Casa Grande and WiFi finally but weak

HI all, you won't be surprised to hear that we have been very frustrated not to have Wi Fi til now, and very weak still at that.
Yesterday Feb. 7th we went into Mesa near Phoenix, about an hour north of here to visit Jan and Russ Butterfield, who are in a rented Park Model trailer up there.
We had a super swim in the park pool, and then went out to dinner at the Black Angus restaurant. Steak and prawns. Yum yum.
A very happy visit.
Our last couple of days in DHS we didn't have WiFi, then on to Ehrenberg, AZ where we also didn't have WiFi.
Another trip into Quartzsite, very near there, got a few nice jewellry supplies.
Then on to here, Casa Grande, there's a big 2 storey kiva house here, from about the 1300s or so, I believe. Then it was mysteriously vacated.
Tomorrow Monday we push off down to Tucson and into a park there, called Rincon East, for a month, which will be nice to stay in one place and get the internet
sorted out hopefully.
All well with us. We had a bunch of rain last night, we were already home, but it kept up most of the night, and this morning when I woke up it was sunny and raining still.
A pleasant break from the sun, the temps are going down somewhat, but still dry and very pleasant.
We have been in touch with our dear friends Bernice and Gordon Elderkin, who are also here in this park for a few days. They are traveling with a niece of theirs and her hubbie.
That's all for now. Hope you haven't lost interest as we haven't been posting.
Arizona has the most lovely sunsets, and a huge wide open sky. Very pretty.
It will likely be a pretty desert spring after this rain, it's nice to see the desert green, folks at breakfast this morning said there was rain in December too.
Truck is running well, and diesel is $2.05 a gallon.
Bye for now.
