NOV 25, WEDNESDAY; A day
of rest
Windy
once again and the temperature is getting cooler; the forecast is for cooler
temperature for the rest of the week! Val
checked my wound this morning and all seems well except for my hair being
matted in dry blood. A shower soon fixed
most of that. This was a reading
day. We went for a long walk but it was
too windy and dusty to do anything else.
A day of rest!
NOV 26, THURSDAY; HAPPY
THANKSGIVING (USA) WITH FRIENDS
The
wind is gone and it is cloudy with sunny periods and cooler still than
yesterday. Today, I replaced the screen
on the large living room window and did a couple of little repairs in the
house. Val spent most of the afternoon
cooking a dish for the dinner tonight.
At 3:30 pm, we left for Dennis and Ruth’s place in Yuma, near the
airport. Ed & Judy and Reg &
Sharon were already there when we arrived.
We sat around to chat then more friends of Ruth and Dennis showed
up. We proceeded to do justice to the
turkey that Judy cooked and the ham that Ruth cooked and all the fixings. Everyone had shared in preparing the meal and
it was delicious! We had lots of laughs
and good music then R&D’s neighbours came over. We had a great time and came home by 11
pm. We really appreciate and Love our
friends from home!
NOV 27, FRIDAY; Visit with
Charlene and Lynden
Cloudy
and cooler but no winds as of 9 am! We
drove to the Foothills in Yuma to shop for some needed items and to pick up
wine for the Kirkby’s. We then drove to
the YUMA PROVING GROUNDS and to IMPERIAL DAM where they are spending the winter
in the BML lands. Once again, I forgot
to take pictures but they are very well set up with a small wall made of scrap
plywood and Lynden made a cooking corner and a fire pit area. They have a very nice view of the lake
created by the Dam and the surrounding mountains. Charlene cooked a huge and delicious pasta
meal with chunks of chicken and sauce and Lynden cooked bacon bits and green
beans on the BBQ. We finished it
all!!! Afterwards, their neighbours,
Mike and Donna whom we met before, came over and we had a fire. It was great and we had a fantastic
visit. We came home via a different and
shorter route and were in bed by 10 pm.
A great day indeed!
NOV 28, SATURDAY; Laundry
day!
Sunny
but cold this morning; 39*F (5*C) and windy once again. Not much happened today. Val did laundry, I watched some college
football, dealt with Verizon trying to set up an account and talking to those
people on the call line is like talking to a five-year-old! Anyway, I had to drive to town to finally settle
the whole thing and picked up milk and chips at the grocery store. Came home and Val cooked left over ham and
squash then we watched a couple movies on the Tube.
NOV 29, SUNDAY; visits
friends
Sunny
and very LITTLE WIND!!! Val went for a
morning walk and Tai-Chi while I got myself showered and ready to go out. We went to Home Depot to get a green outdoor
carpet (for Mexico) then we went to Jack and Mim’s place in the Foothills, on
the East side of Yuma. We had a great
visit with them then at 5pm, we went to LYN’s Chinese buffet and I proceeded to
get my fix on Chinese food. We came and
watched “Madam Secretary” and the “Good Wife”.
To bed early!
NOV 30, MONDAY; Another
month gone by!
Sunny
and no winds this morning; 46*F (8*C) at 9 am.
I washed the windows in both the Beaver and the Jeep then I hooked up
the REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) filters to our water system and filled half the water
tank (50 gallons) then switched it to regular filtering. Val spent most of the day at the clubhouse
doing puzzle and I had a snooze. In the
evening, we watched a couple of recorded shows then to bed
