The many faces of the "Desert"? as you go from wet to dry on a 4-wheel trip to one of the many mines in the area. Last night we went to an Antique Car Parade of nearly 1,000 cars and then in two weeks we go to the Blue Angels farewell show as they do their Winter training 50 miles from here. Marine Base tours and Air Show, wonderful hiking and biking trails, Camel Farm, unlimited Grapefruit, Oranges, Lemons, Lettuce, Broccoli etc. grown here, Mexico 20 minutes away, fabulous neighbors, every Restaurant you can name, Awesome Swap Meet, (for those inclined 3 Casinos), huge Mall, lots of golf courses and of course sunshine, sunshine sunshine! Now you know why we are here! COME SEE US!

Just a few shots of our time here in Yuma. We have awesome sunsets and even tho this year has been on the cooler side it is still in the 70's and sunshine. Roger filled his "Desert Hot Tub" and we are letting the sun do its thing in warming it up. We love being here and keeping the old bones warm but we miss our family and friends back home in Oregon, Washington , Idaho & Utah. Happy Birthday once again to all our family who have had Birthdays and Anniversaries while we have been gone. I think we have remembered most of you with either a phone call or email, but if we missed anyone just know we love you and love getting your updates by email and blogs and especailly phone calls. Family is what it is all about and we are so proud of ours, so give yourselves a big pat on the back for being so awesome! Love Ya
