Murder Mystery Dinner at CVR
Carefree Village Resort decided to put on a Murder Mystery Dinner this year. I had no idea how these worked when I signed us up. Unfortunately, there was a mandatory meeting December 27, the day after our grandkids arrived, that I totally spaced. In fact, I didn’t think of it till we were driving home… Continue reading Murder Mystery Dinner at CVR
Isaac & Mona Arrive Dec 26!
Isaac and Mona came for a visit with Nana and Papa! They arrived the day after Christmas and stayed through New Year’s Day. As always, we were thrilled to have them with us for extended time. We have so much fun playing, doing puzzles, reading books, swimming, biking, etc. with them. We definitely keep them… Continue reading Isaac & Mona Arrive Dec 26!
A Quiet Christmas
December 2021 was our first Christmas in our Yuma home. It was fun to decorate without going overboard. We were keeping everything simple, and equally important – simple to store for the majority of the year. Barry and I agreed we were not going to get each other a present just because it was Christmas.… Continue reading A Quiet Christmas
Quartzsite Rally – Meal Test Run
There are various channels of YouTube RVers that Barry and I follow. Several of them we have met in person. The couple of “The Next Exit”, Bob and Pearl Caddel, recently bought a home a few miles from us in the Yuma Foothills. They have organized a boon-docking get-together in Quartzsite the last three years.… Continue reading Quartzsite Rally – Meal Test Run

I’ve never had anything like this before, so I took a picture of it and sent it to my dentist in Escondido. They told me it was infection trying to… Continue reading Dental Journey to Mexico
FALL Visitors
We’re having overnight company from Washington! How exciting! October 2021, Barry’s sister, Debbie, and her husband Jack flew from Seattle to Phoenix to attend a concert. The next day they drove to Yuma to spend two nights with us. We were excited to have them stay with us, and to be able to share our… Continue reading FALL Visitors
Decorating for Fall & Christmas!
FALL 2021 While our new magical patio lights will be our major touch of color for all seasons and holidays, I decided to decorate lightly inside for fall. We are not going crazy with a bunch of stuff to store in the off season. Barry and I agree that LESS is More! Hobby Lobby has… Continue reading Decorating for Fall & Christmas!
Back Home from Summer Travels!
September 29, we made it back to Yuma to our home-sweet-home base. Wow! It felt good to come “home”. We were very pleased with how little dust made it inside! Covering all the furniture may have been overkill since the blinds were all closed and there were the sunshade screens attached on the outside of… Continue reading Back Home from Summer Travels!
Time with Isaac and Mona – September 2021
We were able to start and end our September stay in the Chula Vista area by having Isaac and Mona for three days! There’s nothing better than extended time with these two! Using the 2-inch latex topper from our bed for a bed on the floor for the kids worked great again. There is just… Continue reading Time with Isaac and Mona – September 2021
