We are home...

Happy Easter friends and family

I am using Mel's computer as mine just isn't working. I can get to my Blog but it won't let me write anything. I just wanted to finish up with my winter writings.

We got home Wed about supper time. The trip was pretty uneventful. The weather was good as well as the roads. Our motel rooms were acceptable. We met Northfield friends, Mary and Jerry Taylor, a couple times. They were going home too.

Molly was a good girl the whole trip as long as we brought out a bite of what we had to eat. :-) She was good all winter. Mel took her for a lot of walks in the desert but it didn't seem to help her weight any. (mine either)

We unpacked some of the car and then went to the Pit Stop for supper. Seen Russ and his family and Tom. Sure missed them.

Thursday we unpacked more of the car and I started putting stuff away. Got groceries in the afternoon so cupboards are full again.
Trey and the kids came over and had supper with us. We visited until Church time.

We didn't get to see Terri and her family as they were either working or school. Being Easter week they are very busy with church work.

Mel has been working on getting the big truck out of the ice. It is pretty nice out today so maybe it will melt enough to keep the tires from spinning. He hopes to go to work next week. The trailer is in a snow bank as well. He said we should have stayed in AZ another couple of weeks. no no no no no.....

Back to hanging up some more cloths. Good Friday service tonight.

This will be the last blog until we leave again next January.

Thank you for following our stay in Brenda AZ. Maybe you can come for a visit next year.

Happy Easter everyone. A big hug to all and God Bless

Day 85...Wichita

Hi everyone,

We made it to Wichita KS today. We are so tired from sitting in the car all day. Even Molly. Molly has been so good. She mostly sleeps other then when she tells us to get to a rest area. But when we get to the motel she wants to play. and she barks when playing so the poor little girl has to just settle down some more.

We found out friends Jerry and Mary from Northfield were also on their way home from AZ. We met them for coffee this morning. They took a different road so we parted again.

Starting to see some snow here and there. Cold and windy today too.

Home tomorrow night.....sooo happy.

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 84...On our way home

Hello,

We are in Santa Rosa, NM. The weather is wonderful although a bit cooler than Brenda. Had to wear light coats today. The scenery is awesome. Only God can do that. Hills, valleys, rock formations, snow capped mountains. Big bright moon. If only I could get the pictures on here.

We didn't leave quit as early as planned but not to bad, We thought we were ready last night but found so many things to take care of this morning. We left at 8 and then We stopped for breakfast at the Kofa and then on we went.

We drove over 630 miles. Hope we can go as far tomorrow. Should be home Wed night.

So good night hugs and God Bless

Day 83...Ready to go !

Good evening,

The problem with the time change is I keep checking for words from home and forgetting most are in bed. We are 2 hours earlier than home.

We are so ready to leave. Going out of the park at 7 am. Now praying for good weather.

After church we went home to have our final lunch here then we visited friends and got visits from friends to say good bye. Inbetween we finished our packing and cleaning.

I scrubbed the floor and vacuumed. Emptied the frig and thawed it out. (no self defrost here) Washed the dishes and cleaned the sinks and coffee pot. Mel got the last of the stuff in the car.

We met AG & Audrey for supper in Quartzsite. Went a little early so I could get some more beads that Judy recamended. (Still forgot one kind). But what I did get made us late meeting Wilsons. (Sorry!)

We had a good meal. I had Chicken Fried Steak and Mel had pork.

Thinking back about the critters we seen. There isn't many I guess. A road runner, a lizard, some quail, some cows, and just heard about 3 snakes. (So glad I didn't see them) Didn't see or hear any Coyotes.
Wish there had been more. The desert is starting to bloom now. Yellow daisy type bushes all along the highways.
Cactus is blooming here and there. Not the big Sagiaros though. My cactus here has a bud but I won't get to see it.

Our friend and former neighbor here ,Bev, lost her little doggie today. Bev had a tea cup poodle. So sad.

I have a new computer and a new weed eater waiting for me when we got home. From what I here I won't be using the weed eater for a while.

So guess I better get some sleep. I will try to blog from our motel along the way but if I miss a day don't worry.


I think I am just babbling so good night hugs and God Bless. See you real soon.

Day 82... Leaving earlier

Hello friends and family,

I am so excited. We are leaving Monday morning instead of Tuesday. We only have the deck stuff to put away and some final cleaning. The frig, floors and window covers. Might still find some odds and ends but I hope not many as the car is full. Only room left for Molly in the back seat.

