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.

Thanks for visiting.

Can-AM Parade

 Yuma, Arizona       High 68 Low 46

It still is a lot cooler than usual for here and the weather guessers are predicting that it will continue to be cooler.

We had a Canadian- American Parade here in the Park. Past years they were held on separate days, but this year they were combined.  I guess not as many participants. 

Next week we have our annual Shuffleboard pin tournament here in the Park. I hope I can do better than in the past. I'll try to remember to get some pictures. Also this year we have more entries than last year, about 30 more.

Cindy is still busy making quilts for me to quilt next summer. 

Thanks for visiting.

Fabric Store And Quilt Show

Yuma, Arizona           High 69 Low 40

It has warmed up a bit and the wind has pretty much stopped. Maybe that's why it feels warmer.

While Nancy was here, we had ice cream almost every evening.

We probably bought way too much at Green Groceries, but it sure is good.

Thursday we went to The Arizona Market specifically to go to Bonnies Fabrics. They are closing at the end of this season and everything was 20% off, even the sale fabrics which were already way cheaper. Nancy and Cindy bought some good fabrics.

Friday was the big quilt show in Yuma, and we went to it. They have lots of interesting quilts of all sizes. Sorry, but there are lots of pictures.

These first 5 all from a block of the month class. They just used different colors.

This next one is one of my favorites.

I believe the tag said this panel and pattern were purchased in Sitka, Alaska.

Saturday morning early, Nancy left for Quartzsite. 

Thanks for visiting.
