Busy organizing, shopping and eating out. Getting caught up with the unpacking, stowing and setting up. Still have time for the pool and a bit of relaxing. Enjoying looking over their back fence into a huge retention pond area which acts as a bit of a wildlife preserve.
Trip Log
June 21, 2019
Spent a busy day yesterday unpacking, moving things out of the garage, setting things up and putting things away but we did find time to enjoy the pool and do some shopping.
June 19, 2019
Yesterday Jeff and Danielle signed mortgage papers and today we were waiting for the keys before they could move in. Closing in Arizona is quite different than what we are used to: everybody sitting at a table, signing papers, exchanging money and keys.

Made it at 1:30 this afternoon and are staying at the "Aloft" in Mesa. Jeff and Danielle are off signing mortgage papers then a walk-thru of the home this evening. The closing is tomorrow and the trailer should arrive that afternoon.

Got an early start since this was the longest day of the trip (540 miles). We gained an hour when we passed into New Mexico and MDT. The scenery was great in OK, Texas and New Mexico, the first real western scenery with sagebrush, mesas, buttes and mountains.

Good ride as Alesa rode with Jeff and Danielle and they laughed all the way down the road. I had both grandkids as a fathers’ day gift. And, I did enjoy it. Most of the time was spent on the telephones between the cars as we drove down the road.
June 15, 2019
Headed out early for a long day and gained an hour as we are now in the central time zone. Drove down Broadway in Nashville, parked by the river and had a snack by Ryman auditorium. Then off to Memphis with a stop at Graceland.
June 14, 2019
Bailey is having an eye problem so they had a prescription sent to a local CVS and they picked them up this morning. We then headed out to a Holiday Inn in Knoxville, TN. Arrived there before dinner and we all hung out by the pool.
June 13, 2019
Two more trips to the dump and another to Goodwill but this time the one just down the street from Jeff’s. Took more than the contracted space and luckily they will just bill you for the additional. The buyers made a final inspection of the house and returned the security deposit.
June 12, 2019
A full day of loading the trailer and a trip to “habitat” to donate some very good furniture plus miscellaneous items. Some of the items they wouldn’t take so we went to Goodwill just down the road and they took it all. Also took a trip to the dump.
