February 5, through the 7, 2009

Thursday 5~~~~ We had breakfast with Mel and Linda this morning before heading to Yuma. We had a great time together and will meet again on the road. We stopped at the Escapes Campground to see our friends Cyndi and Howie before going to where we are staying at the Shangri-la camp ground in Yuma. We went out for dinner that night to the same restaurant we ate with our S.D. relatives, it is the best Mexican food ever. Friday 6~~~ The campground had a patio sale this morning, anyone who had something to sell or give away put it out on a table in front of their RV. Sharon managed to find a few things to buy and Kent bought a neat steak hook turner. We continued walking around the campground stopping at the shuffleboard area where there was a large group of people playing shuffle board. Most of them were Canadians, they sure play good and have a lot of fun. This evening we went with our friends and a large group of people from their campground, to a taco feed at the home of a Hispanic family out in the country in a rustic tent with a dirt floor. This group from the campground go there every Friday night for dinner. It started out with 19 people the first night and there were 129 this time, it keeps growing from word of mouth. They have enlarged the menu but it is still done with one couple doing the cooking and their daughter waiting tables with her one month old baby sitting on the bar in the kitchen area. You bring your own drinks and some people brought their own chips and salsa I noticed. The price was so inexpensive and it was a great-fun experience for us to do. That baby never made a peep the whole time we were their, he just looked at everyone who was peeking in at him.
Saturday 7~~~~ It rained all day and I mean rained, we stayed inside watching movies and playing games, Sharon loved the day with the rain, she says these are nesting days and that is what she does. After Mass this evening, we stopped to see our friends and we went over to the clubhouse and played cards until 10 PM We are leaving for Casa Grande, AZ in the morning.
