I couldn't sleep. I found myself browsing old posts from Discover... When I ran across one that mentioned sweaty butt cheeks, I stopped. We're still battling summer in the Basin. I'm grumpier than ever because of the heat. But eight years ago, I still found the life on the RV Ranch highly amusing. Recycling this August post from 2017...

We're living life on the RV Ranch these days. If you're fromthe western United States, you might have a feel for a little town, that's nota town, like Tonto Basin. There are two gas stations, (update...we're down to one) an IGA Market, aDollar Store, and numerous RV parks. 

And don't forget the local hardware storewith local color. One day, I complained to the counter guy that it was reallyhot. He said, "my granny used to say if you wake up and there ain't sweattricklin' between your butt cheeks, then you're dead."

Up the road is Punkin' Center with a post office, school,and library. Down the road is Roosevelt Lake.

I dislike the desert...well, most deserts. This part ofArizona is what I call pretty desert because we have mountains and trees. It'salso only a thirty minute drive to pine country. There's an owl who lives in the tree outside our door. Javelinas (nasty wild pig like animals that aren't pigs at all) stroll through the park early mornings, and bunny rabbits are everywhere. At night, the coyotes howl.

Most everyone owns a dog. We don't. (update we do now...Amigo) Can't seem to replaceRusty. AND a dog does limit mobility. One man has a nice tribute to his deceased doggie.

The people here are from everywhere. Someare year round, others are weekenders, and still others come for the wintermonths.

These in-between years mean our household goods are instorage. I want to sell it all and if or when we get another real house, buymore. FDW isn't entirely on the same page. This month we compromised and we'reselling some. The antique German clock sold last week. Thereis some interest in two of FDW's cameras. I really want to sell our handcarved, teak tables from Taiwan. No bites yet.

How will it all shake out? Not sure, but I'll let you know.For now...I'll go with the flow.

(Update...we're going to become winter Ranch dwellers soon!)
