Every April 30,000 people gather in the parking lot near ASU’s Sun Devil Stadium. It’s early, but they still come. There are super fast sprinters, wheelchair racers, teams, families, military platoons and walkers. Many, like us, have the date circled in red on the calendar. They come from near and far but they are all…
Lemony Delight
Easter in Arizona is always an adventure, weather wise. After our winters are over, we look forward nervously to the warming temperatures of spring. We don’t want the 90’s to arrive too soon because that means the 100’s are not far behind. If only we could have January and February temps year-round, sigh. Most times…
Easter Cadbury Blondies
I can’t be the only one that stocks up on holiday candy. I just can’t be. My grocery store always puts the holiday candy on sale 4 or 5 weeks before the holiday. I’m talking a screaming deal sale that when combined with my coupons, makes them super screaming deal. Who doesn’t like a bag…
Exploring Antelope Canyon
This had been high on our list for a while. It’s one of the coolest things we’ve ever seen. We originally planned on a fall 2020 visit but we all know what happened to mess that up. We chose Ken’s Tours; at the time we were looking to make reservations they were the only ones…

Saving $$ With FMCA
Spring is wonderful in the desert southwest. Our temps are perfect, the sunsets are extra vibrant and you can smell orange blossoms everywhere. It’s also been extra fabulous because this week is FMCA Rally Week. It’s been a great several days making new friends, learning all kinds of new things and even cooking for 550…
Crockpot Salsa Verde Con Queso Dip
We are chips and salsa people, 100%. We never turn down a second basket in a Mexican restaurant. I guess I shouldn’t say never because we are trying to keep our weight in check. Cheesy salsa, that’s a whole other ball game. You will always find a brick of Velveeta and a can of Rotel…
St. Patrick’s Day Pistachio Pudding Pie
Happy Pi Day! It’s one of my favorite dessert days, you all know how much I love pie. We’ve made this before and called it an Eagles Pie in honor of our dear friends who are rabid Eagles fans. We had it for the NFC title game and then again for the Super Bowl. Last…
AZ Vocab
Do you have interesting ways to say things in your little corner of the world? Arizona does, too. Have no fear, I’ve put together a little cheat sheet for you so you can instantly sound like a true Arizonan even if you have a Brooklyn accent when you come to the 101st FMCA Rally in…
A Day in Cody
We had a little time in between the FMCA Rally and Yellowstone so we decided to check out Cody, Wyoming. First on the agenda was dumping our tanks and laundry. We had that night and a full day. I know that’s not a lot of time, our plan was to cram in as much as…