This morning we went to yard sales in Brenda Park. Got a few things. Mostly some beads.
Home and packed. Washed cloths and packed, brought yard ornaments in and packed.

Friends came and got my flowers. I hope they enjoy then for a while. They won't last long when the temps rise.

We went to a music jam for an hour. Mels back was sore from all the carring and packing he has done so we came home after an hour and he rested for a while.

We grilled chicken wings and shrimp on the grill for supper. Now just hamberger left in the frig.
Good thing we will be going out for supper tomorrow.

So keep the sun shinning. we are coming home.

Good night hugs and God Bless

PS... Thanks Dixie J. for the updates on Brad's (Elvis ETA)contest. Wish I was there.

Day 81...3 more days and gone !

Good evening.

The weather is perfect here. Nice and warm with a little breeze.

More packing. Mel has the car half full. With a heaping pile on the spare bed to put in yet. He is a good packer so I am sure he will get it all in.

I got my necklace lesson today. Thanks to Judy. I just hope I can remember how to do it. I wore the one I made tonight. :-)

We met the Wilsons at Dos Amigos for our final Cod supper. It is soooooooo good. I hope to find a place at home that offers all you can eat Atlantic Cod. I know I will miss it. Said our good byes to the owners and our favorite waitress, Gege

We are going to a park wide yard sale early in the morning. A neighbor hood party behind us tomorrow afternoon. This will give us a chance to say good bye to everyone. From there more packing.

So good night hugs and God Bless everyone.

.

Day 80...Uffda, a long time!

Hello my friends,

How is MinneSNOWda? Oh, I sure hope it is getting better.

Pretty nice here. Never looked at the temp but I am thinking about 85..

The stew we made last night sure smelled good this morning. I and 2 friends, Alice and Mary, went to a craft show at Desert Gold. Mel said he would have lunch ready for me when I got back.. ha! It was almost ready when I left.

The Craft show was the same old things. Didn't have what I wanted. I bought a new sleve pin. Different then the ones I have been making. I am hoping I can make some of this kind.

After lunch we got a few more things packed up. Mel picked up the carpet grass we had out front. He tied down the deck roof and filled the water jugs. We set them all over inside to keep moisture in during the hot hot summer.
I got all the paper stuff I need to take home packed. Washed a load of cloths.

We went to Quartzsite later and picked up a few things. Then met our friends Betty and Roger for supper. They are from Utah. Good eating and good company.

We picked up some milk and headed back to Branda. The very last Gospel jam for us this season. So many have left so a small crowd and a small band. but I sure enjoyed it. AG and Audrey joined us there.

Home again. Molly had to stay home as it is just to hot to stay in the car. She thought for sure we left her for good... Silly girl.

Three days left and so much to do yet. Lots of packing and 3 more dinners out with friends. Church on Palm Sunday and a race to watch. I still want to get a lesson on making a necklace. Maybe tomorrow for that.
I pray the weather will allow us to go home on Tuesday.

Good night hugs and God's Blessings to everyone.

Day 79...Kind of warm !

Hi there,

Hardly left the house today. Packed a few things. Went to the post office. Stopped at Alices with a cactis book.

It was really warm today. 91 I think it was. Still pretty warm out.

Molly got a comb out and a bath. I was hoping to wait with the bath until the day before we left but she was soooo dirty.

We are trying to empty the frig and freezer so we made a crock pot stew. We will have it for lunch tomorrow. Not to much left. Hamberger and chicken wings is all.
Good thing we are going out to eat a lot. We finished off the steaks tonight with scalloped potatoes & mixed veggies.

I guess I better shut the door. Got a big moth in here.......
.......it is gone.

I hope this sends now as I don't have a very good signal. Ony two bars in 2G. Suppose to have 4G.

I found homes for my flowers when we leave. They are just getting big and pretty.
Just glad I won't have to throw them in the garbage.

Watching American Idol. I still don't have a favorite. They are singing Bettles songs tonight. I bet they can't do Elvis!!

Good night hugs and God Bless.

Day 78...One more week !

Good evening,

I can't believe the weather at home. My goodness! I seen pictures of some accidents near home. I hope you all are safe.

Mel is kind of leary to leave yet. This worries me. I so want to go home but I sure don't want to travel in bad weather. We will see what happens.

