Where are we today ?
Early morning walkabout was able to watch the crop duster circling just above the tree tops in the campground, then a few minutes later a hot air balloon. Perfect weather for both activities. So nice to see.
Then an outing to wander about the Arizona Swap Meet and Flea Market a short distance from here. We have been here a few times and always fun to wander about the 32 acres in the shade with over 1,000 vendors (only about maybe 500 at this time of year, season is winding down) selling pretty well anything you might or might not need.
Got there a about 9:30am and just wandered about, checking out all the stuff we still don't need. But ya never know what could just jump out at your.

produce |
great entertainment in the food court |
To our surprise friends from Ontario jumped out at us, Yep we saw then at Pilot Knob and now the same day and same time at this Fleamarket almost 3,000 miles from home! Such a small world.
me, Suzie, John, Barb, Pat, and Rob took our pic. |
gas powered bicycle |
Now time to enjoy our books in the shade thinking about a light meal for supper. So Eventually fire up our Weber Q grill a couple hot dogs each.
All dressed up with peanut butter and the works, a few scoops and celery sticks sure hit the spot, easy, quick and a light meal.
That was it for our fun day, sure worked for us , hope you did alright too!
another different sunset |

We missed the swap meet....yet another reason to return to Yuma!
ReplyDeleteI sure enjoyed watching all the work being done in the fields.
Lotsa things to see and do here in this area, or just enjoy the weather.
DeleteWe went to the Mesa Swap meet and actually bought something. Some socks for Jim. Hard to believe the season is already winding down. Seems like we just got here.
ReplyDeleteLove the Mesa Swap meet too, but don't think we will make it there this year.
DeleteYes the time goes so fast.
Can't believe you went to the swap meet and didn't find a thing you had to have. You certainly must have a lot of will power!
ReplyDeleteNot much we need anymore, we have it all, but do enjoy looking around, fresh air and all.
DeleteFlea markets are always fun, and you never know what you'll find!
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to look maybe find something new.
DeleteLove the Yuma Swap Meet. Puzzled that one can walk away without buying something, but my big question is this: Peanut butter and hot dogs??????
ReplyDeleteWe do a lot of swap meets, and live in our coach so not much we need. We do buy paperbacks, but more expensive here than we like to pay.
DeletePeanut butter is good with lots of things, some people like ketchup, not me.
Looks like a fun day. That's a hot dog concoction I've never seen.
ReplyDeleteWorks good for me, have been using it for years.
DeleteThose evil cheese fries looked awfully good. Surprised you actually eat food that is not cooked on your Weber grill... :cD
ReplyDeleteOh yes they were sooo tatsy!
DeleteSometimes we do eat other things too. Hard to make good fries on the Weber.
Yuma is one of our favorite fleas.
ReplyDeleteWe always enjoy it here too.
DeleteLoved that bike, it would fun to have one. We gave away our Mexican bikes but still do have a set up in Canada.
ReplyDeleteYes it sure would be a fun bike to have,
DeleteMade for a great day, as for the chili fries we all have to indulge once in a while they looked delicious. That would be a neat bike to have especially on the days we feel a bit lazy. Going to have to treat myself to a hot dog with peanut butter again soon your making me hungry. Hope you and Suzie have a awesome weekend! ( P.S.) So neat the way you meet up with folks you know in so many places.
ReplyDeleteGot you hooked on the peanut butter hot dogs I see.
DeleteYou guys have a great weekend too, enjoying this wonderful weather.
Seem we just run into people everywhere lately, is fun.
Yes George you have me hooked on those peanut butter dogs but that's a good thing! Have a great evening my friend.
DeleteGreat pics. I love swap meets.
ReplyDeleteSwap meets are cheap entertainment, especially when we don't buy anything.
DeleteLooks like simply a great day George...love the market at Yuma...pure entertainment!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun place to wander about.
