Dec
4th – Dec 17th....The
160 miles drive to Yuma was uneventful. We stayed at Yuma Lakes (our
first time in this park) and Doug & Fran went to Araby Acres.
On
Wed. Dad and Elaine drove down from Lake Havasu and stayed at John &
Angie Hebblemen's until Sun. We all gathered at their house for a
wonderful ham dinner that evening.
Thursday
Dad, Elaine, Doug and Fran went to Alcadones, Mexico with us. Doug
had broke a tooth that morning so he headed to the dentist. Dad and
Mike got glasses and then Mike decided to go to the dentist and get
his bridge. We had lunch and wandered around. Doug got his boots
shined (they were scuffed pretty bad from the bike accident). The
wait time getting back through the border was short! That evening we
all went to Daybreakers for dinner to celebrate Dad's birthday.
Friday Doug, Fran and us went back to Alcoadones so Doug & Mike
could finish up their dental work. Fran & I had a manicure. We
stopped at a little outdoor cafe and listened to 'Pepe' play and sing
some great music. He played non stop for over an hour! The trip
today thru customs was quick – no wait time!!! We went back to
Doug & Frans for dinner.
Saturday
Dixie worked on some jewelry for Christmas gifts! In the afternoon
Dad & Elaine and Doug & Fran came over. Doug bought a
motorcycle through Ebay and he will go to Austin, TX to pick it up.
We did some travel planning for him. That evening we went back to
John & Angie's for Ham & Beans – today was Dad's real
birthday so we celebrated again.
Sunday
Doug & Fran came over for home cooked chinese food!
Doug
flew to Austin on Monday morning to pick up his new bike and will
start his drive back to Yuma. I went to John's to cut his hair and
highlight/cut Angie's. Then I headed over to Fran's to cut her hair.
Tuesday
we made the 22 mile move to Pilot Knob RV park. We got our Christmas
packages ready for mailing. Dixie made some more jewelry – this
time for Denita to give for presents!
Wednesday
I mailed packages and went to Fran's in the morning to work. We
shopped in the afternoon – hit the Goodwill! Doug arrived with his
bike around 630p.
Thursday
we spent a good portion of the day cleaning and rearranging &
washing. That evening we met Doug & Fran in old downtown for a
drink and then went to Los Manjares DePepe for a mexican dinner. We
have frequented this small restaurant in the past & new they had
great food!. It was pooring rain by the time we left – we had a
lake in front of the motorhome.
Friday
we were to have our carpets cleaned at 8am....well they ended up not
arriving until after 11am. They finished by 1230 and the carpets
looked much better. We headed into Yuma and made a few stops and
then went to Doug & Frans for another wonderful dinner.
Saturday
Dixie worked on more jewelry christmas gifts. Doug & Fran moved
their RV to storage at some friends house and they came over to do
some laundry.
Sunday
D & F flew back to Montana to spend Christmas and catch up on
'things'. We had a great lunch a Cracker Barrel and then visited
some friends from our FMCA group (Dennis, Carol, Bill & Lois).
They have a wonderful lot where they park their motorhome for the
winter.
Monday
was a lazy day....Dixie did a haircut and read her book while Mike
cleaned on the outside of the motorhome. Tomorrow we leave for
Desert Hot Springs~
