American Adventure 2015
Weather horrible gale force wind with sand blowing everywhere! Not much to do around centre today the museum is closed unfortunately. We spent the day relaxing and packing for our journey tomorrow back down to Florence in Tucson. Claire and I fed the dogs again and then went to the little gift shop in reception and bought a few gifts to send home. Dinner was better tonight (couldn't have been worse). We are leaving at 7am for our 280 mile journey back to Tucson. The temperature is 70to 80 degrees in Tucson so sunshine here we come......

David Tester Well it looks like you’re all enjoying a wonderful holiday, except for the weather and that lovely stew, but only a week left though, I expect don’t want reminding about that. It’s a little fractious in this neck of the woods but before I explain I have a request, if you happen to go into one of those cowboy provision stores, you know like the one Alan Ladd used in the film Shane, I wondered if you could look for a cowboy song book with songs in it like `Three Wheels on my Wagon` and `I’m an Old Cow Hand from the Rio Grande`, I could do with some new songs because I`ve been singing with my guitar that song `Home, home on the range` you know, that one where the dear and the antelope play, where seldom is heard a discouraging word, a bit different to what I hear in this house, well it takes a lot of practice but I’ve probably only sung it about thirty times a day to try to get it right, Penny has taken to removing her hearing aid and sticking her fingers in her ears, a little bit unkind I feel, but the final straw came when she snatched my guitar from me and has hidden it somewhere, well I can tell you I have to put up with episode after episode of that silly old biddy Miss Marbles, or whatever her name is, I can`t even watch `The Lone Ranger` or `The Cisco Kid`, Penny keeps the remote control in her handbag and I`m not allowed to touch that. So life`s a bit boring at the moment, I`ve spent a few hours playing Buckaroo but I get a bit fed up playing on my own as I keep winning, so a song book would be great, I`m sure Penny will give my guitar back if I learn some new songs. I have thought of something else to play but I`ll let you know about that next message. Bye, keep on cowboy`in and enjoy your last few days.
