Visiting Day

When I pulled into the Walmart in Benson, Arizona, I saw this Leisure Travel RV parked nearby.

Because it looked like one we used to own I was, of course, curious about it but I was too tired to inquire. Then the next morning, as I was finally uncovering my windows I saw a fellow checking out my rig. So we visited. This is Dennis, owner of that LT.

We visited a couple of times during the morning. Each time we each taught the other something else about this lifestyle. We both went away with URLs to check out.

When I stopped here I had not planned to stay through the day but you know those comments about man’s plans.

Judie & Gary live about an hour south of here. Judie is one of my internet friends and she had expressed an interest in seeing my Sportsmobile. So when I realized how close I was to her I contacted her. They were interested enough to be willing to drive to me. So I hung around waiting for them.

In the meantime I found out Mike & Julie are parked in an RV park here in town and wanted to know if I wanted to get together while here. So I told them I was at the Walmart. I figured since I was staying another day I would give them a call later to see if they wanted to meet for supper.

Then our daughter, the truck driver, called. She would be passing through Benson about 1:00. Did I want to meet up? Of course I do. See my daughter? Absolutely.

So about 11:30 Judie and Gary came and we visited.

When they left I took a quick nap in preparation for a long chat with my daughter. Who didn’t arrive on schedule. It turned out the load she was picking up wasn’t ready. So we thought she’d be here about 3:00 instead. At 2:30 they finished loading her truck. OK, she’ll be here about 5:00. A little after 6:00 she finally arrived. And we talked and talked until bedtime. Then she went to sleep in her truck and I went to sleep in my van. This morning she came back. About 7:30 am. But I was actually up and doing computer stuff although I was still wearing pajamas. She had made three trips into Walmart and on the last one she locked herself out of the truck. It would take about 45 minutes for the fixit guy to arrive. So we talked some more.

I took her picture, too, but she said she didn’t want it posted on the internet. She authorized this one. 🙂

So, she finally got into her truck and left. I am finally dressed, fed, and almost packed up. My batteries are getting very low so I need to start driving to recharge them. But, I never did get to see Mike & Julie.

Such is life on visiting day.
