March 21 to 24, 2012: Yuma

MAR  21, Wednesday, Yuma
A beautiful warm day in Arizona!  Val went for exercises at 9 this morning and after showering, I went out and unloaded the kayaks, set the BBQ and the dish and to make my day, as I was hooking everything and getting ready to be frustrated in finding the signal, Val yelled that we had connection at 61% signal.  WOW!  Am I good or what!??  We spent the day at home relaxing and enjoying the HOT day!  I noticed that my lockers were full of dust, probably from that wind storm we had at Puerto Penasco; everything is covered in a fine sandy dust.  We had a light dinner then Val watched the tube while I spent the evening working on our tax return.


MAR  22, Thursday, Breakfast with friends
We got up early to go to COCOPAH CASINO to meet Jack & Mim, Ed & Judy for breakfast along with friends of theirs.  We had a great visit and talked about each other’s trips and adventures.  After saying our sad goodbyes, we went shopping for groceries and dog food then came home and put everything away.  Tucker was happy to see us as we had been away 6 hours.  Temperature outside is over 90*F (30*C), dry and hot!  After dinner, we sat outside practically the whole evening and when we went to bed, it was still over 20*C
 

MAR  23, Friday, Yuma
I finally completed our income tax this morning and Val is getting a good return as usual and I got to pay, albeit a modest amount.  Val went for her exercises while I was doing the taxes.  Another sunny and hot day!  Val did laundry today and spent time in the library chatting with the ladies and doing puzzles.  I did some business on the net then read my book.  Another quiet day at home and very hot out there, over 30* again.


MAR  24, Saturday, Flea Market
After a lazy morning, we went to Yuma to the RV flea market and bought a few items to replace or repair the damage done at the border.  We spent about 2 hours there and while having lunch, we met a couple from Chilliwack of all places; their last name, Thiessen and he worked in Federal prison at Kent.  After all the shopping, we came home and took Tucker for a walk then got ready for dinner.  We called grand-daughter Hayley and wished her a Happy “18” birthday!

welcome back to the US. Sorry to hear of the mishap at the border with your rig. We are in Yuma for another week, at the Kofa Co-op( Escapees park ) starting Tuesday. We leave the Imperial Dam area then. Yes, it is hot and going to be even hotter! Sounds like you had a wonderful winter season in Mexico.
