Parade

We seem to be suckers for a parade and this one came within a block of Laurette & Craig's house . The occasion was a fundraising car show and BBQ to raise funds for Haiti.

Birthday girl

As usual my lovely bride got older on her birthday. This year she decided to go on a cabbage soup diet to start her on a weight loss program and her birthday landed right in the middle of it. Being unable to present her with a cake, her sister decided to put a candle that wouldn't blow out into a section of boiled cabbage. We sang happy birthday and otherwise celebrated as appropriately as ever.

settled in

We got settled in at Laurette & Craig's . Then I managed to get a picture of Craig pruning their mesquite tree with Laurette supervising then they were wore out and needed a rest. We went for an evening walk and got a picture of their street and the house just before sundown.

The road to Yuma

Louise was in such a hurry to get here the trip was just a blur

Well we made it down to Yuma to Laurette & Craig's in record time. Had a bit of snow in Jackpot, but other than that was a great trip. Nice to be here in the sunshine. They have a really nice place here in the foothills of Yuma. Looking forward to our month here. Will post more in a couple of weeks.

More house pictures

Mom had to check how her bedroom was remodelled and Allen was happy to be a Fireman.

The house pictures

Allen has been busy preparing the old house for demolition for some time now and it finally happened.

The old house

The old house came down just before we left for Yuma so I quickly went there with my camera.
