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

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!
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

Washington Visit Part 3: Quality Time with a Few Friends
KEEPING MY VISIT LOW KEY:All states have basically opened up from the pandemic, but the world is still dealing with Covid-19 (and new variants). Most people are not wearing masks anymore whether vaccinated or not. I am not vaccinated due to personal concerns of immediate and long term effects, therefore, I need to be careful.… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 3: Quality Time with a Few Friends
Washington Visit Part 2: Treasured Time with Abby & Richard
I rode home with Abby after the BBQ and was able to spend about two weeks with her in Shoreline. While she worked from home during the day, I spent most of her work hours playing pickleball at Yost Park (which was only 4 miles away), and running errands. Before or after dinner we often… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 2: Treasured Time with Abby & Richard
Washington Visit Part 1: Arrival and Arlie’s 2021 BBQ
We took the scenic drive from Seaside to Tacoma/Lakewood…of course. LOL It was actually a very pleasant drive. Although there was one point when I noticed a deer at the edge of the road that was a bit unnerving. I tapped the break to slow down and Barry said he braced for impact, but she… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 1: Arrival and Arlie’s 2021 BBQ
