Spent the last 2 weeks of September with my youngest daughter and family in Oregon. Son in law had back surgery. Thank goodness he is doing much, much better. Will take a bit to recover from a month of pain and little activity. Did get a chance to visit with some family and friends while I was "home" plus soccer game and gymnastic meet.
Came home to cooler weather (high 90's) and more snowbirds returning.

Bingo
9 residents of Desert Paradise went to bingo at Paradise Casino last night. A week ago Wes won over $1,000. Norma goes in the mornings and she often wins, and a couple weeks ago I won $90. Well it wasn't our night. All we took home was a good time and a buy in won by Trudy. But I am sure will will try again.
Had a good visit with Patrick, Chris and Autumn a couple weeks ago.
Snowbirds are starting to return.

4th of July
Well our plans went out the window. Had planned on going to the Scorpion's Baseball game with fireworks after, but it is forcasted to be 118 degrees today so cancel that. They have a heat advisory to not be out between 10am and 5pm. Sounds like a good idea.
We had new carpet layed on our deck yesterday. It is very nearly the same color but not raveling and giving the birds good nesting material (they thought our awning would be a short commute to build their nests).
I am washing all the bedding, sheets, mattress cover, pillows etc and hanging them out on the line. Might as well use that 118 degrees for something.

Wheeeew what a day.....
I am working full time for 2 1/2 weeks while the lead worker in our office visits family. Had to reconsile the Master Card the manager uses to make purchases, get the electric bills out, then about 3:30pm two very nice looking young ladies walk in and say, hello we are the auditors.
Well I call the offsite manager to notify him (he has been our manager for about a year) our office manager of about a year left 2 months ago to manage another park so there is only Cyndi (the lead worker) and I left in our office. Cyndi has had some extra time lately so has gone through things and "organized" and purged them.
Quite a few things they were looking for I nor the manager were able to produce. Then they asked to have me open the safe...! Well the ex office manager had changed proceedure and money collected for ice, fax or copies was put in a envalope and "stuff" was paid out of it. (I had said it needed to be posted like we had previously done but she said NO.) Well it is biting us. Then we take a deposit for a mail box key (returning it when people leave and turn in key) again auditors said no can do, but in the past two audits I have been through we explained and got it okayed. No longer so I have to post all the money tomarrow. Then they found an envelope with $1. no label nothing..try to explaine that.
Tomarrow is another day and it will be better...but why did I take my vacation last month ago.

What do you love/hate?
Love/Hate with the 5 senses
LOVE:
the SIGHT of the sun rising or setting.
the SMELL of clean line dried sheets on the bed.
the TASTE of a margarita.
the SOUND of the ocean.
the FEEL of the sun on my face.
HATE:
the SIGHT of plastic bags littering the road sides and fields.
the SMELL of trout/salmon frying.
the TASTE of nothing, does this have anything to do with my weight.
the SOUND of the phone at 2 o'clock in the morning.
the FEEL of I have forgot to do something but not sure what.

Oregon Visit
Arrived back in Yuma about 5:30pm yesterday. Had a very good trip home (Thank You PATTY for the directions, made every highway change with no problem.) Yes I love my new car, it drives like a dream.
A good visit with daughter and family in Oregon. Got to see Dominick play basketball and 2 soccar games. What a guard he is, never saw hand/arms move so fast. Saw parts of 3 of Savannah's gymnastic practice. Really enjoyed all except the vault that she hyperextended her knee and spent the next half hour laying on the mat with ice packs. She was back practicing 2 days later but did not do ALL the things that had hard landing (but most!)
Spent Mothers Day with Patty and family plus Aaron's parents and brother. Nice phone call from Chris and family also.
Had lunch with with 2 aunts and uncles, stopped by and saw another aunt. Did cards and dinner with brother and wife, lunch and shopping with my sister.
But it is nice to be back home (Did miss Don who came home 6 days earlier than I did.
