Preparations

H has been busy getting Moose ready for our trip back, he spent all day Tuesday washing our home. I rinsed and then washed windows, but I won't climb on the top to wash it. Today he is lubricating the slide mechanisms and the seals. Then we have to clean out the basement, sweep and put everything in order for travel. We are starting early so we don't have to do everything at the end. The resort is beginning to thin out, always a few people coming in, but more are leaving. It was so warm for a few days I was wondering whether we stayed too long, but it was just unusual weather. Today is perfect, it is 70 degrees at 1230, just the way I like it.

H won at bingo again last week, that is his second win, not a lot of money but he likes to win. Yesterday he shot pool and played cards the rest of the day, while I had a manicure and pedicure, then went grocery shopping. It is a hard life!!

New Puzzle

This is a 1000 piece puzzle that measures 16.5 x 11.5 inches, the pieces are really tiny. H finally got it put together, it took him most of the week. Nikki sent it to him as a birthday present, we are going to return it to her to put together.

Sunny and Delightful!

Today has been an absolutely beautiful day, the sun is out , not a cloud in the sky, and it is warm, about 76 degrees. It has slowly gotten back to what we like about Yuma, the warmth. We have a sun shade now the drops from our awning to protect us from the harshest rays in midday. Sorry that I am making a statement like that, when I know it is only 23 in Ohio today.
We only have another month here then we leave for Texas to visit with family. GG will not be joining us there this year, she refuses to get on a plane by herself. We hope to see everyone, if they have time for us.

Chilly Day

We visited with our friends from San Diego on Friday and spent the night with them. Christa, Bart, H, and myself went to Outback for dinner Friday night, good as always. Saturday AM we went to see a rental house with them, it is on top of a hill in Escondido, from the patio you can see the ocean. Don't know if they will rent it or not, but the scenery is certainly beautiful and the area is so quiet, it is a gated community with a clubhouse, Olympic size pool, tennis courts, basketball court, workout room, and a party area.

We arrived back in Yuma Saturday PM, with the sun still shining and temps warm. We got up this AM to a slightly windy cool day, the sun disappearing behind the clouds. I was so looking forward to the warmth of Yuma after the chilly week in California. Well there is always tomorrow, at least I know we are much warmer than Ohio.

I have to say many thanks to Kinty and Sue for taking such good care of us on our first visit to San Francisco, letting us stay with them, feeding us and taking us to many sites we would have never found ourselves. We really had a good time.
