Counting Down to Blast Off

Casa Grande, Arizona
Leisure Valley RV Resort

Tomorrow we head over to Lake Havasau City for the annual Winter Blast Pyrotechnic Show.  The weather promises to be much better than last year, which was the worst weather since we've been attending.

Bud and Susie had us over for dinner a few nights ago followed by entertainment put on by their RV park.  

Jerry was very funny and quite good.  He did a ventriloquist show.  

He put this mask on someone from the audience which made the mouth open as he talked.  It sounds crazy but was really funny.





The second half of his act he played a few notes of songs and asked the audience what was the song and singer.  Everyone seemed to participate.  

Last night Harry, Carlena, Bud and Susie came over for some burgers.  It was one of those days where I was really disorganized but in the end, everything worked out.  We all had a good time and before we knew it, it was very late.  I felt sorry for Bo and Zoey who had a very late supper.

Even though George and Linda are up in the deep snow, we all enjoyed a group phone call.  

Sorry I didn't think to take some photos.  

Today Ron and Mary joined us for the annual Gourd Festival.  It was fun and even though there were many beautiful gourds, we walked out empty handed.  

Bill enjoyed seeing the gourd dressed as a cowboy.

It's amazing what some people see in a gourd.

 I was disappointed that I didn't win this one.

Ron and Mary "got gourd".

You can buy gourds and also take lessons here.

This was one of my favorites.

This turtle was in the other building where you could purchase some of these pieces.

It was a lot of fun and very interesting.  

Naturally, we stopped for a very long lunch before we parted until we leave in the morning.  It was another great day.
