Nov 29th to Dec 1st - Imperial Dam to Yuma

Nov 29th - Sun - Imperial Dam
Dave & Margo went to church in Yuma so we puttered around and visited with neighbors. I spent some time getting a hummingbird out of our rig. He kept flying right up to the ceiling and could not find the door to get out. I gently used a fly swatter and a hat to try to move him down but it did not work. He got tired and perched quite a few times. He finally landed on the shower rim, I placed a hat over him and then slid my hand under the edge of the hat and picked him up. I showed the bird to Terry & the neighbors - so they would believe me? - and let him go. This was the second hummingbird to fly into the open door so we think they were attracted by the red water pump light. We kept the screen closed after that.
When D&M returned we decided it was a good day to go for a drive and get a date shake. Terry does not like dates but he took a sip of my shake and ordered one. Wrong! He didn’t end up drinking very much.
We each had chicken to cook for dinner so we got together with shared salads. It gets quite cool as soon as the sun goes down (just after 6) so we ate inside and then shared some photos with D&M.
The Greycup football game was played today. Our Canadian neighbors could not get a score so we turned on the computer and got a play-by-play website. Terry kept going to their window next door whenever we got an update. Saskatchewan led the whole game (one Canadian couple is from Sask) and then shot themselves in the foot with a “too many player” penalty on the next to last play which let Montreal try a second field goal and win. When Terry reported this to our neighbors, they closed the window and pulled down the blind!

Nov 30th - Mon - Imperial Dam
I introduced Dave & Margo to breakfast sandwiches made with Sandwich Thins which are great, thin “buns” that you can use for hamburgers with all the trimmings and still get your mouth around them.
Then we had to get some exercise so we walked to a boondocking area, checked out the desert golf course and returned by the edge of a lake. Dave’s GPS reported that we walked just over 4 miles. While we were walking, we saw military planes climbing above us and skydivers coming down.
We had to refresh ourselves with beer & a snack and then got out their Ladder Golf game. After a couple of games we had to take a break while Dave & Terry figured out how to secure the legs to the uprights. Don’t know how the women let the men win the most games!!
We planned dinner (polish sausages) around having a real fire on the beach. Before we finished, the wild donkeys were wandering around the campsite and letting us know they were there with their hee-haws.

Dec 1st - Tues - to Yuma AZ
Jelly biscuits and a final cup of coffee with Dave & Margo this morning. Left about 10:15 for the long (23.6 miles) drive to Cocopah Golf & RV Resort on the west side of Yuma. We had a wonderful surprise when we got here - cousin Pat & her husband Rick directing us into a parking spot at the office! They will be here for the whole month.
I did some much needed cleaning as we set up & fixed some lunch. Then we joined Rick & Pat on a shopping trip - RV repair (they need an awning replaced), WalMart, fuel and a thrift shop for Pat & I while we waited (unsuccessfully) for Rick to get a chiropractic treatment.
Then another lovely treat - Pat made a great steak dinner for us! Their spot is not far from us so we can walk or bike there easily.
The weather was beautiful today. When we left Squaw Lake, the water was perfectly still so I took a bunch of pictures as we drove trying to get a good reflection shot.
