May 5th to 7th - Yuma to Parker

May 5^th – Tues

We stopped at the casino for breakfast and a little slot play again before my 11 o'clock appointment at the dentist. Yet another young lady popped the temporary crown off, did a bit of scraping to clean up the post and then out came the needle. I asked why numbing was needed and she said they have to get the crown way down in the gum which they proceeded to do so with all the equipment bumping on my sore mouth. It ended up taking an hour to complete.

We stopped again at the casino on the way back to return a bit of money that we took with us this morning!

We went to WalMart for a few items, stopped at Best Buy to see if they sell charging cables for FitBits – we left ours behind and no they don't carry them!!! - and headed back for R&R and an early dinner.

May 6^th – Wed

We have another problem with my passport. All completed passports are sent by FedEx and require the signature of the person who the passport belongs to. We are going to have to return to Mesa to take delivery of the passport! The latest passport pictures have not been delivered yet and we have to hang around somewhere so we decided to go to Parker for a week.

We stopped for lunch in Parker and then set up in La Paz County campground on the Colorado River where we have stayed previously. We spent part of the afternoon at the casino and then shopped at WalMart. My mouth is still sore but a nice cold drink soothes it somewhat!

May 7^th – Thurs

We had discussed going golfing early this morning but Terry said the decision was mine and I chose not to go. We were quite happy with that decision when the wind really picked up about 7:30. Also, who would think that you could end up with sore muscles in your leg from a dental appointment? On Monday when I was in the chair so long, my leg cramped really badly and of course I couldn't tell anyone and couldn't do anything about it so the calf muscle has been very sore.

After the usual morning putzing around and then lunch, we returned to town. We had to go back to WalMart as a cable that we bought yesterday had a defective connector. Then it was back to the casino to take advantage of free play for seniors and to see if we could add to our small winnings from yesterday. Nope!! We drove around to find an RV supply store to get a bubble level and came back.

The wind got even stronger in the late afternoon & evening. We did take a walk around the park but otherwise stayed inside watching TV (get lots of cable channels), doing computer stuff and otherwise being lazy.
