QZ - Mar 2nd - 5th

Mar 2, Friday
Made a trip to Parker for something to do. Skip & Kathy are coming for a visit and we are going to play golf at Parker so tried to make a tee time. They are booked up for a week - only EARLY times or so late that you might not be able to play all 18. We went to the course to see if we could do any better in person and they said we could probably get a decent time on Saturday if we called early tomorrow.
Went to the casino, had dinner and headed home.

Mar 3, Saturday
Dull windy day - pretty much just TV, laundry and pinochle. I set the alarm for 6 this morning so I could call the golf course for a tee time. Skip and Kathy will be coming on Friday and stay until Monday.

Mar 4, Sunday
Trip to Yuma today. As I said before, we are having to go further for things to do - Yuma is 81 miles from here.
We had some shopping to do - shoes for Terry and a jacket for me. I have to nag Terry to get him to shop for shoes so he was very surprised and pleased to find 2 pairs at Kohls (first store that we went to) for a reasonable price. I needed a jacket as I washed mine and the lining shredded. Not many stores in Yuma carry jackets at this time of year but I found one at Ross so we did well with our shopping list. Then a trip to Walmart and Paradise Casino. We had a gift certificate for Applebees so we had a nice early dinner and got back about 6:30. Then I spent a couple of hours on the phone catching up with some friends.
It was windy all day. It gets very dusty in Yuma when the wind blows as there are so many cultivated fields.

Mar 5, Monday
Back to quiet! It was windy again most of the day. It did get very warm. Our door and awning face west and by the time you want shade, the sun is down so far that the awning does not provide shade. So we move the truck beside the mat and sit in the shade of the truck.
