Paper Delivery-just like home

We are in Cottonwood, Az., in the Sedona/Red Rocks area above Phoenix. Decided to stop here for a few days and totally relax. Traveling so many days in a row is hard on the older folk. The area is beautiful and has lots to see but we saw most of it several years ago so we are just being lazy. We are in a very nice Thousand Trails Park.

We like to sit, drink coffee and read the paper in the morning. That has become our ritual. Most of the time, one of us has to go to the clubhouse or security shack to get the paper out of a stand, but here they deliver it to your RV. Seems just like home. Certainly saves having to have quarters all the time. Sometimes the machines don't work. We feel lost if we don't get a paper. I know that a lot of people get it on the Internet now, but not us. We are from the older generation. I like to sit and have something in my hand. While we are reading, Denny and I discuss what we have read. A good way to start the morning.

As we left Holbrook traveling west to Flagstaff, we saw our first snow capped mountains since we left. Felt like we were really coming home. It was nice to see and there was even snow on the sides of the freeway. Seemed odd after all the hot weather we have been in.

When we leave here Sat, we are heading to Yosemite National Park. We have never been there. When we went thru in Dec. it was much too cold and had snow. Yosemite has to be seen in the spring or summer. We will be there for a few days and then head straight home-no more sightseeing. We think we will be home by the 2nd week of May at the latest, maybe earlier.