I didn't get much packing done today. We had company for a while this afternoon.
Bev, used to be our neighbor, and her companion Frank stopped in. Then I went to Alice's to check out her quilt. She just got it back from having it quilted. Just beautiful !!

I am trying to tell myself not to fear BUT.... a big bull snake is living near us.
Friend Betty has a 5 foot Bull snake under their house. Oh uffda !! They tell me the bull snakes won't hurt you but....

Wilsons joined us for a taco supper at Dos Amigos. I will miss those taco's with home made shells. From there we went to our final Gospil jam at Desert Gold. The jam was so good tonight. Lots of band members and singers.

No plans for tomarrow. Maybe will get some packing done.

82 degrees today. So nice.

Stop that snow !! Mel jokingly said that we might have to hire the first lawn mowing done if we don't get home soon. (don't listen to him Speed)

Good night hugs and God Bless

.

Day 77...Packing

Hello my friends,

Is the snow gone yet?

After our walk to the desert with Molly we had some lunch and then the packing began.
I started with the heavier cloths and my shoes. Then my jewelry. I packed it all so only left out 1 set of earrings, 1 necklace, 1 bracelet, 1 ring. How will I ever deal with not having different jewelry every day?????

We went to Audrey's and AG's RV for supper. What a nice meal she had ready for us.
Fried chicken, cabbage salad, fresh corn, potatoes and gravy and a lemon bar for desert. Oh so good. I got to see the beautiful quilts she is making for their 7 yes 7 new grand and great grand babies coming soon. Can you imagine a family gathering with 7 new babies?

We then went to the town of Hope to a music jam. That jam is always a big one. It took 3 hours to give everyone a chance to sing.

Still kind of warm in the house. I think it was 86 or so outside today. 69 now and 76 in the house. No covers needed tonight.

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 76.. Oh Watta day !

Hello everyone,

It was a very busy day. Church this morning. Home as fast as we dared and turned the race on.

The race was half over already but I sure enjoyed the rest of it. My favorite driver wasn't there today but at least my least favorite didn't win !

Audrey and AG joined us for the Saint Pattys dinner. Corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, nummy carrots, Irish Soda bread, and pudding.

After dinner we had a good visit on our deck. The weather was good. Only in the 80's and a light breeze. Audrey and I made up some snacks to take to the dance but they didn't want to go with us. They missed a lot of fun. ;-)

We did have a good time. We even danced ! I even did a couple of line dances. Brave eh?

Tomarrow and the rest of the week will be so busy. Lots of last min things we want to do yet plus the start of packing for home.

I think I better get to bed.

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 75...A do nothing day

Hello,

We had another hot day. But only 90 today. ;-)

It sure was a do nothing day. We did go for gas and got an ice cream bar too.

This afternoon Mel napped. I read, crochet, painted and washed dishes...

We grilled chicken wings for supper. The fridge is getting emptyier. Only a week left to get it all ate up.

Oh, I almost forgot..... I ordered a new computer today. I hope I got the right one. Will be delivered on April 4th. I hope someone can help me transfer stuff from one computer to another.

Good night hugs, God Bless

Day 74... Beautiful sunshine

Good evening,

It was another "hot" day. Not as high as yesterday though. About 90 or 92. It will be about the same tomorrow. I heard more ice at home. Uffda!!

It was our final dance class this morning. Some brought some snacks for after. Now to dance this summer so I don't forget how !!!

Just pitzed this afternoon. A little painting on a lawn ornament, a little reading, planted a cactus, a little computing and changed the fish water.

We met AG and Audrey at Dos Amigos for Friday fish. Ohhhhhhh sooooo good. Atlantic cod. After we got our fill of the cod we sat outside at their tables and had a good visit.

This evening I watched "Touch" on TV and painted another color on the lawn ornament.

I think I will have a piece of pie and go to bed early.

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 73... Someone turned the heat up!!

Hello to all who is in snow banks and others who are not.

Golly, it was a hot one today. Finally got AZ weather. It was 97 ! Yes it was.
Turned on the A/C for the first time. I sat out for a few min but Molly didn't like it. Mel did too and got a bit burnt.

I put a roast in the crockpot along with some potatoes and other veggies. And of all days I made an apple pie. Thats when we turned on the A/C. AG and Audrey is coming for supper.

