Time to Get Back to Work

Again, we have moved.  This time was not far either; still in the Phoenix area.  We are parked at Wesley Community Center, right between the 2 main runways of Phoenix’ Sky Harbor Airport, and about 2 miles to the west of the end of the runways.  We moved yesterday morning and got setup before the rest of our team arrived.  Saturday was the nicest day in about a week, since the rain finally quit.  The temperatures were warm enough to sit outside but the airplanes’ noise made it hard to chat.

We will have a little work here, but most of our time will be at Golden Gate Community Center, about 7 miles away.  The two facilities have come together only recently.  For an interesting history see: http://www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/news/flourishing-in-the-desert.   We came for an introduction last week and sat in on a staff meeting.  Since they have had Nomads many times previously (maybe about 20!), they are really looking forward to our help over the next 3 weeks.  Hope we live up to their expectations!

Our motorhome is a little smaller than normal, since one of the slide-outs tried to self-destruct.  It’s the one on the passenger side in the living room area – so one of the 2 bigger slides.  Replacement parts are on order, and the dealer has us scheduled for replacement in a little over 3 weeks.  We can live with it until then.  Thank goodness for an extended warranty.

Our team for this period is made up of 4 other couples, 3 of whom are new-to-us, and we’ve worked with the 4^th couple just once – last month.  Our family of Nomads friends just keeps getting larger.
