Making Things Right, Feeling Better

Yuma Lakes RV Resort

On Monday, Oct. 27th we woke up feeling better about 'things'. Thank you to all commenters, callers and FB friends showing concern. As for being positive, believe it or not, we are. It throws us for a loop when things happen (over and over) and we feel defeated. 

Good morning!

In the moment, we don't take time to process before reacting and we come together, talk about and come to terms with it all. We know things could be worse, and we are fortunate in many ways. We also believe we'll get through it. Thank you for your support.

Another clear sky day

So, today, I slept in until after the boys had been up and out. When I woke after a great sleep and dreams, I remained where I was until 7. Bill and I had a plan after research yesterday and he put that to fruition after breakfast. 

Bill and Gibbs order tires

After finding the tires we want to order, he visited the tire shop in Yuma that would be installing them for us. When he came home, our hope restored, he ordered the tires on the website. Yes, it was an unexpected expense, a big one, but we'll use the newest tire to go on the rim for a spare tire.

Vegetables in various stages
all around the outskirts of Yuma

Because they would not be delivered to the shop for 6 days, it meant touching base with our park in Quartzsite and extending our stay here. With that settled, we took my grocery list of things we 'needed' to get by and drove back into town. 

For one of the Durham Golden Girls,
saw these at Sam's Club today.
No, I didn't buy them.

We renewed our membership at Sam's Club, got Gibbs' dog food and a few grocery items there. We drove to the Allpoint atm at Target in Yuma Palms to get some cash out, then to Home Depot for a small bit of tubing for the water line to the fridge that got damaged and finally to Fry's for groceries.

The choppers were loud as they
flew over us

It really only took a couple of hours and we were home again to Gibbs, restocked. My mood is not up enough yet to think 'pool' but I'm sure before we leave, we'll get there. It is also extremely hot to be sitting outside anyway. 

The sun was setting when Gibbs and 
I went for our walk before supper.

We had lunch and relaxed. Bill and Gibbs had their snooze and I browsed through my Google photos, cleaning up folders on my laptop. Last night, my phone started popping up with virus protection ads saying my phone was infected. I have turned it off and that's hard!

court
Games don't start until Nov. 1st

It hasn't cleared up so I am unable to do much on it before it gets interrupted. Anyway, on our way home from town, 2 marine choppers went overhead and were coming directly at us. Bill stopped Black Beauty so I could get a picture or two. They are impressive.

There are a lot of empty sites
but it is early still.

I watched a movie upstairs before supper and then we had meat pies. They hit the spot with a piece of French bread from Fry's. The bread is not like RoadRunner grocery makes in Quartzsite but it was still good. Bill cleared the dishes and we settled for the evening.

Just a meat pie but it
was good and easy.

It was another hot day here in Yuma, 90F/30C, so we stayed indoors again for the afternoon. 

It's not the best picture, but
this is the first time I've seen quail
here in this park.

At least it cools down late afternoon so Gibbs is getting out for his walks, which means we are too. 😉 We closed the night out watching The Road together. You can catch Bill's blog here.

Good night!

Thank you for stopping by.
