Spokane, WA

 I will miss my Galefriend and our morning coffee time.

 See our new hair color!

 And just being silly with her!

I always have a blast with my sweet Galefriend.  What a wonderful visit!

 Pretending I know what I'm doing.

 Gale signing her masterpiece.

 The finished work.

The proud (well not me) artists and their creations.

Jill (the true artist) taught us how to paint with our imaginations. 

We put as many of our favorite colors on the canvas and spread it around.

Once the colors were on, you stand back and look at it like you are looking at clouds.

Find the object and paint it!  It was fun, but my project will be staying in Spokane,

and may find its way to the burn pile.  Gale's and Jill's turned out awesome.  

I won't be taking up painting as a hobby anytime soon.  

But we had some great laughs and I got to meet Jill

Yuma, AZ

Every Saturday The Palms has a burger bash.

For $3.50 you get a burger, chips, and all the beer and soda you can drink.

 This is the ballroom where they have dances, activities and parties.

 Tables set up outside for eating

 Our chefs for this Saturday (all volunteers)

 One of the beer tables, all us old people drank them out of beer today.  About 3 kegs.

 Good thing I have 4 hands.  hahahahaha

This is where we drank our beers today.  

Picacho State Recreation Area, CA

Took a drive out to Picacho State Park in CA, looking for wild burros.  The drive out was 19 miles on a gravel road.  The terrain changed so much on the drive from flat desert to rocky hills and ended up at the Colorado River with green all around.  No burros on the drive out, but tons of droppings.  With how much droppings we saw, we expected to come across a herd of 50 or more at each turn.  No luck.  As we drove out of the recreation area "eagle eye" Terry spotted a few up on a hill.  We were beginning to think someone cleaned their barn out and just dumped it all over the road.

Imperial County, CA

Valley of the Names

This was amazing - just a short drive outside of Yuma.  People spell out their names and messages with rocks.  It started about 50 years ago.  The oldest one we found was done in 1966.  There must be over 1000 of them scattered over the small hills.  What amazed us the most was that no one has destroyed them.  We plan to go back with some grocery bags to gather rocks to spell out our names.  Stay tuned for a picture of that in the future.

Yuma, AZ

 We went patio furniture shopping to make our area more homey

 and have more seating for guests, since we will be in Yuma for 6 months.

Unbelievable! It fit!

Terry enjoying our new patio furniture.  

No we won't be taking it in the motorhome when we leave Yuma.

We found a place to store it for around $25 a month when we aren't in Yuma.

Tucson, AZ

 The Joint - best adjustment I've had in a long time

 The adjusting tables

Terry waiting his turn

Not the best pictures, but Terry and I went to the coolest chiropractor office.  All open with 6 tables you go back and sit and wait your turn.  $20 for an adjustment, the Dr was able to unlock my frozen shoulder.  We went 2 days in a row, we were both in bad shape.  We will go back again when we go back to Tucson.
