Janiuary 29 and 30, 31, 2009

Thursday 29~~~~Today is Pammy's birthday, the weather here is sure different than that day in 1962 when she was born. We are in Yuma Arizona, the weather is in the 70's with a little wind. Sharon's cousin Linda and Mel Kessler from Murdo, SD are camping here at the home of another cousin of both of us. They have a lovely home with an RV pad with hookups for them to park on and their neighbor has one that we are staying on. This cousin is one of Sharon's, Grandmother Thresa Baldwin Enright's cousin, 85 years old and he and his wife are delightful. They and the Kessler's fixed a delicious chicken dinner for us for dinner and we spent the evening learning things about our Grandmother Tress's life. Friday 30~~~~ This morning the 6 of us drove all over the countryside in their six seated van sight seeing, stopping for pizza that we took home and baked for our dinner before going out dancing that evening at a lovely club house. We sure had fun practicing our dancing skills and watching the other dancers. Kent and I sure danced a lot of dances, we were on a roll!!! LOL Saturday 30~~~~The cousins called early this morning to see if we wanted to go shopping at a second hand shop, of course we said yes. Sharon was real busy making food for the Super Bowl party we are having tomorrow. She made a pasta salad and had her famous carrot cake all baked before we left. The woman sure had fun shopping and the men found some chairs and sat there visiting. Next we drove around and looked at the lettuce fields being harvested with the workers walking behind the machine cutting and trimming and bagging them all in one process. We learned the difference between date and palm trees, stopping at a roadside store where they made the most delicious date shakes ever.l Sharon and Kent shared one, thinking we wouldn't like them, that was a big mistake!! This evening we went to a Mexican restaurant that had very good food. this was another day with a lot of fun and good food. The diet can start tomorrow!!!!
