Desert Sunshine

We escaped the cold of Massachusetts and flew to Yuma, Arizona for two weeks of sunshine and visiting with our winter friends at Westwind and Araby Acres.

We floated in the pool every day, sipped piña coladas, and soaked up much-needed Vitamin D. We spent a day in Mexico, shopping in Los Algodones, where Joe visited his dentist and we enjoyed lunch, live music, and beers before heading home. We read, Sarah painted, and we grew a few new freckles.

We found a new caretaker for Cornelia and said our goodbyes to our faithful RV home. She kept us safe and comfortable for four winters and we will miss her, but she is going to be well-loved by her new owner and will continue to live in the desert.

Winter in Yuma

This winter we were kept busy with puppy training, in addition to our usual schedule of fun in the sun with our snowbird pals. Most days, we would head to the pool around lunchtime for a floating visit with friends. Stories were spun and jokes were shared and we all had a good time not shoveling snow.

Joe golfed on a few occasions and thought about joining the pickleball craze, but they start playing at 8:00 a.m. which is way too early to be bouncing around competitively!

Sarah quilted, joined a crafty card-making group, and painted a bit. We both read a lot of books and on colder evenings, watched Arizona PBS Check, Please and Finding Your Roots.


We flew back east for a long weekend visit with our grandchild to watch the Super Bowl. A quick road trip to Newport Beach for Joe to attend his Football Dinner gave Journey a chance to stick her paws in the Pacific Ocean.

We are grateful for another winter in the southwest desert. Thanks to all who came to visit us this season!
