Last Day in Mesa

We spent our last day in the Mesa area visiting Jan and George, doing laundry, and shopping. Jan was nice enough to go to both Sam's and Costco with us so we could use her membership. At Sam's we got two 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batteries. We are hoping to have them installed when we arrive in Quartzite so that we'll have a bit more reserve capacity for boondocking, along with our generator. We are still planning on getting a solar system, but it looks like that might wait until we get to Oregon.

Jan and I left the guys at home and went clothes shopping at Costco and Savers (a really nice thrift shop). We also went to an unusual bargain store, a combination of a hardware store, a dollar store, and a thrift shop. They even had two Segways, very cheap. I broke down and bought a travel iron.

After dinner we had Snickers ice cream bars for dessert, and the two dogs (Happy and Sweetie) had "Frosty Paws." Yes, it's doggie ice cream, and Sweetie was crazy about it. She will miss being spoiled at Jan's.

Tina and her boyfriend came over after dinner. As always, Tina has lots going on in her life and was quite entertaining. She travels as a representative of a prosthesis company.
