Sun City, Arizona

This is looking down one of the many streets at Paradise RV Resort. As you can see, most of the places here are pretty permanent residences. While each of the sites has a concrete patio at the site, most of the more permanent ones have either poured concrete or bricked the remainder of their property. I saw several ads of units, mostly park models, for sale when we stopped at the office activity center this afternoon. The prices seemed to start at about $25,000 with most at $29,000. That seemed awfully low --I'll have to look again to make sure it wasn't just for the lot. But then they had spaces checked for washer/dryers, dishwashers, etc... Some of the units are very nicely landscaped, mostly xieroscaping (sp?), with lots of cacti.

We didn't get up very early this morning -- it was so nice to sleep without blankets! Phoenix had a record-breaking high of 80 degrees today. We took the toad and scouted out the route to Trinity Mennonite Church in Glendale where my meetings will be starting tomorrow morning at 8 AM. It took us almost 40 minutes to get there from here and it wasn't rush hour morning traffic. I suppose we'd better allow an hour tomorrow...

We also made a much needed Costco run. It turned out to be an expensive trip -- Forry found three sets of double DVDs of old Marilyn Monroe movies. We're now the proud owners of "How to Marry a Millionaire," "Bus Stop," "There's No Business Like Show Business," "Monkey Business," "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," and "The Seven Year Itch."
