The
rest of the country went into Daylight Saving Time mode but not us...Arizona
doesn’t observe DST. So my body clock
doesn’t have to do any adjusting...for now. We did miss watching the online church service
because church started at 9 a.m. Michigan time which means we would have to be
up at 6 a.m. to watch it live. I don’t
do 6 a.m....at least not on purpose.
--------------------
Attended church service this morning at
Picacho Baptist on the corner. The new
pastor, Gordon Vernon, seems very good.
I miss the easy going style of Rick Wilson, who retired last year due to
some medical issue which happened pre-COVID.
Found out toward the end of the service that Gordon is a brother to
Greg, the man who generally leads singing and makes announcements. Lila, the pianist, still makes playing the
piano look effortless. More people today
in attendance than I’ve ever seen...but I forgot to count.
-------------------
It
was decided to just hang around camp today.
John/Michele and Vickie/Dan have been doing so much driving that a day
to sit and relax really appealed to them. They played cards in the clubhouse. Kim and I did the round trip walk to Nutt Road and back. Just the
perfect thing for us to do this afternoon.
Tonight was potluck of sorts at our campsite. Our site is large (as
campsites go) and private, especially with the way Kim has the truck parked. So we all contributed whatever we had that
went with grilled burgers. Then we sat
around a campfire for a couple of hours.
Good food, good company, good way to spend the evening.
--------------------
Willie and Ann are leaving in the morning...the others are staying one
more night. They want to go to Saguaro
Nat’l Park West to walk among the saguaros.
That’s the place to do it for sure. We have an obligation in the morning
so we won’t go to the park with them. We
should be home around noon or one.
--------------------
The water
pumps for watering the pecan groves have been off for a couple of days now and
the canals are dry already. Last year they pumped water into the canals
for over 2 weeks; this year it was 7 or 8 days.
I wonder how they determine when the groves have had enough water. And I may have missed my opportunity to ask one
of the workers where the water comes from. I haven’t been seeing the white trucks now
that the pumps aren’t running. We still have
3 more weeks out here so maybe I’ll get another shot at it.
--------------------
Sky was clear tonight...Kim was able to image. And he was able to show all interested parties just what it is he does over in the corner of the campground.
