We drove the motorhome to Tucson yesterday and got the AC/converter problem fixed. Beaudry was super and we were very impressed with their technicians, service writer and everything. It turned out that the problem was simple (a bad breaker) and once diagnosed was fixed quickly. I will not let Ron say anything about our house being perfect unless he knocks on a lot of wook.

I just posted another excellent View from the Driver's Seat article by Ron; it is one of his best.

I also just posted a recipe for a Sesame Noodles, a delicious salad which Claudia and Dante served us when we were with them in South Dakota.

GOOD NEWS FOR MANY OF YOU

So many have asked where they can get copies of our book, An Alternative Lifestyle, and we have had to say, "Sorry, it is out of print." We didn't have any and didn't know of anyone else who had some. But we just got a call from the wholesaler that handled that book for Barnes and Noble. They just received  63 copies of our book and were going to throw them away. We rescued them and are buying them back so we can offer them to any of you who want them. They are being shipped to us here in Mesa and we ask for you to act fast if you want a copy of this book that many still call the "bible for full-timing."

Our special offer
For each copy of An Alternative Lifestyle that you would like to have please send us a check or money order for only $10.00 (U.S. funds only). We will autograph the book and pay the postage to send the book to you. This is truly a bargain because the regular price is $12.95 and we always added $4.00 for shipping.

Please hurry
All of these orders must be processed by October 31 because we are leaving here shortly after that. And since there are so few books, we will take orders on a first-come--first-serve basis. Send your check or money order to us as soon as possible to ensure that you get one of these books which will be a collector's item when these are gone. If your order arrives after these books are gone, we will, of course, return your check by return mail.

This address is only good until October 31.

An Alternative Lifestyle is different from Movin' On so even if you have Movin' On, you will like having An Alternative Lifestyle. And when these are gone, I can honestly promise that there will absolutly be no more.

We had a horrible storm here yesterday (Sunday, September 19). It hailed, poured rain, the wind blew and it was scary. The only damage that we experienced was a ripped up sewer hose. Many of the park models here had extensive damage and the park suffered major damage too. Rather than fill up this page any more than it is, I have pictures posted on this link. Storm
