5th Wheel Movers

Tuesday Hal moved a 5th wheel for someone down the street over to the next street, the guy did not have the blocks for under the jacks, so he put cement blocks and bricks under them. Of course the weight of the 5th wheel put cracks in the blocks. So the guy went out yesterday to get wood and Hal went over and hooked it back up to the truck to lift it off the cement and put the wood under the jacks.
Today we went to the park we were in last year and moved a friend's 5th wheel over to the lot beside us. She isn't here yet, but she was paying for 2 spaces, doesn't make sense, so we moved it before she comes down from Oregon.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, so we can stay in and relax, a little drink, shrimp, cheese and crackers to ring in the New Year.
Happy New Year to all!!!

Rock and Roll City

I bet everyone thinks that New York or Cleveland is Rock and Roll City, but today, Yuma was. We were at the laundromat when an earthquake occurred. It actually happened somewhere along the California and Mexico border, and they have happened before, but this is the first one we have felt. Kind of a strange feeling. I was sitting down and thought maybe someone had a washer that was out of balance causing the vibration, but soon realized what it was, we also felt an after shock. It was 5.9 on the Riechter (sp.?) scale.

Christmas Morning

Kids are the same no matter what species. Hobbes was into the presents during the night, and very anxious to open his presents when morning came.

He got a wooly mouse stuffed with catnip and some special cat food. As you can tell he loves the mouse.

Merry Christmas

A very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to everyone who reads this. Our Christmas day will be cool but hopefully sunny. I am coking dinner for us, rather than go to a pot luck or a restaurant. It will be just H, Hobbes, and I. We hope that where ever you are, the season is all that you hope for and you will be surrounded by family and friends.

House of Illness

Of course, H got sick, too. I am over the sneezing and constantly sniffling, H has that now. I just kept coughing to the point I was having rib pain, so I started a Z-Pack yesterday. I feel better except now I have stomach upset from the antibiotics. H had a fever yesterday, but none today. Hope he doesn't get the cough like I have. He can sleep when I am coughing because he is hard of hearing. I am a light sleeper, so if he coughs, I don't sleep. We both feel well enough to go out, but get light headed at times. I think that is from the fatigue.
Cannot believe that it is one week until Christmas. We decided we are going to stay in for Christmas, I am cooking. We will be going home in January for a belated Christmas with our family.

Ballet and Country

The lights we put up a before the wind made put the awning up, the lights are now just on the Moose. We haven't put the awning back down, yet. Just enjoying the sun coming in the door.Below is the a picture of the Ballet Yuma's program for the "Nutcracker" , which we went to Friday evening. It was very good.

Of course the other picture is of Dierks Bentley, we went to his concert at the Q on Saturday evening. He put on quite a show. Of course I would have enjoyed everything more if I wasn't ill. I caught a cold last week, spent all day Friday in bed, chilling and running a fever, I still went to the ballet. Saturday, no fever, but still felt horrible, couldn't miss the concert, though. I think I am getting bronchitis, need to break out the antibiotics.
Hope no one caught this cold from me.

Windy

Monday evening we just about got blown away. We had not heard on the weather about any high winds, but they came. Our awning was out with Christmas lights on it, it was strapped down tight, but after about an hour of wind gusts up 50MPH, the straps kept loosening. We got our neighbors, Rob and Patty to help us put the awning up. It took all of us to do it, the wind was so strong and kept blowing sand and gravel at us. We did get it put up safely, but yesterday we had to wash everything outside as they were covered with spotted dirt and sand. The truck will get washed today, all the car washes had terrible lines yesterday.
Yesterday was sunny, as is today, it is still cool, but as long as the sun is out life is good.

Welcome Back Party

We went with some of our neighbors to Los Algondones,Mexico on Saturday for their welcome back festival they have for winter visitors. They had free entertainment, free food and drinks. Only thing was, it was freezing in the morning, 42 degrees and breezy. It did get up to about 63, but the sun was mostly obscured by clouds, so it never felt warm. It was fun, but we waited 1 hour and 15 minutes to get back across the border.
Today is cloudy, cool, and has rained a little.
