Yesterday and today was kinda one of those sit back and relax days.

Yesterday morning after Bob did all the drying of the dishes and was putting them away I dried the tupperware pan that the dishes drain into. I must have turned my wrist the wrong way and maybe pinched a nerve. The pain shot from my wrist into the palm and up to the two middle fingers. I really had no use of my right hand, the fingers even tingled different times. After awhile Bob went to the grocery store to get a few items. He also came home with a right wrist brace and I wore that the rest of the day and through the night.

This afternoon it started getting much better. The fingers and palm is fine. The wrist at times hurt, but not able to lift or push much now. But much better.

We did go walk through a arts & crafts show and an RV show in Quartzsite, AZ for a couple of hours. Enjoyed coming back to the trailer and relaxing outside with our books. Bob always wants to let people know the temperature, so he said to tell you it was 71 degrees today.

We drove to Yuma, AZ this morning, going down on the Arizona side of Colorado River. It was about a two hour drive. These next three pictures are from our trip to Yuma. At one point in the south part of Yuma we were only 22 miles from Mexico. (Barbara Jean says that is just to close to Mexico). Going down we came across the Yuma Proving Grounds (Air Force) and GM Proving Grounds. Of couse you couldn't see anything. We did see a tank in the dessert, but these two grounds are back to back and we weren't sure which grounds it was on. Bob said he'd seen tanks at the Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan before, so it could have been GM's grounds.

When it was time to drive back we decided to drive back on the California side of the Colorado River. I told Bob I'd drive if he wanted me too, up to him. We already had been on this road from the north driving south and knew it was manly striaght down the road. So he got me to that road and I took over. Oh ya right, where did these mountains come from and it was like a roller coaster and around the mountains AND they tell you the speed limit is 65. Right, at that it should be 90 miles an hour on expressways. I had a car behind me -- came to a pull over to let faster traffic go by -- yup I pulled over. I told Bob I thought he was doing well with me driving this -- he said I'm find, but from my fingertips to elbow it is numb. LOL --- We made it!!! He never told me to let him drive.

We seen so many sheep and their new baby. (They weren't too old, so so little). They are turned lose on these alfalfa fields. They eat all the alfalfa until it is gone and then the field is plowed under. The sheep are then moved to another field.

They were picking head lettuce in this picture. Not sure it is close enough for you to see. These people walk with this apparatus and pick the head lettuce and put it on the conveyor belt. We have seen so many many fields of produce, such as; broccoli, onion and more onions, head lettuce, leaf lettuce, purple cabbage, and romaine lettuce.

I couldn't find anything I wanted. I still have a gift certificate for Penneys and some cash from my birthday gifts. I make sure I really want something before spending "free" money.

We decided to look up the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge. We had an address and had looked it up on mapquest. Taking our GPS we headed out. We realized after awhile that "Alice" (this is the GPS's nickname, instead of Bob's nickname for her) didn't have this address in her system. We finally seen a sign to turn this direction. So we are going the right way now. We came upon a place which way do we go. We went one way when we seen this sign, "cross at your own risk". Oh no!! This didn't sound like the way to go. Turned around went the other way -- dead end. Bob said I think we should go that other way. Needless to say I have a problem with some bridges (most I like and think they are nice), but when it says cross at your own risk -- I planted my feet and held on. Second picture was the bridge. We made it!!! I have a problem taking a golf cart across a wooden bridge. Thank goodness this wasn't wooden.

The lady at the refuge said when the old bridge had to be replaced, California and Arizona both refused to put another one in. But the farmers in the area needed a bridge there, so they paid to have a new one installed. To cover them they had to put the sign up. She told us it was quite safe. LOL
