Valentine’s Day in Tucson

---

We cooked up a romantic dinner at our cozy space at the RV park in Tucson for Valentine’s Day.

The weather was ideal and the glow of a late afternoon sun, picture perfect.

Shrimp on the barbee was the main; I fired up the Weber propane grill.

Under Shaddy’s supervision from the door of the 5th wheel, Nan set the table and poured the wine.

Sides were taters and carrots. The wine was a delightful two vine Columbia Crest Chardonnay. It is amazing how much less good wine costs in Arizona compared to prices back home in Washington State.

Our strategy was to avoid the crowds, enjoy a delicious meal at “home,” and the night after to visit a less crowded favorite Mexican food restaurant.

We are enjoying our stay in Tuscon. Our rig is parked behind the park model home of Nan's sister Suzie.

Nan is participating in Zumba, swimming exercise, jewelry making and such. I'm having fun on the shuffleboard and bocce ball courts.

In two weeks, we will hitch up and head to Mesa for a month.

Wow, that meal looked delicious. Good enough to eat. Glad you are enjoying your stay in Tucson. Every thing is going well here. I started theraphy on my hand yesterday. I still have to wear the brace for several weeks, but with my fingers sticking out I have a little more use of my hand. Take care. Livvie

Howdy you guys!
Hi Paddy! We went out on Sunday night, and it still..... was busy, so with shrimp on the barbie, I would have stayed in too! Glad you two are having fun. Photo of reflection in wine glass is interesting, really; does the world turn upside down when you drink? teehee It's raining and cold here, snow falling a little higher up, so I envy Nancy taking swimming exercise classes, or dining outdoors. Glad you are both having a good time though. Take care, and thanks for sharing with me. Tell Nancy "hello" from the Lemon.... Lemon

Valentine's Day Dinner
Looks like a great spread, pardner! You certainly had Shaddy droolin'! For change, we decided to go out for V's Day dinner - found a great new restaurant near South Mountain - in a moment of romantic weakness, I even had a vase of roses delivered and waiting on our table when we arrived. Mare was both stunned and pleased! Lookin' forward to your visit next month. Dave and Mare

Looks like the wine was very good and had a 'subtle' effect.

scrumptious indeed
Nice photo shots of your meal there Paddy. Given that reality is a 'bitch' you 3 seem to be having the time of your life. We are well enough here. It is terribly cold on a daily basis. Ruth and I head to Pam Springs on March 14th for 4 days. Staying at an upscale hotel that has a PGA golf course attached. I'm bringing my clubs and plan to roll the dice as well as the ball. Too cold to play or practice here so I might be a bit rusty. I bought some good looking and stylish microfiber pants (Greg Norman line with the emblem of a shark on the belt line). Continued happy travels! Love, Thomas John
