Rv Friends and fellow bloggers here for a while so nice to see them, again.

Where are we today ?


        Another great sunny warm day what can we not like about this? Yep it's the desert and cold at night. But by mid morning the intense sun comes in and we are good to go. The weather says 62 f  but with no wind or clouds it can get very hot in the sun.
      So shortly after 8 am I whipped into Yuma, pick up another slab of pork ribs to put in our freezer. We now have 3 more rib meals total cost for 4 meals  $12.00 US dollars ($16.63 Canadian) $2.08 per portion Canadian dollars, sure can't beat that.
     Then I went to find some fresh Cranberries, Fry's no, Walmart no, but Albertson's still had some (season is done now). Want to make some fresh Cranberry and orange zest sauce to go with our Turkey Breast for supper tonight. Recipe is HERE . or on my recipe blog to right sidebar.
      At this Walmart there was about 15 of these buses parked here, The field workers inside picking up their food for the day and lunches.
note the Porta potti s in the trailers behind. 
       Back home and a walkabout the park with Suzie. Stopped by to visit our friends (Denis and Sandie)  fellow full timers and bloggers we met many years ago on the road. Their blog is Happy Trails click Here  . Don't think we have seen them since we were in Florida 3-4 years ago. They upgraded their coach not long ago and we just had to go check it out. Wow, that sure is and upgrade. what an amazing rig it is and of course they got a good deal on it too.
amazing rig
      Let them go and head home for a light lunch then some  e-reading in the hot afternoon sun. Even though the weather channel says 62f this is what our thermometer reads in the sun. This is why we love the desert here, even when it's not hot it is.

           Yesterday I picked up a Turkey breast for us to cook, we love turkey breast and looked like a pretty decent price. 6lbs for $10.37 US dollars. Well I thawed it out and this thing is HUGE! Bone in and had to lay it on it's side to close the lid on our Weber Q.
        So figured 2-3 hours low and slow on the Q shortly after 2 pm. and could smell it cooking all afternoon , wonderful !
       Denis and Sandie dropped by for  "Happy Hour" around 3 pm we chatted some more and got caught up. So nice to catch up with friends on the road again.
That's us, me, Suzie, Sandie and Denis
       After a great visit they headed home to whip up their supper and I made a salad to go with our Turkey and Cranberry orange zest sauce.,
oh so good
we had a feast an lotsa leftovers,plus I boiled
 the carcass for some Turkey soup tomorrow
       Now that was another great day here in southern California, excellent warm, sunny, dry and no bugs weather that we love. Not only that no crowds our traffic.
       Thanks for stopping by and if you around drop by in the afternoon or anytime, we usually here.

Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Fall and Winter..

  3. Glad you're having a great time in the desert. The wide open spaces will soon find other RVs in them but it's short lived. Hope the weather stays nice for you.

  7. For being relaxed and retired, you surely keep your days filled up with activities! You're starting to make the Energizer Bunny look like a rusty old Model T! :cD
