Good Day for a Birthday, Shopping, Dinner at Lin’s, Happy Hour


Yuma Lakes RV Resort, Yuma, AZ
It was Thursday, Dec. 12th. Today is our 3rd oldest grandson’s 18th birthday. There was a bit of a distraction from that though because in our own neighbourhood, we were celebrating our friend, Bob’s birthday too. Happy Birthday, Braeden, I hope it has been a fantastic day! We know he would have received our card by now.

The sky started out a lot like it ended

This is the Yuma Palms Estates
that I talked about yestrday
 I was up at 6 and in the shower immediately. Bill got up as I finished and we had our morning brew together while reading blogs. By the time we were finished, it was light enough for a walk. Once more I was pleasantly surprised when he put his shoes on and joined me. We had a lovely walk, around a wider perimeter of the park, down by the lake, out the main lane and around the block surrounding the park. We met Jo-Anne and Higgins at one point and walked together briefly.


Back home, Bill had some cereal and I had some oatmeal for breakfast. We had a plan to meet Ken and Kim at the Arizona Market after 9 but rather than sharing transportation with Bob and Jo-Anne, Bill and I said we would take two vehicles as we wanted to shop afterwards. That was true, but there was a bit of finagling on the sly involved there. We’d told Jo that we would pick up a cake for Bob’s special day on the way home.

These are a few more historic wagons in the park

Two shadows today. :)
We arrived at the market shortly after 9 and it was a typical market day. The sun was warm outside but inside under the tents and in the shade, it was quite cool. We had all dressed warmly enough and enjoyed perusing the vendors. Bill and I found a few things, including a blood pressure monitor. We’ve thought about it a few times but today, the price and the vendor was just right for us.

The Arizona Market when we left

Not jam packed in the parking lot
but more than when we arrived
 Bob and Jo-Anne left first to do some shopping of their own and we hung around for another 20 minutes or so. We said goodbye to Ken and Kim and invited them back to Yuma Lakes to pass time until dinner time. We relaxed until 1 and Bob drove us in to Lin’s in Yuma. K & K had to drive separately, again, too bad we can’t all fit in one vehicle. I enjoyed Lin’s much better today than previous times because I wasn’t so irresponsible with the food.



I had 2 plates of food and 1 of dessert, but my choices were more sensible and the plates not so full. It made a big difference in how I felt when we left. For a great price of $10.49 p.p. + a 10% discount for seniors, how can anyone complain about this lunch? 

1st serving
pork ribs, shrimp, chicken balls, seafood salad, ramon noodles & fish
and an enchilada

corn, octopus, stir fry beef, green beans, fried potatoes, zucchini
honey chicken, shrimp salad
Dessert
tapioca, peaches, jello, cherry bananas (for my buddy, Pat)
and a macaroon


Some of the others were quite full and uncomfortable so back at our site for Happy Hour, we just relaxed with a drink of some kind. Just before 4, Jo-Ann, Kim and I came to our Suite to get the cake out, cut and lit for Bob.

A nice friendly dinner for Bob
I don’t know if he was surprised when we came out singing Happy Birthday but I do know that by then we all magically found room for a piece of the fudgy cake. The ‘party’ broke up around 5 and Ken and Kim left for Pilot Knob before dark. Since we didn’t need supper, I took a bottle of water up to the puzzle room where I worked away for about an hour. It is coming together and between Mr. Puzzle (Don) and I, we are making headway.


I walked out and met Jo-Anne and Higgy in the area so we walked back together. It was so mild, still 66C, I do believe one of the mildest evenings we’ve had yet. We were expecting a full moon tonight but after the pretty pink sky performance, the clouds made that impossible to see.  


I picked up 3 more books from the shelves and brought them back for future reading. This was a fantastic day! I’m looking forward to line dancing in the morning and then after that……….probably a quiet day. Tonight, I needed a snack around 8 so cooked up some buttered popcorn. Yum, that hit the spot.

Happy Birthday, Bob
Good night from Yuma Lakes!
Thank you for popping by today! Your comments are always a treat for me to read.

  1. Good for you showing restraint at Lin's. I have NO willpower there.
    We just arrived at Yuma Lakes this afternoon. We'll be here until Sunday when we move to PK. I'm sure we'll meet up over the next couple of days. This is a really nice park. First time we've been here.

  2. Bob likes his cake I see. With a lunch the size you guys had, it's a wonder you could eat cake too. You can check out my blog for moon shots.

  3. That sounds like a great day all around. Happy birthday Bob! I do love the Arizona Market, but there seems to be less people. They have a great fabric guy there!! I haven't been to Lins, but it's on my list. Enchiladas? I thought it was Chinese food!! Good for you, not overeating. I always try to fill up on salad first!!

    1. You'd think it would be all Chinese but they had quite a variety. I try NOT to eat the salad, it isn't my favourite at all. :)

    1. Yes, Lin's was great and we were all quite hungry.
      The market tunnel (Good name for it!) was a live and learn lesson.