The afternoon was pretty uneventful. Our friends came at 5. We ate supper then went to the Brenda music jam. Only 7 band members. Sooo many gone home already.
But it was still a very nice jam.

Back to our place and we had the apple pie, ice cream, and a good visit.

It is still pretty warm out but comfortable. We turned off the AC and opened a window. Bed time now.

nite nite hugs and God Bless
.

Day 72...Gifts of cacti

Welcome to AZ. The temps are finally up there. Going to be 90 tomorrow. Love it!!

I messed up with the scarf I am crocheting. Three of us gals were chatting and showing each other the stitch we use to make this scarf. I don't know what I did but mine all came apart. :-(
I had about a foot done too. So guess I have to start over. (Quit laughing !)
I think or I hope I will have a crochet teacher handy when I get home - hah Dixie?

After lunch we were going to friend and former neighbor, Bev's, to get a cactus they offered me. We got to Quartzsite when she called to ask we come a little later as she had errands to do first. So we went back to Gem World.

When I seen Judy's necklaces she made I realized I needed a few more things. Then off to Bev and Franks.

Oh my goodness, did we ever get cactus. I hope we can get them home without injury!! (injury to us not the cactus!)

We met the Wilsons at the Palo Verde restaurant in Quartzsite. Good food and good company.

It was such a beautiful day and the evening was just as nice. Mel and I....and Molly sat out on the deck for a while before the computer called me.

So good night. hugs to all. God Bless.

Day 71...Now it is Tuesday

Welcome back to this crazy blog...

It has been a day of learning. And nice and warm too. In the 80's today. :-)

I went to line dancing class this morning. I really enjoy it but I doubt that I will ever be on any dance floor. But they say we should never say never !
Mel and Molly met me at the door when I was finished.

Friend Alice came home with me to help me figure out a crochet pattern. I started this afghan maybe 10 years ago. I couldn't remember how I did it. We did get it figured out. So now I hope I work on it.

Mel and I started our gumbo soup. So many ingrediance. Spices and herbs that I never used before. Shrimp, sausage, crab, tomato, onion, garlic, celery, rice, chicken, chicken and beef broth. When it started cooking the smell wasn't good. I thought sure we would be throwing it out. But after tasting it I kind of liked it. I wish I knew what I put in it that made the unusual smell. Could it be the bay leaf? Mel liked it so guess it was good.

After cleaning up I went to the deck to work on the afghan square. Then a neighbor (Judy)came over and showed me how to make a scarf. The kind that is kind of spiral. Then I went to her house to see her jewelry she makes. She invited me to come again for a lesson on jewelry making.

Our dear Wyoming friends, AG and Audrey, finally got here. They are parked in Salome. We met at Dos Amigos for Taco night.

We stopped at home to get Molly. (To hot to leave her in the car during tacos) But she said she wanted to go with us to the Gospel Jam. ;-) Wilsons also joined us there. Not very many band members or singers left. Only ll in the band. Usually there is 25 to 35. But it was still good.

Home again... Just been watching TV and reading emails.

Did it quit snowing at home yet? We are delaying leaving for home until the 25th so the weather better change. I don't want to stay here any longer !!

So good night hugs and God Bless

Day 70... Pretend it is Monday

Good morning,

I don't know what happened with this old computer last night. It wouldn't let me do anything but play solitaire. I could get to the site I wanted but only a white page would show.

Yesterday we went to Blythe to see why our computer broadbands don't work. Mels totally quit and mine only works if I prop it up. So Mel got a new one and it seems to work great. He can get 4G. Mine is suppose to be but only get 3G and sometimes only 2G. My upgrade is due in May so it won't cost as much. I decided to just wait.

We got a few groceries. Just what was needed to make gumbo. Going to try it anyway.

Mel dropped me off at Gem World in Quartzsite. I got some stuff and hopefully can learn to make some necklaces. Does anyone know how so you can teach me?

Had company for supper. Alice and Kermit (MN people) came over. We had buffalo wings on the grill, corn on the cobb,and Alice brought potato salad and choc cake.
It was a good evening.

So on with my day. Dance class in a half hour so better get to getten !!
See you tonight.

Hugs and God Bless

Day 69... Sunny day

Hello there, 68 degrees and sunny.

Another snow storm at home. Golly. I want to come home but not with storms still around. Make it quit !!

