Good day in Yuma

Yesterday we went to the Arizona Market Place with Bettie and James, friends we met last year. It's always a good day when we are all together. We did go our separate ways for a bit since we each had our own agendas.

Mark and I like to look around at nothing in particular and things that we wish we had room for. Like the beautiful brass, finely tuned windchimes. We never miss a chance to hear them and wish there was a way. My favorite is to stop at Java Gypsy's for a white chocolate, caramel frappe topped with whipped cream. OMG, she makes the best frappe ever. Mark is quite adventurous and has a black coffee which always has a top that leaks. He says the coffee is good in spite of the leaky top.

There is a fresh produce vendor that we always stop at to get some fruit or veggie that is fresh out of the field/grove. This time we got 6 nice grapefruit for $2. Their cauliflower was the size of a soccer ball.

Around 1:30 we headed to The Eatery for a late lunch or early supper. The food there is always very good and the service is always great. The waitress we had today was really full of the dickens and we all laughed and shared in the jocularity.

After arriving home, we let Miss Lola out and loaded up our one empty propane tank to be filled. We filled the gas tank on the truck as well and then went for a ride on the other side of the foothills. We had never been in that area before and it was a whole other world. A lot more RV resorts and year round RV homes. Not much for towns though. And the towns that were there were nothing to invite you to the area. It was a fun drive and I'm sure Lola enjoyed a different view. She is a great traveler but most days it would get too warm in the truck to leave her is we should decide to stop somewhere. So sadly she usually has to stay at home.

Tonight is NYE and we have no plans of going anywhere. I will be making a special supper of some kind for us and maybe a few cocktails. The older we got the closer to home we have stayed other than having a nice supper out with friends now and then. Tonight is no exception. But either way the new year will come, with or without any celebration.

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2019!!!!!!!
