March 1-19, 2015... The 2^nd – We weren't able to bring the slide in once again, however we were able to push it in. We left Gila Bend for the Foothills of Yuma in the rain. The further west we got the more sun we saw. We stopped for lunch in the motorhome and arrived at George's lot around 130p. George's brother and wife (Keith & Judy) are staying in the park model and Doug & Fran are parked in the RV space. We were going to look for another lot to rent but when we got their Doug and George thought we could park on the lot as well. It took some time to figure out the electrical hookup. We ended up plugging in to a 110 plug for the time being. It's a bit crowded but we all fit.

That evening we met George's other brother, Harold & Helen as well as George's, girlfriend, Coralee. We all had happy hour together!

Over the next couple of days Doug put in a 30 amp hookup for us to use. The sewer hose will work with a few extensions. We share it with Doug/Fran. Mike caught a cold so was under the weather for several days the first week of March. Dixie worked on Medical Accounting charges and deposit.

Dixie, Doug & Fran met Bob Graff & Carol at Applebee's for lunch on the 6^th and then went to the Flea Market. We have had several dinner's together with the group.

On Saturday, the rest of the gang went on a motorcycle ride to Parker.

On the 8^th we went with Doug & Fran to shop a bit and then went to dinner at Da Boyzs Italian in old Yuma.

Dixie ordered a single burner Induction Cooktop from Jane & Jerry at the show – it arrived on Monday, the 9^th. We are now in search of a couple of pans that work with it.

The gang went on another ride, this time to Borrago Springs. We hung out and caught up on computer work. Things are coming together for the Hawaii trip. We got all of our days at the condo in Maui and Kona. Less than two weeks away.

On the 10^th Fran & Dixie went shopping in the afternoon. I found some pans for the induction cooktop at Marshall's – over course we had to buy a few other things as well.

The 11^th was a trip to Algadones, Mexico. Doug had a chipped tooth and we both had our teeth cleaned. We tried out Bob Graff's dentist, Dr. Alejandro Marques Reyes (928-366-5872). We had our fish/shrimp taco's from the street vendor and then had a beer and listened to Pepe. We bought some tile street numbers and a holder for the Turner house. The line was bit long but we made it through in just over a ½ hour.

The 12^th Doug & Fran went back to Algadones to get his crown put on. We made dinner for them, Keith/Judy and George/Coralee.

Friday the 13^th we went to the flea market in the afternoon and then to George & Coralee's for dinner. George has a wonderful house and patio area. We met a nice couple from Edmonton (Norm & Carol). Norm used to live in Shanavon and spent time in Turner in his early years.

Fran flew to Maui on the 14^th. She flew to Portland to meet up with Camilla and then to Maui.

Mike & I went back to the flea market on the 15^th with the intent of buying a sun shade to add to our awning. However they were out. They will order one and hopefully we can get it next Thru. Doug flew to Phoenix with John to pick up Angie.

The 16^th Dixie went back to Algadones with Doug. He lost a filling on Sunday. The dentist he went to last week was full so we got the name of George's dentist and went there. Dr. Erik Escobedo Cha was able to fill it and we were in and out in 20 minutes. Doug really liked this dentist so we will try it next time. (928-227-1048 escobedodental.com just in case I lose the card). We walked around a bit and then tried a new place across from the square for a shrimp salad. It is located upstairs and has patio dining overlooking the street. Leaving today was quick, just a short line at the gate.

Doug left for Danny's on the 17^th. He will overnight there and then go to Santa Ana to pick up Levi, Tyler and Shay on Thurs. They will spend 4 days with him going to Disneyland, California Adventure and Universal Studio's. There will be many first's for Shay...flying, seeing a big city, the beach, etc. Would have loved to be there.

Dixie worked on the 18^th to get everything caught up before our trip. It has been unseasonably hot this past week. We have been walking daily and rode Doug/Fran's bikes today.

The 19^th is packing day....at least putting it in the suitcase as it is pretty much all ready to go. It is cooler today.  Tomorrow is the start of our "25th Anniversary" trip to Hawaii!
