Every two hours Blue of course has his meet and greet walk. The pet section has the friendliest people. Blue does NOT have any manors and jumps up and licks anyone that shows any interest. Blue is slowly learning that not all dogs want to play with a puppy.

On the way home we stopped at Monte Vista Resort and took photos of site 1233. This is the site my Mom and Dad had their park model on for many years. Only 1 side of the fruit trees are still there but all 3 palm trees are still alive.

Today the 1233 looks like this:

Teri goes to Class

Teri is busy with mosaic class today so Blue and I did the laundry, then off to Walmart for a few things. Then Blue wanted to stay outside, by himself. The boy is starting to show some independence. Blue loves to watch the people and dogs go by.

Friday Hike Club

Here at Palm Creek RV Resort they have a club for just about everything you can think of. I love the Friday Hike Club. Today I took the Shorter Hike – Javelina Loop Trail with a side trip on the Wild Burrow Trail to the Old Stone line shack site for lunch. The total distance was 5 miles with an elevation gain of 130 feet ( about 4 times) The hike is rated as a C. The other choice was the longer Hike of 7.1 miles 1065’ elev. gain rated as a A-.

The trail head is a few miles north and east of Tucson. The spring flowers at the trail head.

This is our site at Palm Creek RV resort in Casa Grande, Az.

Teri started a mosaic class and Blue saw the vet today. Blue is 16.4 pounds and a very healthy puppy whippet with up to date shots including rabies.

In the evening we went to a choir concert of the Palm Creek Resort residents. The concert was sold out for 2 nights and the music was great for about 60 senior amateurs.
