Another fun day here with friends played games and another feast we enjoyed,

Where are we today ? 
 a pic to enlarge it
        Thursday already, where does the time go? 2 Days after Christmas.Still wonderful sunny days, though a bit cooler, but a heck of a lot nicer than back home. As long as the sun shines we get what we need. I made a quick trip to Yuma for a few groceries at 7:30 this morning, stopped at Harbor Freight and got myself a new corded reversible drill for 20 bucks (my cordless has died after almost 30 years, and then around the corner to Home Depot to pick up some Christmas lights on sale a 100 lights on a string for .98 cents, the old ones only 1/2 of them work, mind you I have had them over 20 years.
the sun rising as I headed into Yuma
my new drill and lights a good deal
I don;;t use the drill much but I needed one this week
and was lucky enough to borrow Robs for a bit
back to Camp nice blue sunny skies
      Then at 9:30 this morning we went to play Bocce Ball. Rob, Pat, Bill, Patsy, Ron. Suzie and I. We played 3 of the 5 games and Suzie and I each won one game with our partners, Pretty good for first time players.
       It was quite chilly for a while but nice in the sun , just dressed little warmer playing our here for 2 hours working up an appetite for lunch.
Suzie taking her first shot
Pat's form
Patsy the old pro here
this is a fun game fresh air , exercise and comradery 
           Then just because we can and having worked up an appetite we headed into Lin's Buffet in Yuma that we really enjoy. We discovered it back in about 2008  and really love the selections, of fresh foods and the lunchtime price less than 10 dollars each for seniors. For a 1 pm lunch with the same bunch as Christmas dinner including Jean and Skip.  The 10 of us got a nice table and the service great, heck we served ourselves at the never ending buffet. So many wonderful dishes and great choices, constantly refreshing the foods. I know I had my fill, 4 plates, they are not that big, breakfast, lunch , supper and desert.
we do enjoy this buffet
eating and yapping for a good 90 minutes until we had our fill.
this my breakfast Salad and a Chicken wing 
lunch: hot N Sour soup, Sushi, chicken wing, and chicken finger
Supper, Shrimp, Mussels, fried fish, egg roll,,rice,
spicy chicken
I don't do sweets much so this is my desert: shrimp, ss chicken,
chicken wing, Lo mien, rice, broccoli, chicken dumpling.
         Now we returned home by 3 pm and enjoyed some sunny reading time outside until 5 pm out of the wind was quite comfortable, Thermometer showed 73F but a cool breeze. The fresh dry air felt good.
        Time to head inside reading a bit more and of course no supper, already had that earlier today. All this eating has to stop soon,  but sure tastes too good. Sure will be glad when this festive season winds down a bit, another week and we should be back to almost normal eating again.
          Reading inside as the sun is setting out our dining room window. we do enjoy the desert views here.
       Thank y"all for tagging along and hope you had a wonderful day as well.

    1. Yes Kevin I know that quite well, we are in the States, still a great deal for a treat. Sure beats The Kings Buffet inn London Ontario is $21,95 CAD last time we were there.

  2. For sure nobody goes home hungry from Lin's. Nice find at Harbor Freight, that's a good price on a drill that should last you for awhile.

    1. Lins has a great selection for sure, That drill will come in handy when I need one and did not cost me a fortune.

  3. Some great buys you found there George. Lunch looked wonderful. A very nice selection. You folks all looked pretty wrapped up there while playing this morning. Amazing what the wind can do isn't it?

    1. I thought the drill was a great deal. This is a wonderful buffet so much to choose from. It was a sunny day , but quite chilly in the shade and cool breeze really drops the temperature.

    1. It was a great day all around, nice sunny weather, only 50f at 5 am but as long as the sun is shining it will be wonderful. No rain, maybe 60 F today with a cold north wind. You should head this way.

  5. Pretty sunset pictures once again, I do miss those when we are home at Christmas. We enjoy the Mongolian BBQ at Lin's. And we also have to start eating better when we get home :-)

    1. I had the Mongolian BBQ, very good, when we went there a couple of times, but I wanted to sample all the other goodies and then no room left. All that tasty food over the holidays, was good but not so good for us.

    1. Yes all this wonderful food. This overeating is hard to resist. Lin's is a great place to enjoy this kind of food though.

  8. Have to try Linns when I am in Yuma. Looks really good. Only problem is I don't have the will power you do. I would also end up having supper.

  9. I can only say that you certainly eat well :) Great deal on the drill and lights, although I might have splurged and bought a second set of those lights.
