We've Settled in the Sunshine - Mike & Janet - April 2023

 I Think Summer has arrived

The mountains are beautiful with all of the wildflowers.

On a Jeep ride, Mike got pictures of these wild burros.

The famous “bra & pantie tree” out in the desert.

Even the cactus are in bloom

My flowers outside of our porch are loving the sun!

 Mike sponsored a friend into the
Elks….. We had a great lunch and now Rick is on his way to becoming an Elk. 

We had a visit from some old friends from Outdoor Resorts in Indio…..
Ken and Janet Zitterer nice lunch and a great visit

We took “Tiny” (the trailer) up to Parker CA on the
Colorado River.  Fun trip!

Emerald Cove was a very nice campground.

The Tiki Bar and the swimming pools were very nice.

The weather was great.

Another night of Karaoke here at Country Roads.
I think the singers are getting better…..better than at the first of the season  😊

 April is coming to a close.
A really fun month.

Summer is coming.
I LOVE THE SUN !!

 

We've Settled in the Sunshine - Mike & Janet - February & March 2023

Two months have gone by…..

Short recap –

February 2^nd was Mike’s 76 Birthday! – Wow – how he is getting so old?

We left for Nashville for Anna’s Gymnastics competition…
She was awesome and outstanding in the events!

We stayed at Gaylords Opryland Hotel – It was over the top
So Beautiful

We also went to the Country Music Hall of Fame
and the Belle Meade Equestrian Estate from the Civil War Era. 

 A wonderful Trip !

We met up with Kim and Alice from Outdoor Resorts in Indio and
Rick and Gina Murphy from ORI now Country Roads Yuma –
We had a fun lunch
Great to see old friends

Later in February, we went with the club on a convertible trip
to Parker, AZ…… crossed the Parker Dam
and then went in search of wild burros…  

 

March started out with the Marine Drum & Bugle Corps
in Yuma – Amazing !  A must see for sure!

Next our Convertible Club took a trip up to Martinez Lake
for lunch – A fun Convertible trip.

The Yuma Air Show was really fun.  Lot’s of planes
and lots of incredible pilots.  It was at the Marine Corps Air Station.

Absolutely FABULOUS news !!

Mike had a PET scan to find out if his treatments had taken care
of the cancer in his neck.

Absolutely NO signs of any cancer!

The best news ever !!

Pat & Rollie in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade

 

Our Materials Girls group made stuffed bears for kids in Yuma.
They are also given to the Alzheimer patients.

Quite a few street parties – Folks are starting to leave for the summer
Traffic in Yuma is slowing down.

Our Convertible Group had a two night “overnighter” to Laughlin, Nevada

And what would a trip to Laughlin be without a jaunt up to Oatman.
Oatman is a very old mining town in the hills.

Lots of gift shops – it is where the burro’s come down from the hills
to harass the visitors.  😊

Oatman is also known as part of Route 66

Weather on the way home was perfect for a “Tops down” ride.
