A Surprise visit in Green Valley

  What a nice surprise. Our friends Bill and Cheryl whom we met in Abbeville LA last year were coming to Green Valley to visit his brother. Well not being too far away we made arrangements to get together. His brother Paul and sister-in-law Mary Margaret had us over for a wonderful lunch. What’s better then seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Casa Grande AZ

We arrived on the 2nd of Jan. to our lot in Casa Grande. We have owned it for 6years which we have been renting out. We'll be staying the next 3 months give or take a few short trips. This year it's just what I need to recuperate from tendinitis in both ankles. The weather has been fantastic and the sunsets spectacular.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

NEW YEARS DAY WAS CELEBRATED BY AN EXCEPTIONALLY DELICIOUS BRUNCH.

WE BROUGHT THE NEW YEAR IN WITH A BON FIRE, SINGING, AND OF COURSE HUGS AND KISSES!

Typical Boomer Day

We started the morning with a caravan to the Graffiti field east of Bart. With only one minor detour we finally found it. After gazing upon the art work some went four wheeling while the rest of us went to the Imperial Date Farm for tamales and date shakes.

Ah food. Again!

Then of course Happy Hour is a must.

This wonderful view is out our back window. Ain't life grand.

Christmas Day

Christmas afternoon was spent at our friends Dan and Jenny's home along with other good Boomer friends Jan and Chuck. We enjoyed a few games of Pegs & Jokers, then had our meal of ham, yams, potatoes, salad and dessert! We followed this up with a gift exchange which had us all laughing as we took away coveted gifts from one another. Thank you Dan and Jenny for having us over.

Christmas Morning in Yuma

The night before Christmas Santa was busy looking for the fireplace to scoot down to leave his gifts as we had been a good girl and boy all year long. He must have squeezed through the heat register as our stockings were full upon our waking! Christmas is magic at any age.

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.
