February 21 and 22, 2012

Tuesday 21~~~~We left for Yuma this morning where we will stay for a couple of weeks visiting with our friends at the SKP park there. I packed us our picnic lunch that Kent enjoys so much and we were on the road again. We don't stop to eat, Kent keeps on driving, after we finished lunch we saw the "Sketcher Shoe" warehouse. It is a huge warehouse, I couldn't say how long the buildings were, Kent says about 1/2 mile ?? My daughter Pammy wears Sketchers shoes, so we pulled in to check it out. When we stopped, I asked Kent how he was going to get out of the spot he parked in. He said right through there as soon as that car moves, OK, he is the one who has to do it! LOL We looked at the shoes and I found a pair that felt so good I could run a marathon in, well almost with a little warm up. We called Pammy and she asked us to pick up a pair for her, as she had never seen such a good price, even on sale as these were priced. We headed out to the parking lot and the car was gone, but three others had taken its place. Kent still thought he could make it, he tried it and couldn't, so by now we had a lot of backing up to do. Kent is a very good backer upper up and I am still good at stopping and directing traffic, so we were out of there and on the road quite quickly. We always have quite an audience when we do this because with the extra long truck and 38 feet of trailer, a little old lady giving directions, it draws attention. We had one more stop to make and I know you know what it was!!!!! Kent needed his FRAPACHINO after all that shopping and backing up. We arrived in Yuma after dark, so we pulled into the Coco pah Indian Casino and we parked in the free boon docking section for the night. We walked over to the casino and had a wonderful dinner and we played the slots for awhile winning $130 before calling it a day. We hated to quit, as we were having so much fun winning ,(which we don't usually do) but Kent had a long day driving and we were getting tired. We usually lose $20 and then we leave, because we are in so many casinos and we have to limit our losses. Wednesday 22~~~~We drove out to the park where we always stop and they put us in the over flow area for one day or until someone leaves. There is no electricity or water there but you can run your generators from 8 till 10 AM and from 4 to 6 PM every day, so it isn't too bad. Kent was worried about it being too hot and no air conditioning, but the weather was just perfect and we enjoyed our spot and seeing our friends here in the park. I fixed us spaghetti for dinner and frying the sausage made our smoke detector go off, so Kent had to start the generator after 6 PM so we could turn on our exhaust fans. Of course some idiot came over and reminded Kent that it was off time for him to do that. I thought Kent would eat his head off, but he said I guess your right, I will turn it off, but if will be on again at 8 AM. I hope you don't plan on sleeping in!!!! LOL After dinner we went into town to church. The Ash Wednesday Mass was Spanish and English mixed. There are so many Spanish people here they held it in an auditorium and it was really full, such beautiful children they all have.
