We arrived back in Havasu yesterday about 2:00p Arizona
time. Traffic along the drive was a bit
heavy which can be expected since New Years is coming up. The temperature here is about 10 degrees
cooler than the California coast and today we have about 20 mph winds. Fortunately the winds are supposed to die
down tomorrow.

I’m a Big Spender
For the last year Susan has wanted, well needed a new cell
phone. Finally I decided to start
looking for a replacement for her antiquated communication device. One problem is, since I don’t want to give
up my Basic Phone Plan through Verizon (no need for a Data Plan) there is a
Very limited selection of phones available.
I was in the local Best Buy store here near our daughters house and
spotted a phone I though Susan would like.
As I always do I returned home and started my research on the Internet
before making my purchase. Well I found
the same phone at Walmart Wireless for $0.01.
That’s right, 1 cent. So I
started the online order process only to realize if I ordered it now it would
arrive at our place in Lake Havasu City before we arrived back. Also the website said it would be activated
when delivered. Not wanting it to be delivered
before we return and be activated leaving our present phone unless until we get
back I decided to abort the order. Not
wanting to possibility miss the 1 cent deal I called the order number and asked
about the activation process. Well the
girl (from India) said I could have it delivered after I return. So I placed the order and asked to have it
delivered after the first of the year.
The next day I checked the order status online and noticed it was
shipped and will arrive Dec 20, which it did.
Good thing is it hasn’t been activated and our present phone has not
been shut off. The other thing that
amazes me is they actually charged my credit card $0.01, yes that’s 1 cent.

Moved to California
We are now in California for Christmas. We only took the car, which gets MUCH BETTER
mileage than the motorhome. I was pleasantly
amazed that I got 30 MPG on this trip.
The last times I got around 28.
Guess the wind was blowing in the right direction.
Anyway, we are now at our daughters house until the day
after Christmas, then we will head on over to Susan’s parents house. They are only 30 minutes away.
We arrived Wednesday and today we got our grandson who will
spend a few days with us. Tomorrow we
will pick up our granddaughter for the day.
We haven’t seen her for quite some time.
I don’t plan on doing much here. It’s just nice to get away from the resort for a while and it
will be nice to see the family.
