Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope your day is everything you want it to be! My Valentine went way above and beyond in the gift department! I got flowers, chocolates and a card! We have tickets to a show tonight here at the Palms, a Las Vegas Act, Three Faces of Elvis, so will have plenty of music and entertainment. Now they say when you're when your with your honey and it's real love, you can feel the earth move!

Well, 3:10 this morning.... we were all snuggled in and snoozin' when the blinds rattled and the coach shook and we swayed back and forth! Yes my friends, a 5.0 Earthquake! KayCee sat straight up and barked. So that was my "Earth Moving" experience on Valentine's Day! Not too much real exciting happenings here in Yuma. We have been having a great time with friends from the Escapees Group that have lingered here around Yuma for awhile. Last week we toured the Martha's Garden Medjool Date Farm.
It was just as interesting this year and it was when I went last year. This family has operated this farm for over 20 years and have increased the number of Date producing Palm Trees to over 8,000.
I am fascinated with the agriculture and how labor intensive these food sources are from this part of the country.

On the back side of the Date farm, we stopped for a wonderful view of some of the valley's lush and fertile farm ground, where the different varieties of lettuce are ready for harvest.


We stopped in their store and sampled a "Date Shake" and bought some dates to bring home. Then we came back here to our place and had appetizers and sandwiches on the patio. Sunday we gathered at Famous Daves BBQ at the Yuma Palms Mall.

A good time was had by all and we left with really full tummies! Tomorrow will be the next meeting at Steve and Carols and probably the last meeting until somewhere else down the road in the future.

It has been sunny here for the most part, but really not pool weather. The wind is a strong breeze and has been blowing every day!

DH got our TV set up in the basement and we had Happy Hour at our place last night and we had a Wii Bowling Tournament.

It's amazing how much fun we can have! Some of our neighbors are getting restless and branching out with side trips now.

Our next door neighbors are leaving tonight after the show to Palm Springs for a week.

The folks next to them are leaving in the morning for Las Vegas for a week. I have "hitch itch" too, but will wait until the first of March to branch out. We will go to San Diego and up to Carlsbad for a few days, then over to Casa Grande for a few days to visit with friends.
