April 1/2020 - April 17/2020

Burning the glider rocker.  It had been baked
to a crisp in the unrelenting Arizona sunshine and
lets not forget what happened to its cushion!!

April 1st ushered in Kay's birthday.  It was bittersweet though as Lorne and Marilyn were not here to help us celebrate.  As you know, they made the decision to return to Canada on March 16th.  So, it was  just the three of us and we climbed into the side by sides, took the dogs and headed into the desert for a ride.  It was great.

We are inundated with the global pandemic of Covid 19 and have been doing the social distancing thing for quite some time now.   I am the only one that goes into the grocery store and then everything gets wiped down when I get it home.   Kay and I did sneak into Surprise to hit a local Walmart and the Home Depot..
We spent a quiet Easter this year.
We had a few bookings into the casita that had been cancelled due to the pandemic and that is a curse and a blessing all in one.  On one hand it is a hit to Kay's income but also it is a relief not to have to do all the terminal cleaning that would be required for this virus plaguing the world.
It is really time to get the camper into shape for our trip home to Canada. There was no more of the "I'll start next week" things.  The time was now and the next few weeks are going to be busy.
