Yuma, AZ

My tattoo! Herb and Mary Joplin
Jack and I at Texas

Roadhouse for his birthday

The RV park in Yuma, the caretakers had a few animals and the turkeys were so cool.
There were ducks, geese turkeys, roosters and chickens.



We had a really hard time finding a place to stay in Yuma. We later heard that the valley RV parks where 98% full. We did finally find a place, not one I ever would have stopped at if I was just driving by, but it turned out just fine. Someone knew someone staying there and said it was a good place. We ended up staying for a month and met some really nice people. We met up with Herb and Mary Joplin. They were staying at the Yuma Army Proving Ground RV camp. They were there for a week while we were there and we had a really good time with them. Mary and I went shopping, we hit old ladies day (Monday morning) at Bealls Outlet. What a hoot. We got some really good buys and had a blast. We went over to Mexico and out to eat. They went out to dinner with us to celebrate Jack's 60th birthday. After they left we went back to Mexico and got our new eye glasses at 50% the U.S. cost and they were ready in 2 hours. We also picked up some of our meds and a huge discount.


Oh and I got a tattoo! There was a place in town and I saw some the work and I really liked the detail. It is on my ankle and the pic is the day after I got it so it was a little swollen.
Jack's brother Eddie and Sue came for a weekend. They brought their camper and we spent the weekend playing. Sue and I went to Mexico and the flea market. We went out to eat, Eddie likes to try and find authentic Mexican restaurants.

Nice tatt! Is it a rose? It's a little hard to tell in the picture. Looking forward to seeing it in person.
