My sister & her husband live in their 5th wheel full time at the Pleasant Harbor RV Resort. We camped in the empty space next to them the last two nights which made it very convenient to visit with them. We hung out in the morning since she had some work to finish, then my brother came over for a while. It was good to see him, too. After lunch, Bette and I went shopping for upholstery fabric. She is going to recover a chair for me and the quest was on. I found a couple fabrics I like so now I just need to watch for it to go on sale! She did the measurements and I will be all set.
We went out to the White Horse Bar & Grill for dinner. Awesome burgers and a reasonable price. It had cooled down enough after dinner that we borrowed a neighbors golf cart and went down to the lake to let Penny swim. She had a blast chasing after the tennis ball and it cooled her down. She did not want to quit!
We were treated to an incredible sunset before heading back to the RV.
This morning we visited for a while before heading out to a plumbing supply store to pick up an order for our son back in Colorado. It was only a block off our route, so that was easy.
We made our way through the Valley and up Hwy. 87 to Payson on our way to Pine Top. It was totally overcast when we got up and we had a few sprinkles of rain along the way. I love the stretch of highway from Fountain Hills to Payson. While it is curvy, it is 2-lane, and has lots of saguaro and prickly pear cactus which I enjoy seeing.
After a short lunch break in Payson, we continued on to Hwy. 260 toward Pine Top. There is road construction off and on which slowed our progress, but we finally pulled into Pine Top about 4 pm. Our moms live in Scottsdale, two houses apart, but have been spending July and August in the mountains – staying out of that “dry heat” of the Valley! We plan to spend about four days with them before we journey north.
We took Penny for a nice walk, had dinner, then played cards. We are looking forward to spending time with them!

Wish we could have spent more time together, but we will have a "shop 'til you drop" day at Christmas while you are here. Enjoyed watching Penny play. My goodness that dog just doesn't wind down. A little like the energizer bunny... Talk to you soon. Love nd safe travels, Bette
I agree - it wasn't enough time! Looking forward to the "shop to you drop" day! Penny has cooled off some up here, but still a ball of energy.
Love you too! Sue
