RC Cars, Welcome Back, Chick-Fil-A, December 07, 2022

The park has a RC car track, they meet at 9 Wednesdays – we are here to watch them race.  We are surprised at how many participants there are, these are just a few

Kissing to make up? 

Onward to Winter Visitors Welcome Bash.  No idea what this is but we are game!

Turns out it’s a lot of vendors giving away stuff.  Pretty busy, lots of people

Santa says to Allan “You are on one of two lists!”  Let’s guess which one he’s one!!!

Our loot as laid out when we got home.  The best part, is the thermal bags.  The one we have from Newmarket Hydro has seen way better days!

*** Take note of the jello shots! ***

Next…  Neither of us have been to Chick-Fil-A (or In-N-Out Burger another on our hit list).  Today is the day for the Chick!

We both declare the burgers & whaffle fries delicious!10 things to try to say without sounding sarcastic: 1. That’s great 2. Good for you 3. Have fun 4. Fascinating 5. Thanks for that 6. Well done you 7. Good luck with that 8. Sounds thrilling 9. What a shame 10. Wow

Not sure I agree with these but perhaps I should stop the “good for you”

Howling at the Moon, December’s full moon

Street Party, December 05, 2022

We are now official residents.  We traded in our temp badges for the real thing We lucked out, our street. Ingrid Bergman has “this street only”, pot luck events.  Advent Day 5:  Allan deems this better than yesterday’s brew.  Love the different wine bottle names

Today’s is caroling, raising Frosty and feasting!

The organizers, Wendy & Frank 

                                    We meet so many new people! Fortunately, the name tags help keeping it straight.  

Caroling….    Aren’t we fabulous!

Go Frosty go ☃️☃️☃️

This will be followed by the park’s Christmas Cart Parade.  This is a little sampling

End the evening in the hot tub!  Then we watch a few episodes of “Highway to Hell”  Even more fun because we’ve been on it, in sun & snow.

 Another full day comes to an end.

Move to Sun Vista, Site 879 & December, so far! 2022

Dec 01 – Advent Calendar Begin Day!!   A wonderful day!!

Dec 02 – Move Day!, !  This is officially, our shortest drive to a new park day. 11 minutes down the road

Goodbye Western Sands, It’s been a productive month! As I’m following Allan I spot???  Yep, undies wanting to escape the dryer vent.

Hello Sun Vista RV Resort., site 879. Entrance is little different, the guard will protect us againt all evil!  Or will he?  He is observant, he did mention the undies in the vent 😃

Allan goes through the gate, my turn.. the guard says, Allan said you’d pay and side bar, “look at those panties”.  He figured it out right away, are we not the first to have vent exposure?

Our street         

We are all stars here!  All set up!

I will miss the view from Bailey of Telegraph Hill.  It reminded me everyday I was super woman to have made it up to the top!

Advent day 2, Allan liked yesterday’s beer betterIt’s now time to head downtown to rescue Santa. missing from his sleigh

Lots of vendors & entertainment, this was a high school choir. This is my present from Allan!! “MK” for my crocs!  Love it!!My own Santa!  🎅 

Before saving Santa, dinner!!  Meatball sandwiches. yummy!!

Dinner done, off to rescue Santa.  There he is high onto of city hall!  Oh boy!!

Looks like us rescuers will need a bit of assistance.  Here they are!

A first for us!  Never saw Santa needing fire engine assistance!  A fun evening ending in the We both thought this was a little one compared to our last park.  Wrong this is much huge-er!  It has crazy jets that shoots the water out of the tub!

Dec 03 – First rain since we’ve been in Yuma, results in flash back to Vancouer Island rains 

Still, we’re BCers rain can not deter us!

The locals know who aren’t, we’re the ones wearing 🌧️ coats.  As the Sunniest Place in the World, Yuma has an average of 308 sunny days per year… that’s 4,000 hours of pure  Vitamin D! Off to the Yuma Christmas Extravaganza

Seems it may have detered others though, wasn’t quite an extravaganza

Back home to our advent calendars

My wine is delicious, Allan deems his beer… drinkable!

❤️ the sunsets   

Dec 04 – In & Around the Park

Trees decorated by various groups in the park

Some of the available activities, a little mind boggling

Exercise bikes!  Didn’t get me any steps = I’ll stick to walking

Fun Park includes a huge RC car track, we’ll have to pop by when they are racing, Monday’s 9am.  We don’t do early very well nowadaysThey have a fire pit here, may have to have a fire one day.  Another cool thing is they separate dog owners, our area is no dogs.  Kind of nice not to hear yappy puppies.

Today’s advent offerings.  Allan thought this was a better Indian Pale Ale, I think he’s anxious to be done with pale ales.

Our first dinner on our charcoal grill, AKA Joey since, it feels like, forever.  They did not allow grills in the previous park.

Chef Allan did not lose this touch!  Steaks cut like butter!❤️❤️Love this face ❤️❤️

 

 

 

 

Bailey’s New Flooring November 28, 2022

Two weeks ago, after an extensive search, we found.a mobile company to replace our flooring.  Carlos came by, quoted the install and left us a list of what to buy at Big Bob’s Flooring Outlet.

We set up the install for Monday to ensure the ordered items were in on time.  The install crew is to arrive between 9 & 10.

1030 still not crew, time to call.  Carlos answers, surprising me a bit, seems the issue was Big Bob’s could not find our order.

1112 Here they are   😀

We contacted an RV dealership who said it would take a week to complete..

Let the install begin,  Meet Jose and Chewy!

Fast Forward:  They were done in 13 hours!

Who’s the boss!   This guy!!

   Measure twice cut once

  The boss is on the lookout!

Click here for A little noisy!

Is this cut too large?   

Colours are similar so it’s hard to tell, but, boy do I know.  Happy to get rid of the mold and years of use!   New carpet is more plushy and springy.

                  Before                                                               After

Very pleased!  Happy we found these guys!!