Our day started with a great breakfast at the club house. Pancakes, bacon, eggs, & orange juice and coffee. Church from there. Home for a while and watched the start of the race and back to the club house for the final music jam. Lots of good singers today. Then we ate again. BBQ, potato salad, several different kinds of pickles, cheeses, raw veggies. The couple that are in charge of the music jam put on the feed. Sure was good.

Nothing more for the day. Just home. We tried to find a good recipe for seafood gumbo. Has anyone ever made it? We had some at our friends picnic yesterday. It was like a soup. The recipes I find is thick not in a soup broth. Mel thought it was the greatest.

Good show in TV...Breaking Dawn, part 1. (Twillight Saga)

God's Blessings and good night hugs

Day 68...Another pot luck

Hello my friends,

We started the day with taking Molly for a walk in the desert. She sure likes to be off the leash for a change. She never gets to far away from us. Mel takes her everyday so she knows the way there and back. She is on a leash until she gets to the gate.

I made a Denver sandwich for lunch then we went to the afternoon Jam at Desert Gold.
We never been to that one and even though very few left on stage they sure had good singers.

We had a pot luck at the clubhouse for supper. VERY few attending but we sure had a nice variety of food. I made another bowl of my mac/shrimp/crab salad and it all went.

Thats about it for today.

It was kind of chilly again. Clouded up by 6. Not sure if more rain is coming or not. Sure would like to have an AZ day that we don't have to turn the furnace on.

Good night hugs... see you in church tomarrow. God Bless

Day 67...Wind, rain, cold !

Hi there,

Hope everyone is shoveled out. That snow has to go so we can come home.!!

Did it ever rain and blow this morning. We were invited to a yard party at noon. Kind of a pot luck. Bev used to be our neighbor here but moved near Quartzsite. We got gas first and then "blew" over there. We had to be in the house most of the time.

They have a yard full of various cacti and they are going to give me some. yaaaa.
More for my cactus garden.

They furnished hotdogs, hambergers, & drinks. Some one made sea food gumbo that was so good. there was beans, potato salad, cakes, and my shrimp/pasta salad. (That was a hit by the way).

On the way home we stopped at the grocery store. I have another pot luck to make for. Tomorrow night at the club house. Sunday company coming for buffalo wings.

We went to Dos Amigos for their fish supper. It was so good but we weren't very hungry after the afternoon meal at Bev and Franks.

Ginny's funeral today. Just can't quit thinking of her.

I am watching my favorite TV show, "Touch".

So good night hugs and may God Bless all of you.

Day 66... Company

Hello,

The days are sure going fast. It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood !!

I did some cleaning as company was comin. We made a visit to our insurance lady as our AZ house insurance was due for renew. That didn't take long. We stoped and got a burrito to take home for lunch. They are sooooo big and sooooo good.

Our friend, Larry, got here about 1. He is from the Pine Island area. He and Mel had a good visit. We went to Silly Al's Pizza for supper then Larry went on his way.

It is clouding up so rain is expected. Still a nice evening. But now bedtime.

Thinking of Ginnys family tonight....

nite nite hugs & God Bless

Day 65...bonfire`

Welcome back everyone,

We had another awesome weather day. About 80. I tried to blow some your way. Hope you got it.

Watching AMerican Idol right now. Can't say I like any of them, They do have good voices but just not my kind of music.

I did some laundry and swept the floor. Wow.. really ambitious eh?

We had the Park bonfire and hot dog roast tonight. Pot luck the rest. All so good.
Seems the bonfire always happens on the hottest day.

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 64...More taco's and jams

Hello,

Another nice but cloudy day. But I did get a little sunburn.

This morning was the gulf cart races. So fun to watch. Mostly the one where the driver is blind folded and the partner had to direct them around the track. They had a hard time knowing left from right and would go all over the place other than the path they were suppose to go. Pretty funny.

I stopped in to Alices to see the quilt she is working on. A childrens quilt with zoo animals on it.

Mel has a huge rock that he is going to paint the AZ flag on it for a lawn ornament.
This afternoon he cleaned the rock and primer painted it. Tomorrow he will do more.

It was taco night at Dos Amigo's. Always so good. Home for an hour then on to the Gospel Jam at Desert Gold. That was good too. A lot of people have gone home already so not as many playing and singing.

Tomorrow will be busy again... a visit to our house insurance agent and the park bond fire and hot dog roast.

Verona & Cliff got home this afternoon. I hope they get some rest and comfort.
Ginny's funeral is on Friday in Stewartville. Wish I could be there.

