We Bought the Farm Today!

I don't think I'm going to grow tired of these African Daisies.  This is how they look early in the morning.

We didn't buy the Farm today, but it's actually more like we enjoyed a day at the "From the Farm" market and restaurant in Yuma, AZ at mile marker 38 

on Highway 95.

Our friend, Sheila has been helping us get to know the area better and took us today to see the sights and have lunch at From the Farm.  It's only about 20 minutes away and we had a great lunch and also bought fresh produce.

I had a chicken taco with broccoli cheese soup and tea.  It was pretty good, but the soup could have been a bit warmer.

 Sheila doesn't like her picture taken, but she always looks so nice and has been such a blessing to us.  She is the sister of Jim who owns the RV Park.

It was warm enough to eat outside and Craig enjoyed his Chili and a Hot Dog with lemonade.

Some of the food is made at this outdoor grilling station.

There's quite a blend of antiques and "uniques" (I made that up)!  We enjoyed looking at some of the clever ways to use old household items and then laughed at some funny signs.

They were busy preparing for an outdoor wedding for tomorrow.  There's an outside area that has a covered tent area with seating and the fireplace and even a fish pond.

We picked up some very nice looking fresh produce.

This is Bill and he was very entertaining with his descriptions of the food and just enjoying conversation.

We spent some time seeing sights around "old Yuma" and going to a couple of grocery stores.  Thanks for a fun outing, Sheila!

The sun was out when we got back.  We took a long walk and a few photos of those same Daisies that were now completely open.  We saw hummingbirds enjoying their beauty, too.

We can hear the gentle rain falling on our rooftop again tonight.  I think all the bad weather is supposed to move out in time for the Super Bowl Game on Sunday in Phoenix.

Blessings,

Kathy

Blooms in the Desert

We have been enjoying the friends we have made at Tier Drop RV Park in Wellton, AZ and also the beauty of the area.

 The is my garden on wheels.  It has traveled with us this past year and is starting to bloom again.

 Fields of onions.

We have had some days of soft showers and it's unusual for the desert, but it produces some wonderful blooms.

 Gardens close to our RV spot. They surround the pool and Rec Hall area.

I lost my Aunt Georgia this month.  She would have been 97 on Jan 31st.  Praying for all of her family. She was my Dad's last living sibling and a great lady and will be missed.  She has the same Birthday as our good friend, Jim Valentine, who just came through surgery to open an artery and we want to wish him a very speedy and full recovery and many Birthday Blessing.

Love and blessings,

Kathy

Hoosiers

It's been a fun couple of weeks having our friends here from North Salem, Indiana. Their dog, Polly, keeps a close watch on everything.  It looks like she is going to drive the motorhome away. Polly loves for you to throw the tennis ball for her and so far, we wear out before she does.

Ron and Carolyn have a very large and nice Class A.  This is Ron and Craig solving the problems of the world.  Have you noticed how much better things are?

Things around Tier Drop RV Park are blooming.

Several people have fruit trees growing in the Park.  Al and Sandy picked one of these off their tree.  It was huge and delicious.

The Park had a Chili Cook Off and here is the Park owner giving out the prizes.  It was a night of very good food.

The little town of Wellton hosts a Tractor Pull and engine show.  We spent a few hours there enjoying the old engines, cars and the good food.

Carolyn, Craig and Ron. 

All types of engines were on display and some were in beautiful condition.  There was also a large Swap Meet of old parts of all kinds.  There was a very large crowd with all sorts of activities going on for young and old.

Some of the cars on display.

On Monday the six of us drove to a parking lot on the US side and then walked across the border to Los Algodones, Mexico.  So many Americans go there for dental work, glasses and prescription medications.  

Roy bought a new pair of glasses that were ready in two hours.  While we were waiting for them, Roy, Ron, Carolyn and Julie got hair cuts and Craig and I just enjoyed people watching.  It was a warm and sunny day.

We also had a nice Mexican lunch (that did take a long time) while we listened to some live music.

Ron, Carolyn, Julie, Roy and Craig.  

Every shop and store caters to the Americans that stream across the border daily.  We enjoyed the day.  We had to stand in a very long line to walk through the border crossing.

We have been eating suppers together in the Park on a regular basis.  The three women have been taking turns and pooling food items.  We came up with enough tables and chairs to seat all of us and have had some great food and fun together.  They will be pulling out of the Park tomorrow morning to head to Quartsite for the HUGE RV Rally.  We are hoping to meet them down the road somewhere as they will be staying in the southwest until the winter turns to spring in Indiana.

What a glorious sunset we enjoyed tonight.

Blessings,

Kathy
