The laminate flooring tiles throughout our home and at least 10 other homes here at Carefree Village Resort were shrinking, and therefore, pulling apart from each other. Our house is less than 2 years old. I believe the rest of the homes are 2-4 years old. Thank goodness for our homeowner meetings! The affected homeowners… Continue reading New Flooring Installed!

Our Retirement Mindset
Retirement can be tough for some, but Barry and I are thriving in ours! We love our pickleball addiction to stay physically active. I would usually play twice a day. We got in as much quality play as we could throughout March and April by inviting several players from outside CVR to play with us… Continue reading Our Retirement Mindset
A Day on the Water With Friends!
Bob and Kelly Robinson invited us to go out on Bob’s Bass boat just to enjoy a beautiful day on the water before we all leave Yuma the first week of May. I LOVE being out on the water!

Can-Am Pickleball
With the return of the Canadians to CVR this year, so came the return of the Can-Am Paddle Battle! Woohoo! 40 USA picklers, and 40 Canadian picklers.

ARTrails 2022- Yuma Foothills
I saw the pamphlet for the Yuma Foothills ArtsTrail. It looked like it might be a fun thing to do. I asked Nancie Pagett if she would like to go with me. She did, and we had a blast! We were shocked that there were so many artists that lived so close to each other… Continue reading ARTrails 2022- Yuma Foothills

We thought we would take Debbie and Jack there when they came to visit the end of October, but it was closed of course, the two days they were here. During the winter season the prison is open… Continue reading Yuma Territorial Prison -The Official Visit

I’ve been wanting to do one of the Yuma Adventure Labs in the Geocaching Adventure Lab app. Today was finally the day! I chose the “Yuma Historic Buildings” adventure. I parked up by the first location. And I began walking from one historic building/feature to the next. There were 10 locations to “collect” and record… Continue reading “Adventure Lab” Adventure
Friends from WA & FL Visit
Theresa Figurelli was part of the math team at Heatherwood Middle School the entire time I taught there. We retired the same year. While I left the area immediately to live full time in our new RV with Barry, Theresa stayed in Mill Creek. She has been kept busy as a substitute for our math… Continue reading Friends from WA & FL Visit
My First Pickleball Tournament
The City of Yuma brought back the Yuma Games for 2022. Being held locally at Fortuna De Oro – a CalAm Resort, I decided to participate if I could find a mixed doubles partner, and/or a women’s doubles partner. Back in October, Doug Stelma told me that he and I should team up if Barry… Continue reading My First Pickleball Tournament
Geocaching & Our Last Day at Quartzsite 2022
There was a Geocaching class late in the week that I took advantage of since I’ve been curious about it for some time. Dave of “OurEndeavor” (on YouTube) led the class. Prior to meeting up I downloaded the Geocaching App and made an account. We went to a couple locations that were near our rally… Continue reading Geocaching & Our Last Day at Quartzsite 2022
