I do like our new site. The view out of Auntie Violet's front window is really nice. There is a wide walking path about twenty feet wide between us and the three-rail fence that delineates the edge of the park. The park is less then half full at this time of the year (many snow-birds don't come down until after the holidays), so there isn't a whole lot of walking traffic yet. I know that last winter when I walked around the park perimeter for exercise, there were always lots of people on the trail.
I did hear a horse whinnying this afternoon, but never did spot it. It is Open Range country all around the park. Last year we saw both cattle and horses on the other side of the fence.
We did not go shopping before we left Oregon nor did we stop to shop enroute. As a result, the larder is very empty. Today we drove into Fountain Hills for just two things. The first - and probably the most important - was to go to the post office to mail our ballots back to Washington State. It is sort of frustrating for the counting in Washington that the ballots must be postmarked by Election Day. (Many states require ballots to arrive by Election Day.) The entire state of Washington votes by mail, so sometimes it takes a while to really know how an election turned out.
After the post office, we headed for the Safeway store and groceries. I spent over three hundred dollars -- and didn't even buy meat or have a full cart! And then of course, when you get home you have to haul everything into the house AND put it all away!
