HOT, HOT AND HOT............

and getting hotter in Old Yuma Town! Nearly broke 90 yesterday and the next few days doesn't look any better. Of course if it wasn't hot we'd be bitchin about the cold......hard to please us old farts.

Went down to the annual Lettuce Festival yesterday for a while........it used to be held on Main Street; but, this year it was moved from February to March and now it's being held at the old Army Quartermaster Depot. Difficult to find parking very close and there seemed to be fewer venders. Maybe someone stepped on their crank when they made changes......time will tell. We browsed the booths and displays for a little while and Becky found a place serving crab cakes.........I try to tell her that a land locked area isn't really the place to look for sea food delights; but, she tried one anyway. I didn't think it was that great, of course, if it isn't made with fresh dungness crab it can't be much good.

Went out to the casino after the festival to get our "fix" and lo and behold, we both left with some extra casino money.........enough for lunch and even a little for a rainy day.

Thursday Larry and Audrey took us all out to dinner at the Outback and we had a nice meal and lottsa pleasant conversation recalling our season geocaching adventures. Despite some medical bumps in the road we've had a good stay this year and it seems to have whizzed by much quicker than normal. Larry and Audrey may be leaving to head back to Portland next week.....it depends on what the weather is doing over some of the passes for them. We'll be in their area June to August so I'm sure we'll get together up North.

This afternoon Robert and Char are hosting a "Celebration of Life" event for one of our local cachers who passed away in January. A time for remembering, partaking of good food and saying our goodbyes to our friends in Yuma........some of whom we may see on the road and others we hope to see again in November.

Think I'll dust off the RZR and we'll drive it over to JJ's. Later...............if the heat doesn't melt us. W&B
