Another early morning as we do our rounds. Love to watch the sunrise.
Interesting camera opportunities.
Got a good picture of a grasshopper. Google Lens says it is a pallid-winged grasshopper. Fun fact: The behavior of the pallid-winged grasshopper is apparently determined by temperature with foraging occurring at temps of 75-90 and mating at 86-104. With our current HOT weather, I figure these little critters are in their glory these days. LOL 😉
Bev Carte captured a good picture of a road runner.
Thanks, Bev!
Dora Rocha hard at work washing the signs and statues throughout the park.
Dora and her crew do an excellent job of keeping our resort looking its best.
**PERSONAL NOTE: I must tell you an amazing story Don and I experienced yesterday.
Our Samsung refrigerator (8 years old) sprung a leak. Water trickled down the back of the unit causing an ice build up in the bottom of the freezer. We called a couple appliance repair (including our favorite: Jeff's Appliance Repair) but they weren't doing any non-essential repairs due to Covis. So we managed to live with the ice until the bottom drawer would no longer open. We started shopping (on line) for a new refrigerator.
I pulled out the paperwork from our original purchase. We bought it at the old Sears store when it was still here in town. There was a big ad for maintenance so out of desperation & curiosity, we tried contacting their website. Lo and Behold: A big service site opened. We just clicked on the refrigerator icon, entered the repair needed from their list, clicked the first available date, and a reply came in saying someone would be here that very same afternoon!!
Sure enough, a gent showed up at the door, took one look at the machine, diagnosed what was wrong, gave us a repair price, did the work, and was gone in about an hour. AWESOME!! Based on what we experienced, I can recommend going to that site for any kind of service repair. He also offered an appliance insurance contract which we declined, but it sounded like an okay offer.
We also enjoyed visiting with the tech. His name is Mirsad. He is originally from Bosnia and has been doing appliance repair his entire life. Very interesting and friendly person. I'm going to write to Sears Corporate and tell them how pleased we are with their surprisingly wonderful customer service.
P.S. Repair price was $333.61 which seemed very fair considering Mirsad had to drive over an hour to get to Casa Grande. It sure beats the price of a new machine!

Do you suppose someone named Kat is waiting for me to come out of the bathroom??
