One year ago we passed through Yuma on our way south, here we are again now making our way north, this year we will stay awhile here in Yuma for a look around again, catch up with some friends that are still here, as most leave today or earlier. Still nice to be here again, feeling like our second home. We met many people here over the last few years, travel has kept us away, but still some very good friends here, and we got to visit with a few of them last night. One person that has really kept us in the loop is Constance, she messaged when she new we were here and said, "stop by if you get a chance, we leave first thing in the morning."
Well we did call, and went next door to Fortuna de Oro RV park for a visit. We barely got in their trailer and here comes Tammy and Leonard too. Come over to our place they say, let's have a visit there. Was surprising and powerfully wonderful, if that terminology is correct, just Funtastick! We visited with Don & Constance for about 1/2 hr, so much to talk about, then over to their new purchase, a park model over looking the wash, and facing the mountains that gives them a great view.
Just a great place, and plans for reno's, and a golf cart comes with it. Such a beautiful place.
Then to Cathy and Leonard's place, we had a brief look at their place last year, is beautiful, looking over the wash, with mountain views too.
Then over to Jim & Tammy's place they just bought and put their remodel touches on it, right beside each other, sisters that are very close.
Not long after the tours are done we settled to yak, girls over there, guy's over here. Was great sharing stories again, so much past, and feeling like we had never left too. Was such a warm welcome after a couple years of traveling about, we both commented later, felt like coming home 🏠. Polly even said she felt emotional about it all when she was talking with Constance, even teary.
We both felt so welcome, was just what we needed after a few years of traveling about. Friends that welcome you back like you had never left! Was great 👍
As we wake this morning early, as the sun comes up, our view gets just a little better, the trailer behind us pulled out, now a clear view of the lot behind, will be easier to see the sun coming up, and the parks comings and goings as we stay here another month enjoying the warmth of the sun 🌞, and the beauty of this desert climate.
A little time to get some clean up on the trailer and truck, make it all spick and span as the saying goes. And get a few maintenance thing's done while here.
Catching up with our friends, playing a little poker, enjoying the sun and warm, yep looking for to this. Polly has a different list I'm sure, more around, "I wonder if there are any shows going to be happening?" Casino is here 😆, just to name a few. I'm sure a month will go fast, and we will be on our way north then too.
For now, just being in one place for awhile with friends will be nice. Not everyone will leave now, the pool is great here, and the events calendar still has plans we can take in here at Sundance. Kinda reminds me of what we'll be doing "Sundance" 💃🕺the two of are dancing here in the 🌞 sun as we slow down for a little relax.
It's Sunday morning now, I wake early, make the coffee ☕, when I sit down I look at the phone 4:20, I have to laugh as this is a running joke now between us and friends of Chris's that have become closer now. Often well text each other 4:20, as a jiggle of our memory of Chris. Just a way of keeping him in our thoughts 🤗. Now I read a message on the phone from a friend about his day, he spent with his son it was just great to see he's doing what I did, enjoying his family, as he goes through his life, as it should be. He knows how important it is.
Yep, life moves on!
Now as I carry on this writing, yesterday I moved our friends trailer, they had to go home to Canada as he had a kidney stone that was causing much pain, and medical insurance will only cover two visits to hospital, then get home they tell them. Bugger, seems like when you buy insurance you kinda expect to be insured In the country you bought it for, for as long as you need it! Sadly not how it is. I'm learning to ask what I'm insured for when I buy our medical insurance.
Anyway they buttoned up there trailer and off they went with their truck home, him in pain, her driving as flights were impossible at spring break.
So yesterday Polly and I went over, Polly cleaned out the fridge, I got it ready to go with the help of their son-in-law, then took it to storage here in Yuma.
When I got home Polly made me a nice breakfast 🍳🥓 once I got going in the morning, I just went for it, so breakfast was not on my agenda. After, a snooze 😴 that's part of my day now, then later I just had to go over and enjoy the pool for awhile before dinner. Polly was cooking ribs, and I was not far away, as pool is right across from us.
I met a woman in the pool, Julie, who had just bought a Park model here, we had a real good yak.
After I had time sit & to listen to the music 🎶🎶 piped in by the pool, and feel the warmth of the sun for awhile before Polly called over "youhoo' Dinner's on" WOW that's great, I'm going to enjoy the heck outta this place.
I didn't get my ears wet! 👂No more earaches for this guy!
Lunch is planned with friends today, friends we met last year. Really looking forward to this.
We are fortunate, friends wherever we go makes for welcomes we just don't expect 🤗
I've heard you get what you sow in life, I'm thinking this is true.
I love our life 🤗❤️
Awesome :-) Enjoy every minute :-) Hugs to both of you :-)
