Not a lot going on the last two days. The weather has been cool and rainy and not really warm enough to be out and about very much. We made a trip to Walmart today and boy were they busy. Seemed just like a day or two before Christmas. Just a few days ago we were in a large store and there was really not a lot going on. Just like an ordinary day. It is apparent that there is a slow down in buying and there are several
businesses that have given notice that they will be closing their doors the first of the year.
One would think that in the Phoenix area, with all the snowbirds in town, the business would be about normal, but apparently the big box stores are hurting enough that they are going to have to close. I think that the big stores like Walmart will survive alright, they might have to close some of the smaller stores, community stores, they call them here. I checked and there are 12 stores in the Mesa, AZ zip code. Several are the small community stores, so they might be hurting, but time will tell how things come out.
Our photo is of Evelyn and I with the van and the motor home. It was taken at Lone Star Escapee park in Hondo, TX.
We are thinking about spending some time in Quartzite, not sure when but maybe after the Fiddlers Jam which is the first part of January.
