Yuma, Arizona High 81 Low 46
We finally made it to Yuma. It has been very pleasant during the day and cools off a lot as soon as the sun goes down. Today is supposed to be even warmer.
We have spent the last week working hard to get things in order and we had a remodel project. When we got here, our whole lot looked like this:
We also had a dead Palm Tree, which has been dead for two years. I cut it down and asked landscaping to haul it away which I found out is a big NO, NO. I was supposed to ask the architectural committee for permission to cut it down, and then it had to be cut into 50 pound pieces and hauled to the front of out lot for them to haul it away. The major problem I have with this is: Why do I need permission to cut down a dead tree from our own lot? It's not like we rent, we OWN. Oh, well, enough ranting.
We got our grand daughter, Teesa's Nightmare Before Christmas quilt finished before we left and delivered it to her. Cindy designed it from a pattern she already had.
We tried to used every piece of the material and used most of it in the back. She was surprised that we got it finished so quick, she hadn't expected it until we got back in the spring.
Cindy also had me do another quilt using the same patterns as the quilt before the one for Teesa.
On the way here we took a picture of the gas prices in Needles, California. I'm always amazed at why anyone would pay that price for fuel, when three miles across the river in Arizona Gas is so much less, regular is 2.89 per gallon.
Over $2.00 per gallon cheaper.
Friday evening, we were invited to a welcome back party at our neighbors. I think they said they had 15 people.
Her actual Birthday was a month ago, and she told her daughter that it was a nice birthday, but she sure wished her Palms family could have been there. Last night she got her wish. It was a Happy 80th Birthday for a really nice neighbor.
Thanks for visiting.