God Bless and good night hugs.

Day 63...Just a day

Hello,

Didn't do much this morning. We had a left over chili for lunch then went to town and got a few groceries. Probably the last grocerie shopping for out here. Maybe will need some bread and milk.

Again a simple supper. Just a hamburger helper hotdish. Then just on the computer and watching TV. MacGyver is on right now...

We have decided to pack for home on the 19th. Weather permitting.

How you doing in the snow storm? I hope all are well and safe.
It was 78 here.

Yesterdays race was so fun. The weather was perfect. Warm and overcast so the sun didn't beat down on us. Mels nephew was with us. After the race we had dinner together and then on home.

I got the news of Ginny right after the race so it was a quiet night from there.

We picked Molly up from her babysitter. She sure was glad to see us. I guess she didn't eat or go to the bathroom all day. She told us to never leave her again. lol

Bed time as soon as the show is over... 15 min.

God bless and good night hugs..

Day 62...Friends forever

Rest in Peace Ginny...

My dear friend Virginia (Ginny) Herrick passed away today of a heart attach.

We were close school friends since 7th grade. She wintered with her twin sister Verona and her husband Cliff here in Brenda AZ. But this year there were health issues with her family at home so she decided to go home earlier than planned to help out. Less than 2 weeks later she is gone.

We would send messages on the computer or text on the phone daily. I will miss that so. We always signed off with a hug.

So Ginny, here is your hug. A big one.

Day 61...Boogity boogity...lets go racin.!!

hello

Tomorrow is the day. We go racin !! We will meet with Mel's nephew at 10 and then on to the Phoenix race track.

It was a beautiful day again today. I never looked at the temps but must have been over 80 degrees.
We sat on the deck most of the afternoon. Friends stopped in for a while.
We made supper on the grill. burgers, foil wrapped potatoes & onions, & spicy chicken wings.

I tried to figure out directions to crochet a scarf but I guess I will need to go to someone who knows what they are doing. Sounded simple but my brain just wouldn't get it.

My very good friend,Ginny, was taken to the hospital this morning after having a heart attach. She had a stent put in and doing ok. I guess this is why God sent her home from here earlier than planned. I am praying for you Gin. I wish I was there with you.

God Bless and Hugs to all.

Day 60...Yuma trip

Hi .. Looks like it is cooling off at home again. Warming up here. It finally hit 80 today. Sooooo nice.

We said good bye to our neighbors this morning. Mel helped them hook up their pick up to their RV. We left for Yuma shortly after.

It was a nice trip. Yuma is about 90 scenic miles from here. We took a different route when we got close and was unsure we were going to get to Yuma or ending up in CA. LOL
But Mel had it right and we were soon there.

We got to see lots of fields and date farms. Planned on buying some dates but never seen a store to get any. Thinking to get a date shake on the way home but we were to full to even look for one.

We spent a couple of hours at the Flea Market. Several very long isles of venders selling everything you can think of...except dates. Mel found a beautiful ring made by a Pueblo Indian. I got a purse and 2 BIG rings. (Of course I needed them)

We met our friends at the Golden Coral. We met Pat and Leroy the first year we came to AZ. They are from MN but now full time living in their RV. Pat and I always have so much to talk about...we laugh and laugh and talk some more. To bad we only see each other once a year.

Home again about 7:30. Today was a good thing.

God Bless and good night hugs

Day 59...Mostly home

Hi everyone,

It wasn't to bad a day. About 65 and a cool wind. We sure won't be used to the 80 degree day coming on Sunday.

Mel, Molly, and I walked to the desert this morning. Yes, I walked !!! Molly sure likes being off the leash for a change. Mel takes her out almost every day so she knows her way there and back again.

I went to next door neighbors to say good bye. They leave for home in northern New Mexico tomorrow morning. Mel went to the produce tent to get some lettuce and strawberrys. Later I went to Betty's for a few min. I returned some magizines to her.

For supper we tried a new place. Mexican taco's it says in the front of the little building just down the road about 6 miles. We got each a taco and a buretto. Sure was good. We took them home and ate them. It is an eat outside restaurant and it was just a bit to chilly.

Then off we go to the Gospel Jam in Brenda Park.

Tomorrow is another big day as we are going to Yuma. Just going to goof around and then meet friends for supper.

Bedtime...

God Bless and good night hugs
