Crash

On a not too happy note, our neighbors house was crashed into today. The house is at the end of a T, but the car just went straight on thru. It appeared that the driver may have had a stroke. I think he was not hurt in the crash. It doesn't show up real well here but the house was hit too, and damaged most of the kitchen. This is so sad, the house is new.

Xmas time in Yuma

All the snowbirds in Yuma sure know how to have a good time. There is a fun parade of decorated ATV's, golf carts, or whatever that goes around a portion of the Foothills area. We were seated down the street from the "Christmas Tree Lane" which we went down after the parade. This was made even more enjoyable with some Boomer friends.









Another fun get together, oh yes it has to do with food. We met the Casino Q for the 2 for 1 lunch buffet.

Kings Canyon and Sequoia Nat'l Pks

We are already enjoying our smaller rig , the camper. It's great getting into places like these parks we've been passing by each year.

Lassen Nat'l Park

This is out of order but I didn't have my adapter for the camera to computer for awhile as I forgot to bring it in the camper. If that makes any sense. But since it's my memories(my blog) I need to include this as when I get old and feeble I can read this.

Yuma

This is actually the second large Happy Hour we've attended. We have also gotten together with friends for Pegs and Jokers, met the gang for lunch (2 for $10.00)at the new Casino, did the Wed. movie $4.00 with free popcorn. Shopped the Market place, hit lots of garage sales oh and Jim plays Pickleball M-F every morning. I stay home and enjoy the sunshine on the patio. It has been blissfully sunny usually in the 70's. I have no photos as I keep forgetting my camera. We have Ken Marler to thank for this one. Thank you Ken!

Lunch at Giusti's on the Sac. Delta

Off for a day on the Sacramento Delta. This is one of the free ferry's.

Lunch was so good at Giusti's. There are about 6 choices for the day $11.50 includes soup, bread and wine. The soup and side are served family style. Try it! You won't be disappointed. And it's always twice as good with friends like Carol and Ron.
Check out the hats on the ceiling.........

Oceanside CA

Our good friends Ken and Chris in their new apt. in Oceanside Ca

Our good friends Ken and Chris are currently living in an apt. in Oceanside. They had been fulltime RV'ers for 11 years and have decided to make a change. We met them in 2002 our first year of retirement. This is what has been so rewarding in RVing, making friends in various places around the country and meeting up again.

What fun camping on the beach at the Oceanside Harbor Marina. I ask you "Doe's it get any better?"
