WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE MERIDIAN

We are enjoying our time here at the Meridian RV Resort. The people are friendly and very active. Our neighbor across from us has quite a sense of humor. He calls their rig “Stuff A Lot Inn”. On Halloween they had a huge vampire bat across the front of their motor home. Next to him, the man attended the huge classic car auction in Scottsdale and returned with a custom auto with twelve cylinder, six carburetors and all stainless steel. He sent it off in a trailer to his winter home. The auction brought in over 40 million dollars.

This has been an unusual winter this year. It has been colder (for AZ , in the 50s and 60s) and wetter (we had over half the year’s total rainfall in January alone). We are finally having our usual weather, about 76 today and a gorgeous sunny day. Of course, we plan to leave for awhile and go on a local bus tour down just across the border into Mexico. We will be at Puerto Penasco for three days and two nights. We thought it would be a good break.

We continue to improve our health. Zoe has her vertigo and dizziness under control with her limited salt intake. They found that I have severe sleep apnea and I am now on a breathing machine at night. It is thought this might be part of the trigger for my heart concerns. I am slated for an operation on my right knee in March after our cruise in the eastern Caribbean on the five-masted clipper ship. This is the knee with the replacement that has turned in so much that it throws off my back and hips and affects my ability to walk. I will be taking the walker with us on the trip to Mexico and on the cruise. Hopefully, after the operation, I won’t need to use it as much.
