Another Address Again

Whenever we meet someone, and they have a blog, I tend to check in from time to time to see where they are and where they have been.  Well, this past week we were once again able to meet up with George & Suzie - we met them at Unadilla, GA in November 2014.  They were the folks that told us about picking the pecans and so graciously lent us their pecan cracker.  I checked their blog and sure enough, they were in the same area as we were so it was a great chance to renew our acquaintance.  Hopefully, we get to meet up again down the  road.

While our stay at Holtville was terrific, it was time to move on.  Well, we started up the motorhome and oh no, it's missing something awful - was this just another thing that was going to happen.  We did have to replace our water pump this past week.  The motor seemed to start running properly so down the road we went and an hour later we were at a park near Winterhaven, CA.  We chose the spot because of it's close proximity to Algodones in Mexico.  

We wanted to get some dental work done and because of the low cost, we decided we would give it a whirl.  So we went across three times, had whatever work done that we wanted, bought a few things (including some vanilla and Kahlua) and were very pleased with both the work and the purchases.  We really haven't been across very much in the past few years so we were very surprised.  The entire area is now dental offices, pharmacies, and optical shops.  The number of additional dental offices is absolutely amazing.  Plus there are quite a few new restaurants, some with live entertainment, plus additional washrooms (it was always a challenge to find a bathroom).   While there have been changes, some things just stay the same - such as the unfinished building near the entrance - it's been in the same state of construction for as long as we can remember!  We may pop over one more day to buy some more strawberries which were very, very tasty!  I had considered getting a haircut  just for old times sake (right Stan) but didn't really need one.

Old guys having fun

The Silver Spur Rodeo is this weekend in Yuma so we went into town today to watch the parade.  We were really surprised at how few folks there were along the parade route.  Last weekend we went to the parade in Holtville (a town of 5,000) and there were definitely many more folks watching the parade with almost as many exhibits.  It was fun, though, to watch the various exhibits and a great way to spend a lovely, warm Saturday morning. Then it was off to do a bit of shopping and pick up a parcel that we had ordered - Gerry was almost running out of things to repair.

This week we will be moving into the Yuma Foothills for a few days to visit with some friends and then, who knows.  I hope you have a great week and I'll be back next week with a new address!!
