Sorry. I can not get the captions to go with the picture. But close.






....................................................................











After a good breakfast in Quartzsite at Sweet Darlene's we took a trip to Yuma. It is about a 85 mile trip. We seen a lot of produce fields. We could tell what most of them were but a couple had us wondering. One looked like very long grass. We ruled out onions. The other field was very dark red, almost black something..like black lettuce. Any ideas?











We seen the big guns at the entrance of Yuma Proving Grounds. The Occateo cactus was blooming in that area.






On to the Yuma Markets... or for a better name, a huge flea market. We got a few things. I got a couple of turtles ( lawn ornaments) and the rug for the new bedroom. Ginny and Verona got a couple things too. In fact Cliff got Verona a pretty Valentine gift.





We thought we would have to come back to get the carpet but we used Cliff's idea of tieing it to the top of the car and we got it home all safe and sound. I can't wait to lay it. Mel picked it out. It isn't what I would have picked but it is very beautiful with reds, blacks and off whites. Now I will have to get a floor pad for my computer chair.










The carpet as I looked threw the rear window









We met some camper friends for lunch. Pat and Leroy. We met them on our first trip out here and became good friends. They are from MN but now live full time in there big RV. The 7 of us had a good visit at the Golden Coral.






On the way home we got a Date Shake. Oh, was that good!!











Tomorrow we will be off again. Starting with breakfast at the Prigges.











Good night and God Bless



















Somehow a second picture got on here & I can't delete it.
