Monday, January 9, 2012 We made the move from Yuma, AZ to Winterhaven, CA. This was a short drive, about 25 minutes. It was so nice to have a short drive. We are here for two weeks.
We got parked right next to a couple of friends (Duke & Donna) we made three years ago. We will be with them a few days at three different resorts. They are from British Columbia, Canada. Visited for awhile when we got here and then had "Happy Hour" with them and some other couples later. They knew I had been sick and wondered how I was. I told them I felt a little weak in the afternoon. Duke said I probably didn't have enough wine in my system and he'd take care of that at Happy Hour. LOL
Temperature was in the low 70's, but very sunny.

Sunday, January 8, 2012. I have forgotten to mention that we went to see the movie "War Horse". This is a must see movie. It was excellent. Longer movie than normal, about 2-1/2 hours. Sure got your monies worth.
The theater we were in had a capacity of 419 people. This place had more people than we've seen in a theater in years. We guessed maybe 300+. I had a lady next to me that I helped during the movie --- she needed a tissue. So take a tissue with you.

Sunday, January 8, 2012 Yesterday was a quiet day. We had the trailer washed. There is a Mexican group that only charges $35.00 to wash the trailer. They do a good job. Our trailer sat outside for awhile the fall so it wasn't clean when we left home. Bob doesn't get on the roof when he washes the trailer, they did. He wishes we had these people in our area to wash the trailer.
Went out to Jessica's favorite restaurant last night. Golden Corral, this is normally a good restaurant. It is a buffet restaurant. OMG what a zoo it was last night. But we got full and that is what we went there for.
Today was terribly windy, probably more than gust of 30 mph. So didn't do much today. Watched U of M Men's basketball game and Bob watched some football play-offs.
We move tomorrow to Winterhaven, that is just across the Colorado from Yuma, AZ. We will be moving into Pacific Time Zone. But the campground there goes by Mountain time, they know must of their people shop and do things in Yuma, so they stay on the same time zone so there is less confusion.

Friday, January 6, 2012. We are in what they call the Winter Vegetable Capitol of the world. Yuma, Arizona.
We arrived here in Wednesday. I haven't had a good connection since arriving here. So today it is finally working okay for now. I am in the laundry room, seems my connection is better in this part of the resort.
The weather here is unusually warm for January. That is great news. We have had 74 - 79 degrees since we got here. Suppose to have really windy weather tomorrow. But we are staying here until Monday morning. Tomorrow we will have our trailer washed. They go around to the different resorts and campground. Only cost $35.00 to do the trailer. Seen them around last year. They do a good job.
Well I think the clothes are ready to go into the dryer.

In this part of the country they have big ditches that they fill with water from a well. The fields are big and divided into samller fields. When they need the plants watered they open the flood gates to the field. This in turn fills a 6" - 8" deep trench between each row. As you can see the water coming down these rows. The fields are all leveled with leveling equipment.
