Jan 13th to 15th - Yuma

Jan 13th - Wed - Yuma
Terry had to go get a part to fix the holding tank handle so Marg & I went for a bike ride. We stopped for a chat with Karen & Bob and ended up riding 3 miles before getting back at the same time as Terry.
Terry spent a couple of hours under the rig and finally got the handle to work. I was the “gofer” and Marg enjoyed reading her book in the sunshine.
We had a very late lunch and then Marg & I went for a walk to get water and show Marg the park facilities while Terry took a much needed shower. As we got back, Terry was walking across the fairway to have a drink with Mike & Jewel. Charlie & Julie joined Marg & I for HH just before Terry got back. The neighbors next door had some company so Terry & Charlie had to go over and visit for a bit.


Jan 14th - Thurs - Yuma
Breakfast and then off for the day. First a stop to get a haircut for Marg. Then on to the Swap Meet where we only wandered through less than half of it before it was time to go. We stopped for a light lunch and then tried to find a friend of Marg’s. The GPS got us where we needed to be but we could not find the house number that Marg had written down.
This left us some time to kill so we went grocery shopping at WalMart which made us slightly late for a dinner date at Francis & Nichole’s. The wind had been blowing all day so we sat inside to visit and have drinks & a very good dinner.

Jan 15th - Fri - Yuma
Terry packed stuff up outside this morning in preparation for a trip tomorrow to Quartzsite. It was too windy to do much else. I made a batch of seasoned pretzels and then we went to do laundry. Marg & I worked on a jigsaw puzzle while the laundry washed and then Terry returned from a couple of errands & joined Marg at the puzzle while I hung & folded clothes.
We were trying to get together for some shopping with Aunt Jessie & Ed who arrived in Yuma yesterday. We finally decided it was not going to happen when Aunt Jessie realized they had not changed their clocks when they came from CA to AZ and they were short an hour.
So Terry decided we should take Marg to another casino. I sat down at a 2 cent machine playing 48 cents and on the third spin I won $402!!! Finally! I was lucky enough to play the rest of our time there (a couple of hours) and lose only $10. Terry & Marg did not do as well.
We were all starving so we went to Lute’s Casino - a restaurant, not a casino - in old Yuma for an early dinner. Next we stopped to try to find Marg a bathing suit and then got a few groceries.
We were thinking about going to a dance here at the park but were just too lazy so watched a movie and read instead.
