LIVING THE RETIREMENT

Ron, Daisy and I started our full timing on Feb 14, we spent 14 days in Grove, Ok on Grand Lake.  It was cold and snowy, but we were retired and ready to get started.  We ate at The Lazy Parrot on Grand Lake and Jake the parrot was there and talked all the time.  Dinner was wonderful we had coconut shrimp and steak with baked potato and salad.  So good-got to watch the sun go down over the Lake it was a nice date night.  We ate at a Mexican restaurant called La Casita De Martin in Grove that had the best tacos.  It was all you could eat taco night and they make their own taco shells with corn and deep fry them in canola oil.  Oh my they were sooooo good.  I ate 3 and got 2 others and just ate the insides.  Dang they were the best. 

On Thursday Feb 28 we left Grove and went to Tulsa to get the windows on the car tinted and to meet TJ to sign over the papers on the Mercury.  Had dinner with Leslie and told her good bye.  We took the motor home to Deans RV and hooked up there.  They were going to fix a couple things for us first thing Friday morning.  Friday morning got all our things done and left Tulsa.

Drove Friday and stayed the night at the Double D RV Park in Texola, Ok. Our space was $14 with passport america.  We ate at the restaurant there at the park and our dinner was $24.   We got up early Saturday morning and had breakfast as Mitchells Family Dining in Shamrock Tx.  Terrible service so slow and they had smoking in this restaurant.  Wont eat there again.  Drove to Albuquerque and spent Saturday night at the Enchanted Trails RV Park & Trading Post.  It was a nice park cost us about $18 passport america.  We ate at Cracker Barrell came back to the park and slept like babies.  We got up Sunday morning and got ready to go.  Went into Albuquerque and had breakfast at Denney's on Coors Blvd.  It was the BEST service and food we really enjoyed it.

Left Albuquerque and headed for Williams, Az.  When we got here we checked in the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park.  It is a very nice park.  The cost for our space was $20is dollars with passport america.  We ate dinner at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel they had a buffet and it cost $40, but it was worth it.  Will go there in the morning for breakfast buffet.  The temp was low 60's when we got here.  Nice weather and no snow.  yeah...

Daisy seems to be getting a little more use to living in the motor home.  Ever once in a while she will come out from in front of the driver and passenger chairs, that is where she likes to be...She loves to go outside.  hopefully when we get to Vegas we can let her stay outside with us when we are setting on the patio.
