How long will you be in Quartzsite? My single RVers group, the WINs will be there in January. If you'd like to meet up with them, email me and I will send you the itinerary.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547530703319496195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-86964251094974790162011-12-08T15:20:55.781-07:002011-12-08T15:20:55.781-07:00Hi, Just received this e-mail and do not know if ...Hi, Just received this e-mail and do not know if this is something you would be interested in.<br />Sheila :)<br />=======================<br /><br />Everyone’s invited to the first Good Sam Rally of 2012 at Phoenix International Raceway, March 22–25. Presented by DISH Network, the Arizona event combines all things RV, from scores of RV seminars to hundreds of RV accessories to row after row of brand new RVs on display, and, of course, thousands of happy campers. This is the place to brush up on your RV driving skills, talk shop with RV experts and even test-drive a new motorhome on the Phoenix racetrack. <br /><br />The Rally’s spectacular lineup of nighttime stage shows begins with a bang as John "Bowzer" Bauman, from ’50s nostalgia band Sha Na Na, gets the party started on opening night with toe-tappin’ golden oldies. On Friday, one of America’s most beloved comedians and all-time great performers, the iconic Bill Cosby, takes to the stage to share the wit, wisdom and humor of a lifetime. On Saturday, Grammy-nominated Platinum recording artist Martina McBride combines old-time honkytonk with progressive country folk in a feel-good performance that’s sure to make you smile. Closing night features the triumphant return of Ticket to Ride, the electrifying Beatles tribute band that had the 2007 Rally crowd on their feet singing along to favorite Fab Four tunes. <br /><br />For a tail-wagging good time, Rally-goers can have their RV pups strut their paws in our ninth annual dog show and parade, aptly named "Desert Dogs." Pets play musical chairs and vie for best biscuit balance and silliest pet trick. Don’t miss the hilarious swimsuit competition and the dog-and-owner look-alike contest—now that’s entertainment! <br /><br />And don’t miss out on the chance to ramp up your driving skills at the RV Safe Driver Training Program. This class not only trains RVers to be better drivers, in some cases it can even save money on RV insurance. The six-hour session increases driver awareness, identifies bad habits and helps with RV handling so graduates of the class can get behind the wheel with confidence and expertise. <br /><br />To get the latest Good Sam Rally information and register for the greatest event in RVing, visit TheRally.com or call 800-701-1399. All-inclusive prices for the four days start at only $189 per rig, entitling you to the entire Rally experience. It’s going to be a great time! <br /><br />We hope to see you in the pits in Phoenix!Sheila ~ INUA Kennelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763824729121906271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-452260265278572352011-12-08T12:12:05.710-07:002011-12-08T12:12:05.710-07:00I would like to suggest that the squirrel is one o...I would like to suggest that the squirrel is one of the numerous types of Western Chipmunks, looking and acting very similar to Eastern and other Chipmunks.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipmunk<br /><br />GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-47519680128078842552011-12-08T11:50:12.788-07:002011-12-08T11:50:12.788-07:00I LOVE ur posts!

You didn't disappoint. <br />Here in NYC those squirrels are chipmunks. They are super cute. Almost as cute as Katie but not quite! <br />Oh I love those late night bonfires. Here they don't have them . What a shame. I bet Katie even though shes confused must sense all the emotions that are being passed around. And bonfires relax everyone...maybe even Katie so she fell asleep early.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452313949065961685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-66069245903560070642011-12-06T16:15:26.383-07:002011-12-06T16:15:26.383-07:00Love that picture of Katie up on the bed!

Where I am (North Texas) we have not seen quail in probably 5 years. Many say it is due to fire ants devouring the eggs. :( <br />thank you for sharing with us!<br />--JoolJools from N.
