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.

Really good day today. We got our truck back, it should be all fixed. I guess one never knows until you start pulling the trailer again.

Seeing we had wheels we went out to dinner. Our friends in the park told us about steak & shrimp dinner at the casino for $7.77. It was very good and the right price. They cater to the seniors. In fact, every day during the week (not weekends) they give anyone over 50 $10.00 on your card to play on the machine. We played after eating and came back with $32.00 more than what we took. I told Bob when we were there tonight that if they told all people to leave that is over 50 there wouldn't be anyone there except the workers. LOL

The weather was warm, but the winds were terrible so it didn't feel as warm as the temperature showed. We had Happy Hour with friends before going out to dinner.
