Mar 21st to 24th - Yuma

Mar 21 - Fri - Yuma
I finally posted my blog this morning before we all headed for the Arizona Marketplace again. We looked through some used RVs before going into the market so Pat could buy a metal lizard wall hanging that she had seen on a previous trip. We went to a WalMart for some groceries, dropped them off at the rigs and then headed to Quiznos for lunch.
The weather is continuing warm so we all headed to the pool to cool down. We went our separate ways for dinner for a change and I enjoyed a long phone call with Bill & Georgia.

Mar 22nd - Sat - Yuma
I got up early this morning to make my Danish Puff pastry for breakfast. It has to cook for an hour so I had it in the oven at just after 7 and then went back to bed for a while. I threw a load of sheets in the washer and hemmed the second pair of Terry’s new shorts before making breakfast. Felt like I accomplished something!
We and Rick & Pat went touring. We went to Imperial Dam, Martinez Lake and the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge. They are all located off I-95 north of Yuma. There is a large RV park and mobile home community (Hidden Shores) at Imperial Dan - we were all surprised to see it there, basically in the middle of nowhere. We went on a 1.3 mile self-guided walk in the Wildlife Refuge. It was very warm but there was a nice breeze and we carried water so it was comfortable and very enjoyable. Terry spotted some lizards which made Pat’s day.
We hit the pool again when we got back. There were very few people there, guess they were all doing Easter things. We relaxed in our air-conditioned RV while I used the internet to find a Chinese food restaurant. One restaurant (Gene’s Restaurant) had a good review so we went there for dinner. Much to my relief (since I picked the place!), the food was very good.
I chatted a bit with our neighbors from Gig Harbor, WA when we got back and then joined Terry at Rick & Pat’s for a bit.

Mar 23rd - Sun - Yuma - HAPPY EASTER!
Terry washed the truck this morning as it was pretty dirty after our drive yesterday. I helped with the windows and inside and then we went to the grocery store. We enjoyed the swimming pool again and then joined Rick & Pat for a drink and a wonderful turkey dinner prepared by Pat - I didn’t have to do anything! I even cheated and bought “Dibs” ice cream bites for dessert rather than making something.
I sneaked in a load of laundry between the pool and dinner. The RV park is long & narrow and there is one washer & dryer in a rec building right behind us. So it is really easy to just throw in a load.

Mar 24th - Mon - Yuma
We all played golf again this morning. We had an 8:37 tee time so it did not get too hot before we finished at 10:30. I had a great first 9 (35) and Terry had a super back 9 (32) - keep in mind that this is a par 3 course! I did get the only birdie!
Pat invited us for turkey buns for lunch (great!) and then we had to go cool off in the pool again. Terry, Pat & I went for a visit to the Paradise Casino before dinner. I finally won some money and just before we left, Terry won and ended up ahead as well.
I made turkey enchiladas (turkey compliments of Pat) for all of us for dinner. I may have said this before but - we do eat well! Rick & Pat stayed to watch “Dancing with the Stars” and then headed home.
