Da Boys

 Yuma, Arizona        High 73 Low 50

We had lots of wind and rain this week. Along with all the rain, it got cold. Yesterday was a nice day, but still had wind. Today the weather is perfect.

A bunch of us went to Da Boys for dinner. the room they reserved could only handle 14 people. We had a good time visiting and the food is excellent, the same as usual.

This next picture is Ron and Anna. They are the couple that sold their fifth wheel and are currently trying to sell their lot. They live in Edmonton and Ron has told me that with his health conditions, it is just too expensive to come to Yuma any more. We will miss them.

We had what they call a lettuce wedge salad. It is half a head of lettuce with other things added. It was way more salad than we could eat, so we got to take the extra home. We also got a large pizza, and it has made several meals for us. Everyone had a good time.

Thanks for visiting.

Quilt Shows

 Yuma, Arizona      High 78 Low 46

The weather here has been quite unsettled. One day it will be like summer and the next back cold. We had strong winds for three days last week and after the sun goes down it gets cold.

We had two quilt shows to go to at two different Parks. The first Park didn't seem to have near as good of show this year, compared to other years. No where near as many entries and the number of vendors was way down. The other Park had a nice show, but again, the number of vendors was way down. 

This quilt was my favorite from both shows. It was at the second show. Most of the Pictures are from that show.

This one was also very nice.

The quilt store at the Arizona Market, Bonnies Fabrics, is closing at the end of this season and she is liquidating all supplies. Right now they are giving 40% off of everything in the store, and every time we have gone, they are really busy. This is where we buy most of our fabric, and Cindy says that after they close for good, she will probably only buy fabric at yard and estate sales. 

I think Cindy has probably made 20 quilts since we have been here since November.

Thanks for visiting.

Hobby Night and Taco Fiesta

 Yuma, Arizona       High 84 Low 49

The weather has been getting a lot warmer for this time of the year. The weather guessers are [predicting low 90s for the next few days. We have noticed that it gets cool fairly fast when the sun goes down.

Our church put on a hobby night last week. There are a lot of very talented people, and the root beer floats were good, also.

Cindy brought 4 of our quilts.

We found, what Cindy says, is a good use of used levi's. She says it is a cute apron.

Last night we went to a Taco Fiesta. There were lots of people, lots of taco's and lot of ice cream. The food was very good and we both over ate.

Thanks for visiting.

Car Show

 Yuma, Arizona  High 76 Low 47

We have had some warm days, but it got really windy for some days. The wind and dust makes it quite miserable.

Penny still has to go to Yappy Hour almost every afternoon. Some days there are in excess of 20 small dogs runny around. And if a large dog gets anywhere near to the small dog Park the intruder alert goes off and 8 or 10 of the small dogs bark at the large dog. If is fun to watch.

We had our annual Car Show here in the Park. I don't think there were quite as many cars as in other years, but still had a good turn-out.

I still have been playing shuffleboard three time per week. It is all friendly competition, and everyone has a good time.

Thanks for visiting.

Shuffleboard

 Yuma, Arizona        High 77 Low 55

It finally warmed up here in Yuma. We have finally got nice weather with very little wind.

I mentioned last post that there was a shuffleboard tournament that I was going to be in. My first game, I was doing alright the first half, until we changed sides. I found a spot that I could shot from and get points. Unfortunately, my opponent watched where I was shooting and beat me in the second half. This put me into the constellation round. I was playing against a little old grey haired lady. We were tied for almost the whole game until the last frame. She got a disc into score and I didn't, so she beat me by 7 points. I guess I didn't watch out for the little grey haired lady well enough. 

The rest of the tournament I either kept score or refereed for the players remaining in the tournament. It was still fun and maybe I'll do better next time.

We had a lot of players from other parks and had 128 entries this year which was up from 96 last year.
