Lazy Days in AZ

We have not done much in sight-seeing for the past 2 months, just getting accoustomed to where we are and how we live. The weather is warming up, mid to high 80's during the day, mid 50's at night. We have heard the coyotes a couple of nights, but the stars! Amazing! We did get our park model delivered and we have ownership of it now and for the past 10 days we have been busy with putting up hooks, shelves, little of this, little of that. Re-arranging the living area, taking out everything in the cupboards in the kitchen and redoing it, trying to figure out what is best in terms of dining table (we are using a card table and folding chairs for now), but loving every minute of it. So different in a park model versus an RV - we even have a garbage disposal! Are we spoiled, or what? I asked Dave when he is going to go out and dump - something we don't have to do in this place, but will have to relearn this when we get back into the RV. As for Chip and Grace - they are loving it too. The picture above is from the door of the bedroom looking in as they are laying in the sun, and Grace is doing her weird sense of laying - with her head lower than her butt. Silly cat. Chip is doing okay, I load him up with laxatives in the morning and evening meal and he hates taking it - but there is no choice. He has lost weight but I think he has stabilized. I don't mind feeding him alot of food - he isn't gaining. Chip now weighs about 12 pounts - way down from his 18. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, is quite active and jumps and runs all over. We are happy. However, when we take off to go to Montana sometime around the middle of May - we shall see how he does. If he begins to crash, we will head back here. Will get Chip and Grace to the vet before we go - to make sure they are okay. Getting excited - will have our first official guest here the end of April when my sister flies in for a long weekend while Dave flies to Florida and then drive to Cleveland from there (helping Phyllis home), then staying about 5 to 6 days more to visit with family, home the 7th of May. Then we will pack up and head to Montana, providing Chip is doing okay by May 15th. Starting to get the hitch-itch. Watching folks here pull out to go back to their summer homes - Alaska, Kansas, Montana, British Columbia, Colorado, to name some of the places they depart to. And there are a number of folks who live here all year!
