Happy Valentine's Day, we had fun together on a rainy day.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
         Just another great nights sleep , milder again as well  it 58 F at 4 am but never seemed to get much warmer all day.
Happy Valentine's Day Suzie
because she loves Chocolates and Roses
a tiny Rose plant our wedding was all about Roses
          Right after she got up I headed into town at 6:15 to pick up some needed groceries, at Fry's then, Alberstons and some deals at Walmart. Nice at this time day no crowds and very little traffic. I was home shortly after 8 am.
          Then about 9:30 Suzie and I headed out on the rainy day, she actually wanted to do some shopping! First stop at Sketcher's outlets in Yuma for a pair of shoes she has been wanting for a long time. At home in Canada there at $89.99 a pair. well she found them here on sale second pair half price so she got 2 pair for $80.00 US ($106. CDN) still an awesome deal now she finally has them, so very comfortable. Well not quite yet they had to order her size in and will be here in the campground in a week. She has had one pair for many years and really loved them. So if she wants good comfortable shoes they are worth it ?
this is a very nice store lots of selctions
      From here a quick trip to the Goodwill store. She hates shopping so in and out in 5 minutes. Then a quick stop at Walmart she looking for something else ok 10 minutes here.
         Now because it is Valentines Day we thought a treat for lunch. At The Chicken (used to be Chicken on the Run). Wow love their excellent broasted chicken and found they had moved 500 yards down the road to a much bigger place at 12471 S Frontage Rd, Yuma, AZ 85367  Their menu still the same a family run restaurant (their menu here) with 3 large dining areas. We got there at 11:30 seated right away. A busy place 2 dining rooms full but one we were in lots of tables. we were served right away. They are working on a new Web page so not available yet.
right out front their Chicken
      And of course lots of chicken decorations all over.
our dining room nice and quiet
     They do have an awesome sounding buffet that we did not know about. great price too.
       We had our food cooked to order and were finished eating by 12 noon. We each got the 3 piece chicken with 2 sides. Each meal $7.99. Now they do have a very extensive menu from burgers, to fish , Ruebens etc, and a full breakfast menu as well Open 6  am till 8 pm fast friendly service Good as always.
mine with fries and baked beans
Suzie fries and coleslaw
       Now we had a wonderful Valentine's Day lunch and our main meal for the day. It was so tasty.
       Back home shortly after 12:30, still raining so a quiet peaceful most of the rest of the day relaxing and reading inside.
       Then just before 4 pm we got a bit of sunshine, and temps got to 65 F. So outside we go with our chairs to read for a bit then Kim and Ken walked on by and joined us for Happy Hour. Compared our days and shared stories of our travels. Always fun to chat with these guys. And then just after 5 pm the skies darkened and wind picked up,  and began a light rain again. Ok, that's it. At least we did enjoy a nice hour or so outside. They headed home and we back inside.
it was a nice time outside for a while
nice to see Kim and Ken dropping by
for HH and compare notes 
then the skies darkened and winds picked up
       No supper tonight needed today just a light snack of some popcorn and share an apple while watching a movie or something on the tube to wind down our day.
       We enjoyed our wonderful Valentine's Day here together as we do every day. 
       Thanks for dropping on by and hope you're day was a good one as well.

  5. Happy Valentine's Day! Nice looking lunch. Actually I think Suzie did very well on the shoes. That's even a good price for ONE pair of good shoes and to get two, that's just amazing. We didn't see any sun today, only clouds and rain, rain, rain and more rain.
