Long Weekend in Yuma, Arizona

I went for a nice visit to Yuma to stay with my Dad and Susan (all by myself!) I had never been to their house in Arizona before, and am so glad that I went. I was treated like royalty and so happy to see where they live.


I was able to escape the early spring weather of Colorado and step right into summer!! Though the temp says 99 -- it was FABULOUS!!

Pretty white legs, huh?? I was able to be in the pool early in the morning and actually got a nice start to my tan. I would just float around the pool while the "Cabana Boy" would serve me fresh strawberries and my drinks "pool-side."

Their back yard is so beautiful and lush -- like a jungle. They have made it so nice. The fun part is they have designed it so there is basically an entire outdoor living space -- complete with big a screen TV -- all their great music is piped out there and they even have "misters" to keep you cool.

Susan was worried that we wouldn't have enough to do (she's not much of a sitter!!) so I was VERY happy to fill her in on my "Girl's Camp Puffy Sleeve" project that I needed done and she said that she could whip those out in NO time!! I only needed 30 PAIRS!!! We went and bought the fabric -- she made some design changes -- and she proceeded to cut and sew while I floated in the pool on my raft!!! No that's what I call the way to get a project DONE!!

The "retirees" really have a rough life -- when they are not in the pool watching Oprah in the afternoon, they are trying to outdo each other on the Wii! Tennis is their main thing but Susan is the reining champ of all time on Wii fit -- hula hoop. Who would have ever guessed what goes on in YUMA!!

I love you guys -- thanks for a GREAT time!!

Now it's time for a visit to Castle Rock, Colorado!
