Aloha Days

 Yuma, Arizona               High 88 Low 54

The weather here has been very variable. Hot, then cooler with lots of wind. Today it is supposed to start getting warmer with the weather guessers saying 98 by next Friday.

Our Park put on our annual play days. This year it was called Aloha Days. Everyone was supposed to dress in Hawaiian clothing. 

They started out with a march of the different groups to an area of the Park, where the different groups competed in various games, with the games the next day finishing up at the swimming pool, with water games. As always, there was a lot of participation and food.

The object of this game was to carry the balloon between their legs to their team-mate and then sit on the balloon until it popped. A lot of squirming was involved.

 

Everyone enjoyed the Aloha Days, both the participants and the spectators.

And I have been taking Penny to Yappy Hour most afternoons. She won't let me forget that it is time to go. 

I usually go with our Neighbor, and one day we took Penny, her dog Issie, and two dogs, whose owners weren't available to go.

It was fun trying to hold 4 dogs on the golf cart, but we made it alright.

While we were there, Issie got cold for a while.

One day Carla knew she wasn't going to be able to stay, so she dropped Issie off at the small dog park. I had ridden my bike with Penny in her bag. Carla was late getting back, so I put Penny and Issie in the bag and took them home. Fortunately they are both small, about 6 pounds each, and they both were good in the bag, so we had no problem getting them home.

Thanks for visiting.

Lots Going On

 Yuma, Arizona      High 95 Low 62

I guess when it comes to weather, you better be careful what you wish for. First it got windy and cold, and then, very hot and miserable for this time of year.

There has been a lot going on this last week. We had our annual Can-Am Parade with all the golf carts decorated and later in the week, we had two quilt shows.

First, the Parade.

 

At the end of the parade there were games, which I missed, but we had a visitor watching. 

Some of the people said the owl turned around and looked at them, but I never saw that.

Later in the week, we had two quilt shows at two different Parks, One Friday, and one Saturday.

We both thought this was an interesting way to Quilt.

Then last night, we had our Parks annual Owners Ball. They have an elegant meal with entertainment following. The food was very good, as was the singer.

Thanks for visiting.

Cold For Yuma

 Yuma, Arizona          High 81 Low 47

If you look at the above temperatures, They don't look much from normal. This last week we had lots of wind and highs of about 64 for three days. The weather guessers said with the wind it felt like 54, which really is cold for here. But now the same weather guessers say we are going to have temperatures into the 90's, which will feel quite warm. I guess we are never satisfied. At least we are not back in Utah, where winter finally has come with all the snow.

I have been playing shuffle board three times a week. Cindy goes to her walk-fit and chair- yoga and is still making lots of quilts. This coming week, we have quilt shows at two different Parks. 

Yesterday we had a large street party with musicians. It lasted for a couple of hours with lots of appetizer's and visiting. 

Today there will be a Can-Am parade and then games after, which will be fun. More about that next time.

Thanks for visiting.
