Dec 30th to Jan 1st - Yuma

Dec 30th - Wed - Yuma
We had a little surprise late this morning - an earthquake. I was inside and heard a rumble before the rig started moving. Terry was outside, saw the rig shaking and wondered what the heck I was doing in there! We were both outside and did not feel a smaller quake shortly after. It was centered southwest of us in Mexico so there was no or very little damage in this area.
A nice day for golf with P&R. Claude & Val joined us outside for happy hour at P&R’s so this time we got to use their buddy burner. Their tin is quite large and the slight breeze was making a great swirling design with the flame. Home for dinner.

Dec 31st - Thurs - Yuma
We and P&R went out for breakfast this morning and then went shopping. Pat really wanted to kayak down the river but it was too windy.
We purchased the last of the crab at Albertson’s and got together for New Year’s Eve dinner. The park had a dinner/dance but we decided to do our own thing. After dinner, we set up the card table and played Hand & Foot Canasta. The guys won the first 3 hands but Pat & I had a good 4th hand and ended up winning by 200 points.
We glimpsed some fireworks at 10 (the older folks at the dance celebrated New Year’s at Eastern time), another batch at 11 and I listened, from bed, to a longer batch at midnight - maybe from the casino.

Jan 1st - Fri - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We rode our bikes to pick up our mail and stopped to see Charlie & Julie on the way back. Back to the rig for a late breakfast before a 12:23 tee time with P&R.
There were 3 groups of not very good players ahead of us so it was slow going. Sunny with a breeze increasing to wind sometimes. We finally got frustrated (slow play) and cold enough to quit in the middle of the 18th hole after 4 ½ hours.
Our place for happy hour and then P&R’s for dinner and cards. In the interest of fair reporting, I must say that the women beat the men again in another close game.
