Cheryl: In just six days, we leave Phoenix for Catskill, New York, to attend the annual Norton motorcycle rally. The backyard looks vacant with all the chairs put away and the sun umbrellas tucked out of sight. The futon now sports a dark brown tarp to keep it clean and dry for a couple months. Yep, you read that right, we probably won't return to our Phoenix oasis until September. While we're gone, neighbors and caretakers will be in and out of the house at random times taking care of things for us.
Cleo and Peanut know something's up because I've started staging stuff in big plastic bins to carry out to the trailer when we pack. Every time we raise the garage door, the puppies go crashing against the gate and begin turning in "take-me, take-me" circles.
The temperature has been hovering around the 112 degree mark these last few days, so all of us are more than ready to "blow this pop stand." The pool water remains fixed at 90 degrees and "refreshing" no long describes the feeling I get when swimming laps.
We'd love to share with you stories of our wanderings across the country, and we'd very much enjoy hearing your comments about our adventures. Don't be shy, use the comments button! Our first trip post will probably be on Thursday, July 7, our daughter Stacie's birthday. We will depend on Wi-Fi access at RV parks, so we might not be able to post every day. Don't worry, we'll play catch up wherever we find electrons.
Happy trails, Cheryl, Frank, Peanut, and Cleo
