March 28 thru March 31, 2016 Yuma Arizona

       Monday March 28, 2016   We had to go into Yuma this afternoon, so we stopped at the casino on the way home and played the slots for a short time, we won $45 on a machine we haven't played for a long time. We came home and after dinner we went over to the club house where we played a 6 hand game of Hand and Foot. They always have new ways of playing the card games here and we found we really like playing it this way. You have 2 teams of three people and you can only have 7 cards in each book. Any cards that you draw that is already a book can't be added to the books. You have to use them as a discard or make another book from them. It makes going out a lot harder. We played 2 games and called it a night. We went to our motorhome and watched TV before heading to bed.
   Tuesday March 29    The temperature was 95 degrees today and it was hot. We stayed inside most of the day, They have a beautiful pool here, but we didn't go out to use it.After dinner we walked over to the club house to play cards, but tonight was karaoke night. The club house has a karaoke machine and everyone is too timid to sing alone, so we all sat in our chairs and sang. Our friend Cyndi told them that her husband Howie and Sharon would sing for them if they gave us a few beers!!!!  All the songs were the 50s, all rock and roll, no country. Kent wandered in half way through it and wasn't too impressed with the singing,  so he left shortly along with the other non singers. LOL
       Wednesday March 30  Today was laundry day and they have lots of clotheslines and we love to hang our sheets to dry in the fresh air. It was so hot, we didn't need to leave them out very long. We played our board game fast track with Cyndi and Howie after dinner until close to midnight in  their motorhome. We finally beat the boys tonight, they have been beating us every night, so we kept playing to see who could win the most games. We have so much fun together, we almost hate to leave, but we have relatives in Apache Junction to go to next and some friends near Tucson on the  reservation  to spend a few days with.  I love the cactus and the desert, so here are a couple more pictures.
