THANKSGIVING YUMA 2010

We went to friend home for Thanksgiving this year. The girls did such a good job with, Trukey, Ham, Green beans, Dressing, Mashed pototes/gravy, cranberry salad, fruit salad and cressent rolls. Let it be said that I can NOT cook anymore....wanted to help so they gave me a tube of cressent rolls and the first thing I did was whack it on the side of the counter a couple times.....all of a suddent everyone is yelling STOP, who knew you only had to pull the little tab where the arrow is. Now I know but doubt if they will ask me to do rolls again.
Dessert was pumpkin pie, cheese cake and strawberry pie, and all so Yummy. There are some candid shots of everyone visiting after our wonderful dinner. The kids kept us entertained as we let dinner settle.

Thanks Robert and Char for sharing your family with us........ B

ANOTHER WEEK GONE WHERE DID IT GO???

I am sure I have told you that we have a cache on our lot, well I am telling you again so I can post some pictures of people hunting and finding the cache. These are a few of the people we were lucky enough to be home and watch them make there find. As you all know I enjoy visiting and this gives me the perfect opportunity.
Friday we went to the outdoor swap meet, it is under new management and so far I like the changes they have made. Wayne was shopping at Wally's World, one of the clerks saw that I had a camera and started mugging for the camera, had a hard time getting the shot because everyone kept walking between us.

On to the food court, they still have the stage for entertainment, and there is now a Bar close to the stage. Not sure if they only sell beer, was not interested so did not check that part out. Not all the food booths were open yet but what was there all looked good. We decided on Tia food. Rice noodles and Jasmin rice one full order fed the both of us. There was a Mexican, and Greek booth and then the good ole American Hamburger and Fries, that booth also served breakfast and has biscuits and gravy. The lady at the booth said they would serve breakfast all day if they could find a cook. Time will tell on that one. Will be interesting to see what other foods come in, the way it was I had a hard time making a decision.
After the swap meet we headed for Cocopah casino, well on the way we stopped to say hi to friends. Phyllis and Wayne had company, brand new cachers so it was fun visiting with them. Can not remember there caching names but it started with M. Phyllis and Wayne had been to Woodstock 10 in the Seattle area this summer and Wayne was showing me some of the coins they had picked up at the event. They had a great 5 days of activities, no way would I have been able to go go go for 5 days.

On to say hi to Larry and Audry before we head for Cocopah. On the get my gambling fix, and I WON, we both did, well almost. We both gambled for quite a while and managed to get our money back and had enough sense to quit while we were even.

All and all another fun week in Yuma...................B

THE WEEKEND STARTED WITH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Teresa and Wayne are getting OLD, well maybe not Teresa. Larry, Audry, JJ, Char, all met at Outback for the birthday dinner. I was being kind to everyone and did not take a bunch of pictures........that is the last time I will do that. We had a good time catching up with what everyone summer adventures. Food this time was so so, not sure what happened, I had Ahi and it was outstanding or else I was really hungry for Ahi. Wayne and Teresa was nice enough to share there special dessert with all of us. Another good evening in Yuma.
Sunday morning and it is time for the S*W*A*G November breakfast, we got there at 7:20am and the place was almost full. So nice to see a good turn out this early in the season. We had a drawing for a cache that Icpc28 made and Bronco Busters got the prize.
It was so nice to see so many old Friends, just sorry I did not have time to visit with everyone. Early in the season and we almost filled the room at the Holiday Inn, a couple more months and we will be over flowing. The A team (tby, la8, jj, w43) went out in the desert caching after breakfast, I stay at the breakfast to hear the speaker and then go shopping. As you can see my week end was a nice relaxed one.

Now it is Monday and it is in the 80's, it is going to be another nice sunny day in Yuma.

Later B

BREAKFAST'S AND CAHES WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED

Saturday morning stated with a caching breakfast, nothing official just friends getting together. We all met at the golf course here in the Foothills. For once Wayne was happy with the gravy and my eggs were cooked to perfection. It was nice to visit with everyone.
Wayne put a cache on our lot, only manged to get a few pictures. Here is Barbara showing off her 5Th to find prize of two dollars. Wayne changed things a bit, instead of the 1ST and 2ND to find getting a prize he made it for the 5TH and 10TH. Leave it to Wayne to think of that. I think the 10TH to find is still up for grabs.

So far our weather has been in the 80's and 90's but understand there is a cool down on the way. Who knows the cool down might not be that cool.

Check out Wayne's blog to see our new patio.....love it!!!

Have a good week everyone. B
