We've Settled in the Sunshine - July 2021

 Cabo !!

July brings us to Cabo!

Marina Fiesta in Downtown Cabo on the marina!

The weather was PERFECT !!

 Even the Geckos loved it all!

 

The Cabo marina is beautiful.

We found a “secret” pool at the hotel!  It was wonderful!

The marina at night was magical.

I LOVE MEXICO !!

The world famous arch at the very end of the Baja
What a fabulous trip!!

Back at home, we took our little trailer (Tiny) out for four days.
This outing was to Lake Havasu City.
It was incredibly hot but we had a good time.

This is a “before” picture of our porch
Railing to come…….

We love the new railing…. Just finishes off the porch.

New rocks in the front cactus garden.

The hot summer marches on…..

We've Settled in the Sunshine May 2020

 


Our last “at home concert” of the season……
Folks are heading out….


Our neighbor, Joe Frederickson.  What a character!

I guess we have been bitten by the “Wanderlust Bug”
We are missing the traveling lifestyle…..  so we bought a
“Tiny” little travel trailer.  

Just big enough to take out for a few days at a time…
We love it!


Now we can have our home in Yuma and our “Tiny” trailer too!


The sun always shines in Yuma!


Mothers Day flowers !   So beautiful!


A visit from Mike & Sheri Rand from Indio (on their way to Texas)
I got my dog fix….. such darling little Westies!

We went to Rio Bend RV in El Centro, California.


What a nice park….. We had a great time!
The pool was WONDERFUL !!!


Our “Winter Season” comes to a close……Summer is on it’s way!
