First Days in Florence

We have been in Florence for a few days and have settled in and all systems are working perfectly.  We arrived last Thursday after spending a few days in Palmdale CA with Jeff, Vicki, Garret and Justin. We also met up with Bob and Leah Garrettson. who will also be at Desert Gardens.  I cannot say enough about the weather.  It has been warm days and cool nights and we are loving it.  It's hard to believe that it is November and we should be thinking about Christmas. We have checked out Florence, Coolidge and Casa Grande, each town a little bigger than the last.  Clearly, Casa Grande has more to offer in regards to shopping but Safeway and Walmart are close by.  We attended a community Pizza Party the first night we were here and met a few people.  They truly are from all over the country.  There are lots of activities.  Gary wants to check out the card games. pool tables, horse shoe pits and the woodworking shop.  There are walking trails and of course the pool and fitness room.  Also, there is a small library and crafts room.  We should be able to find something to keep us busy. Right now, just spending most of the day outside has been a real treat.
