Turkey Day Over...........

so here's wishing everyone had their fill of turkey, dressing, smushed taters, gravy, etc. etc. I know we did.........except Becky who couldn't scoff up on the dressing because of her gluten free style of eating. Not to worry, I polished off enough for both of us.

This year we headed out to Josh and Megans, JJ & Chars kids. A bunch of people from both sides of the family showed up and Becky and I were the "token" snowbirds. More food than you could ever imagine............two turkeys, ham and someone even brought a prime rib......plus all the traditional goodies. Everything was delish and I thought the prime rib was outstanding! Becky pigged out on that and licked her platter clean.

We ate outdoors as the weather was most agreeable..........until the sun started to drop below the house line, then it began cooling down pretty quickly. We weren't too far from the Cocopah casino as Josh and Megan live South of Yuma in the countryside so we said our thank you's and goodbye and made the mistake of visiting Cocopah.

Someday I'll learn to stop gambling when I'm ahead...........no matter how little the amount is.........well maybe. Anyway, we made our contribution and came on home. Gotta set the alarm for midnight so we can join in on the Midnight Madness at the local emporiums............yeah right. I told Becky she could join in the festivities; but, don't wake me.

No shopping for me.........might venture out later as I'm in the market for a new laptop. Have the cable company coming tomorrow so we can get hooked up to cable internet. That outta be nice as our old air card from Sprint really slows down in Yuma. Last year they let me put the air card on vacation while we were down here so that will offset the cost of cable. And, don't have to sign a contract.....just month to month hookup.

Have been doing a little bit of caching with JJ on Sundays. Last Sunday we headed to Californy and picked up about 115 or so caches. My old left knee paid the price on Monday and Tuesday; but, doing OK now. JJ and another friend left after Turkey Time for Las Vegas where they'll spend the night and then on to Rachel, Nevada where they'll spend 2 1/2 days or so hunting down the 1500 + caches on the ET Highway. They said I could go along and just "drive"..........even that wasn't enough to tempt me. Temps expected to range from 30s to low 50s.........that ain't for me!

Other than caching we've been eating out, "shopping", took in a couple of movies; but, we haven't gotten hooked on BINGO...........yet. Later if anything happens. Expect temps to jump up into low 80s after the upcoming weekend. W&B
