Bluegrass-Tuskegee Airmen; Dec2011-Jan2012

Not too much happened in December, so I will combine it with January 2012.

December 2011:


London Bridge, Lake Havasu
Not much happening this month except we went to Quartzsite to get update on our car GPS, but since the vender wasn’t there, we went to see Bud and Lisa in Lake Havasu.  We went back to Quartzsite later in the month to get the update.

This was the first Christmas at Apache Wells with the new managers Gregg and Valarie.  They made it a special event with champagne toasts and commemorative glasses for us all. 



January 2012:

Tuskegee Airmen


Blythe Bluegrass Festival
This was the month for the theater and entertainment.  We went to see “Brigadoon” at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater, Christina and Alie (America’s Got Talent) in concert at a Cal-Am park, a tribute to the Tuskegee Airman at the Arizona Wing Aviation Museum, the Blythe Bluegrass Festival (where we dry camped in the desert in Quartzsite), the play “See How They Run” in the round at the Hale Theater which was new to us, a tribute to John Denver by Brad Fitch at the Arizona Opry, The Duttons at the Broadway Palm, and My Fair Lade at the Mesa Arts Center.  It was quite a month of entertainment.

Besides that we went to Tucson to visit some friends Cathy in her new place and Will and Joann.  We also had a few days to spare to go to Laughlin for two days on a World Span Tour bus with a group from Apache Wells.

I had been asked to make a presentation at an entertainment night at the Apache Wells Club House, so I put a slideshow together about our sailboat cruising in Mexico.  It seemed to be a hit.  Many that did not get to see it had heard about it and wanted another showing.
