Dust Storm in Route to South Padre Island TX

Dairy building with "Boo" the trailer in parking lot!

We over nighted (3/29) in San Elizario TX just south of El Paso. We stayed at a place we found with our Harvest Host App called Licon's Dairy. Getting here however proved to be quite interesting, we encountered our first dust storm with an occasional rain shower. I had just hand washed the truck on the eve of our departure from Tucson AZ, after yesterday, it looks worse than before LoL!!! One advantage of of the winds as high as they were (30mph w/ gust of 60mph) it was a tail wind so I was able to get 11-12 mpg pulling the trailer! We got there to late last night to check out there choices so we will be doing that this morning! Can't wait to see what yummy things we can find before we make our exit! There is also a petting zoo here we will check out before we depart. Well, we checked, all the cheese products we sold in to big a packaging to fit into our RV fridge. So I settled for a cookies and cream ice cream bar, needless to say it was very tasty! Checked out the petting zoo, had quite the variety of animals!

Lammas, Sheep & Goats, off screen Ostriches, cows & others.
Basically, was to cold and windy to wander from the trailer.

SOWER's Project: Youth Haven, Eloy, AZ - 2021 March (I will probably be adding more pictures to this)

 

I was reminded, AGAIN, that I was not up to date on my blog! LoL, You know who you are, and thank you for the gentle reminder!!

We signed up for a project in the small town of Eloy, AZ, about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson at a place called Youth Haven, a Bible Camp for disadvantaged children. If interested, their web page is: https://www.youthhaven.org/ 

Our duties here, for me, has been helping remodel a home for the newly hired maintenance person and his family. Because a laminate floor was installed all the toilets and doors were removed and I got to reinstall them. Also helped assemble the knobs and handles on the new cabinets and becoming proficient at installing bathroom sinks! Today I was repairing bicycles!

Toilet install, reminded me almost of the old days

Door Doors Doors and more Doors

Starr has been working on picking up after the construction crew and doing trimming on bushes, I have determined that if something is growing out of the ground in Arizona, there are nasty thorns on it!!!!
