Its Been a Week Already!

I can hardly believe it has been a week...its almost scary how fast time seems to be flying by.We made the day trip back to Tucson last Wednesday. Our morning walks have changed just a little...instead of the sweet smell of fresh celery, we are treated to the sweet smell of orange blossoms.







Our weather here has been really nice except for a day of winds up to 25 mph. I do love it when we can have all the windows open and enjoy a nice breeze.

M&G hook-up from MH to Jeep

First "to do" was have the M&G brake system installed. Joe delivered Pearl to Jeff Fisher early Thursday morning. It was an all day job. Belle (our MH) was at Fisher's early Friday morning for the last install. This system replaces a brake buddy that "bit the dust". Joe had done lots of research, talked with others, and decided the M&G was what he wanted long before the brake buddy died. Ease when hooking up is a huge plus with the M&G. There is nothing in the Jeep, only this one connection from MH to Jeep.

Also, this week I got a new job. I am now the official tire cover "putter oner". We ordered these new tire covers. It just got to the point that we never put on the old ones we had because they were really a pain.

 Now, I can do that job all by myself in less than 5 minutes! And Joe really likes how they twist up (like a sun visor we have in Pearl) and store in a small black bag.

 

I like how neat they look! We met Roger Hunckler here in Tucson back in January. He is the owner of Magne Shade. Joe has added the magne shades to his wish list. If interested...check it out at www.magneshade.com.

We did make a trip to Lowes...my favorite store! I am so lucky because Joe loves Lowes too! Imagine that.

 Can you believe spring is just around the corner?




I spent the entire time there in the garden center. I do love flowers...

I actually was on a mission to study cactus gardens. We seem to be spending a lot of time in the desert so I figure a cactus garden on the picnic table is in order. There sure is a variety of succulents.

Tah-dah!

I don't usually have my camera at Lowes, but we also went to Sabino Canyon Recreation Area in the Coronado National Forest.

We needed information and maps for some outdoor fun. Cant wait to hit some trails. We also want to check out the Madera Canyon area. 


Joe had a visit to the dermatologist this past Monday. He had a few "places" frozen...so... either tomorrow or Friday...we are pulling out the hiking boots and heading outside.

How did this little guy know it was my birthday today? I was treated to a birthday song this morning. And Joe sang to me too and we even had lunch at Mi Nidito with our next door neighbor Randy....just about the best Mexican food EVER!

Life is good...until next time, take care and...

 

enjoy!

It Was a Blast!

Cocopah RV Resort
Yuma, AZ
February 5 - March 5, 2014

Our time in Yuma has come and gone. Time flies when you're having fun...

Our puppies had a great time too! 

I'm really going to miss our walks there...

 

 

I don't know the name of this little guy, but he was very interested in the clanging noise made by the flag on the flagpole.

 

Sure gave me a chuckle...what a way to start the day!

 

And speaking of starting the day...every morning we welcomed the sun rising and the sweet smell of fresh celery from the field behind us...

 

 

...or the clean smell of freshly plowed dirt as we walked to the doggie park.

 

 

 

We were never lacking in something to do or somewhere we wanted to go. Cooper was a real trooper. In fact I nicknamed him Trooper Cooper. He endured dusty rides in Pearl, hikes,

 

 

and being left alone while we enjoyed margaritas and tacos in Algodones AGAIN!!

 

 

Joe and I were more than pleasantly surprised at how scenic Yuma and the surrounding area is. Between the Colorado River, the desert, historical sites, and farm lands, I was never lacking in opportunities to photograph this beautiful land we call our home. 

 

 

 

In addition to all the exploring, we had many nice evenings sharing dinner with Ronnie and Carol. Ronnie can sure cook some lip smacking, fall off the bone yummy ribs!

 

There were no goodbyes this morning...instead, hugs and  "until next time"...

 

"safe travels" and...

 

enjoy!
