We had a very nice lunch today with a former classmate of Bob's, Barbara Sampier Swope and her friend chuck. Barbara's first husband was Bob's brother, Fred's, best friend in school (Joe Swope). It was very nice to visit with her and Chuck. They live here in Yuma in the winter and in Brookly/Grayling in the Summer.

Saturday, January 28, 2011 -- This is the scene out the back window of our trailer. Such a beautiful array (hope I spelled that right)of catcus plants. This blog should have a spell check to it.

Friday, January 27, 2011 -- We are in Winterhaven, CA. Very interesting - it is so close to Yuma, AZ that the campground goes on Mountain time zone, even thought we are in Pacific time zone.

The temperature here yesterday was 75 degrees, with a little breeze. Not that windy conditions we have had here. I finally got some sun.

As you will see and read we had a lot of fun yesterday.

This is Duke & Donna from British Columbia. We meant them last year in Ehrenberg, AZ. They are the ones that was looking for us to show up here in Winterhaven, CA and we didn't get her on time because of truck breakdown. So when I called to tell them we had broke down they came over the next day and brought the trailer over here. Which was about 15 miles apart.

Last night Duke & Donna rode with us and we met eight other couples at a Chinese Restaurant in Yuma. I don't normally do Chinese, but this restaurant had an assortment of food. Very good, had a great time.

Duke had arranged for entertainment during the "Happy Hour". These people are camped in the campground. Most of us hadn't meant them. Duke introduced them as a singers from Branson. LOL They are very good. Enjoyed the afternoon entertainment. Normally the happy hour starts at 3:00, but yesterday morning Duke told us to be at the Happy Hour at 2:00, he had something special.

This is our friends, Duke & Donna's dogs, Zoey and Mo. They are trained so well, these are their chairs. When you are sitting outside their trailer and they bring them outside the dogs jump up in their chair and they are all set. There is times if someone drops a snack on the ground they think they should get it. They are cute.
