will agree to go to a home one minute and the next minute be adamantly against it.
