    Hey we had a bit of rain overnight. But then his morning the sun came out and we enjoyed a pretty nice day. Got my first walkabout around the park done by 8 am.
a nice cactus garden here
cool  decorations here too
           Then back home for another coffee and shortly after 9am we hopped in the car to check out the Arizona Marketplace , one of our favourite markets to explore,
this the place to go
       Nice to go on a Thursday no need to pay on the weekend  one dollar per person  and nice that is so quiet here early in the morning , We can walk the isles and talk to the vendors if we wish without the crowds yet.
lots of awning shades here for good prices
you want STUFF? they have it
lotsa room to roam and we did
good prices on produce as well
then Wally's World , deals to be had
want ice cream ? not yet
no crowds yet
need a slot machine ?
yup it is
    Then the entertainment is just starting, this guy is pretty good.
starting to get busy , soon we can leave
a deal on these Mineolas 5 lbs 3 bucks
that is all we bought today
love these
     Back home just after 11 am a light tasty lunch and relax outside under our awning on a wonderful warm sunny afternoon.
yup a very nice afternoon only 72 f but feels wonderful
life is good
     I enjoyed a nice hot shower, dumped our sewage and filled our fresh water tank while Suzie cleaned our coach and gave the floors a good cleaning with her spin mop she loves.
enjoying this FREE 3 nights with full hookups
and free wifi bonus 
    About 3 pm this Harley pulled up and stopped in front of our site, Has to be Henk Dorst, a blog follower that does not comment but has e mailed us for the last 5 years . Finally we get to meet him ! I believe he is from British Columbia Canada, Maybe Alberta, my memory is not that great. But he spends pretty well every winter in this area and we have been trying to hook up all these years, He met the Bayfield Bunch I think 2 years ago in Congress and has followed both of us. Actually the 4-5 of us.
this be Henk a single rv'er
looking for a nice companion to join him(female)
hope I did not say something wrong Henk.


    It was so nice to meet him after all these years and so much to talk about, well we flapped our gums for a couple of hours and enjoyed his company. He would love to travel east in Canada and explore SW Ontario where we hang out if he can find a place to stay (reasonable) of a while.
he has a ride he loves to do , and travels in a nice class A coach
 spending his winters here in the Yuma Area
Henk  (Henkster) and me
Suzie likes his ride too, but no bikini
he asked for
Henk heading out with a wave ,
nice to finally meet you.
      Soon after he was gone I whipped up supper, tonight a simple stir fry with 5 large shrimp each  we picked in yesterday in Mexico.
easy and quick
oh my, what a tasty feast we had
     Now I actually managed to catch a nice sunset here, behind the ballroom, ( I had to search for it) and did not disappoint .
       That was our fun last day here did what we wanted to do in the area and bonus meeting another blog follower. In the morning we heading on out slowly making our way east back home. First stop some nice quiet desert camping for a while .
      Glad that y'all dropping in for a visit and hope you had a great day as well.

  1. I've never gotten out of AZ Marketplace with just oranges. It's usually a big bag of stuff I didn't know I needed.
    Nice to meet a follower. I know we were thrilled to meet you and Suzie.
    Suzie looks great on the bike. You better keep her away from the mortorcycle shows or you'll be trailering one behind the motorhome, and no Saturn.

    1. We seldom buy anything there that is not edible, but always a fun market to explore
      It was fun finally meeting Henk and so many years of correspondence.
      I tried for a motorcycle but she would not go for it, so the Saturn will just have to do.

  2. Nice that you finally had the opportunity to meet up with the a blog follower.
    So evidently Tom and I arrived at the Arizona Market Place last Saturday before they started collecting the $1 to get in. On the way out Tom said it looked like people were being charged to go in and I guess they were. Being early birds we saved $2.00...LOL
