Glee and Roof Rack=busy week

Well it's been a busy week or so. Last Sunday we went to Phoenix to see the stage musical production of "Glee", of tv fame. There was a huge crowd at Dodge Theater and all ages were represented. One of the great things about the program "Glee" is the diverse cast and this was represented in the audience too. We were not the only ones representing the "older" generation! We were all probably outnumbered 100 to 1 (or more) by teenage girls, and all of them seemed to have some kind of fancy phone/device to take photos of themselves, their friends and anyone else that moved! Those little white screens were everywhere! If you know the tv program you will remember Will Schuster, the Glee teacher, and cheerleader coach, Sue Sylvester... they were there via video screens, doing their part to tell the 'story'. We enjoyed the show very much. This was their opening for the tour and we got the full treatment.

Today, Friday, we went to REI and picked up paddles, life vests (pfd's) and roof rack for the Jeep, to start our outfitting for the kayaks. Then we came home and ordered kayaks and equipment to fill out our requirements for our paddle adventures. We have researched, Googled and read about as much as we could take in, stewed over and over, "should we, should we not," !!! Well, we done did it, and we're glad! We will pick up the kayaks at the REI in Tacoma when we returned to WA. I must say, we were impressed with the service both in the store and on the phone today. Look out Los Barriles, we'll be ready to BOAT!!

We expect to leave Casa Grande mid time next week, if the packing up of coach goes well. Can't wait to live on those new floors and chairs.. mean while, Happy Trails..
