Into Yuma Foothills

This past week we moved onto a lot in the Foothills - a Yuma subdivision of sorts.  Here we have all the amenities of water, electricity, and sewer.  That is particularly nice on cold winter nights (and days too).  Having said that we do have those same amenities when out in the desert (well, except for the sewer - that we have to go somewhere to dump).  We are on a lot across the street from friends so that makes visiting much easier, quicker, and more spontaneous.

 When we were out at Mitry Lake, you could often see the birds swimming by - often you would see some coots.  Coots were everywhere - old ones were on the shore watching the birds swim by.  At night you could often hear the coyotes howl - and they often sounded like they were right next door.


Once in town, we did a little shopping.  The highlight of the week is going to Del Taco Thursday evening when they have a special on chicken tacos - $0.75/e for seniors (another perk!) - what a dining treat.  After eating, we went to an outdoor holiday jazz concert.  To be able to sit outside in December and enjoy some music is absolutely great.

Since we are near friends - we have three couples and we take turns making supper.  That is great fun because you always enjoy the camaraderie of great folks, you only cook every third day, and every day is a dining treat.  The downturn is that it causes closet shrinkage but that is why we make New Years resolutions I'm sure.

Gerry spent the latter part of the week fixing the side of the motorhome where the mailbox attacked him.  It is looking mighty fine - we just need a calm day so we can spray it.

May you have a great week!
