A Week of R n R

As usual, the week has flown by with little to show for what we have done.  We are still in Lake Havasu City enjoying some of the weather (I say some as the past couple of days have been cool and windy).  We did get a few chores done but on the most part, we spent most of the time just relaxing and thinking that soon, the days of relaxation will be over!

As usual, we did help out the economy a bit as we checked out the various stores and there is always a bargain to be had.  Stopped in at a Tractor Supply store (similar to our Peavy Mart back home) and they were selling chicks.  Some of them that were a bit older (were already getting their feathers) were being sold for 25c each - I think that is quite a bargain.

One of the grocery stores must of had some excess cucumbers so I picked up a package of 5 for 59c - we made some refrigerator pickles.  That is too good a bargain to pass up.

Last weekend we went to the swap meet.  The one here in Lake Havasu is quite large and really very interesting.  There was a travel trailer on display - sleeps 4 and is built for rugged back country camping and I understand that it is built in Alberta.  Very interesting indeed.

Right near us there was a bike race which was part of a triathlon which was being held today.  It was interesting that some of the policing for events such as this is done by volunteers.

Every day you see a plane fly around towing a large sign.  I would think that this we be a very expensive form of advertising but perhaps it is more effective - who knows?

While not as often as in some other places we have been but there were some military helicopters flying by.  I have wondered why they always fly in pairs.  One day I may think to ask and then maybe I will know.

Since we will likely be leaving Arizona shortly, I thought I would add one last Arizona desert sunset.  They are often so spectacular.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great week!!
