Algodones and Rain

 Yuma, Arizona       High High 59 Low 56

After Nancy got here we went back to the quilt show and then took her to Grandma Jo's where she bought some southwestern fabric. 

The next day we went to the Arizona market for more fabric. Cindy only bought a little bit of fabric since we had been there two days before. We returned to grandma Jo's for some fabric for a back. 

Tuesday we went to Algodones for meds and Cindy wanted to find some side wall Mexican pots. There is a lot of construction going on and we were told it was for a new border crossing station. After getting the meds, we walked all over town before we finally found what Cindy was looking for. After some dickering, Cindy bought three of the pots. It was a good thing we had Nancy with us, because we each carried one of the pots to the border crossing and then to the car. They didn't seem that heavy until we carried them half was across Algodones and to the car.

This is fancy decorations on one of the restaurants in Algodones.

The next picture is what Cindy was looking for.

After we got home we took Nancy to a small place on the south frontage road for shrimp tacos. 

We stopped on the way back to get some aluminum straps I planned on bending to hang Cindy's pots.

I kept telling her I wouldn't be able to get them hung for a few day, but I found someone in the Park that had a vise and he helped me bent them, so I was able to get them hung.

We stopped on the way back to go to a grocery outlet store (damaged, outdated, and overstock). We found a few things and Nancy found some ice cream for a good price.

Here are the pots hanging on our wall.

Nancy left for Quartzsite the next day. It is always good to see her and we were glad to have her stay with us.

Since we never seem to have enough fabric (LOL), when Cindy found some really nice batiks at an estate sale Saturday, we had to buy more.

Yesterday and today it rained. Yesterday, not so much, but today it really poured almost all day. The grass by us and the small dog park look like lakes with lots more water going into them when I took these pictures.

I have never seen this much water in the grassy areas. They were built as retention ponds when the Park was built. It is a good thing they hold as much water as they do. so no one has flooding in their homes.

Thanks for visiting.
