NOV..Aunt
Marge had quite a scare as she was told that she had cancer –
believed to be in the blood. She had several tests while we were
there. She later found out the the cancer was contained to the polyp
in her colon that was removed during the colonoscopy. We
went to Church with Marge on the 1st
and then had a great dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. We had a
wonderful time visiting with Aunt Marge.
On
the 3rd
Dad got a call advising him that a apartment had opened up in the
Timber Creek Village Assisted living place in Havre. I called them
the next day and verified the particulars. Dad decided he didn't
really want to come to Yuma and wanted to move in there. The
decision had to be made pretty quickly and he spent his first night
the just one week later – Nov 10th.
Doug/Fran & Denita/Steve got him all moved with furniture from
his house in Great Falls and our place. It is a very nice place and
he seems to be settling in ok. At lest he is getting his medication
and meals!!!
The
3rd
was also move day.
We headed the 61 miles to Desert Pools RV park in Desert Hot Springs.
The park was pretty empty. They have improved the pool area so we
used the mineral spa a few times. We stayed for a week. While there
we met with Danny a couple of times. Once with Lexi and him at the
'Spaghetti Factory for an early Birthday dinner for Mike – (9th).
On the 8th
we went to the mega Southwest Church in Indian Wells. We have been
wanted to go there for several years. It didn't disappoint – the
service and message was wonderful. There was a car show going on
there as well. From there we went to the College of the Desert
Street Fair.
On
the 10th
we drove to Yuma to our home for the winter. We rented a RV lot 5
lots down from Doug & Frans new place. It's a nice lot with a
small building that has a washer/dryer & bathroom/shower. It is
so nice to have the laundry right there! Happy Birthday to Mike –
we celebrated again with a home cooked Cornish Hen dinner. We did a
little shopping on the 11th
and even ran into some Canadian friends – George & Gail that we
know from Lake Havasu City.
The
14th
we wondered around the Arizona Marketplace, an outdoor market.
On
the 15th
we left around 730a to drive the car to Mesa. We went to pick up
Fran's Mom, Camilla. We stopped in Maricopa on the return for a late
lunch.
We
had been having problems with the kitchen faucet and we discovered
that it had been leaking underneath the sink, causing the wood to be
warped. We found that the faucet was warrantied for 10 yrs so they
sent us a new one. We installed that on the 16th.
Doug
& Fran arrived late on the 17th.
The next several days were spent doing general stuff! Of most
importance – building a fence for Cali.....
The
22nd
we went to Southwest Church. The music and message was great!
We
spent a very nice Thanksgiving at John & Angie Hebblemen's. They
had 6 of their neighbors there as well. We had a fun afternoon
playing a card game. Danny came on the day before and stayed until
the following Sunday, the 29nd.
We received the sad news that Dixie's Uncle Harold passed away on
Thanksgiving On the 29nd
we drove with the motorcycle group to Calexico for lunch. We stopped
in El Centro on the return for a Costco stop.
