We were awake early again this morning. The cats cannot let
us sleep past 5:30. They expect their teaspoon of moist food
to be served up bright and early each morning and nothing
delays this event! I keep saying we need to try to reverse
their expectations by giving them their little treat of moist
food at bedtime but doubt they would ever get the idea that
the morning routine is no longer an option!
We both had showers this morning before leaving. I fear our
water supply and holding tanks are in need of a fill and a
dump so we may have to find an RV Park tonight and actually
pay for a camp site for the first time since leaving home!!
Larry bought more DEF(Diesel Exhaust Fuel) at Walmart and
added to the DEF Tank before leaving. The DEF is a fluid that
must be added to the newer diesel engines to cut down on
exhaust emissions. Not exactly sure the quota of DEF to
Diesel but believe it is around 2 percent DEF to Diesel. All
I know is it is a 'must have' and if it runs out the engine
shuts down until it is supplied. Another wonderful use of
money for the motor home(or Diesel Truck) owner!
We left Amarillo around 6:30am and headed west on route 40 to
Las Cruces, NM. The sky is pretty overcast and the wind is
pretty strong. By the time we got to Albuquerque we started
traveling in moderate rain. We would drive for a few miles in
the rain and then for a short time the sun would come out so
basically we drove in rain and patches of sun all the way to
Las Cruces.
We called the KOA in Las Cruces to reserve a camp site for
tonight. We stay at there almost every year at least for a
day or two. It's a beautiful campground and sets up above the
city of Las Cruces. We also called Las Quintes in Yuma to
find out if we can just pull into our RV site in case we
arrive on Sunday and they told us that would be fine.
We arrived at the KOA in Las Cruces around 3:30 and got the
motor home set up and I cleaned inside as I could no longer
stand the dirt and cat hair. The rain held off until we were
all set up and then it rained again but the temperature is
very mild and at 6:00 it was still 64 degrees. Las Cruces is
located in a valley with mountains all around so it stays
warmer than some of the other areas in New Mexico.
I made meatloaf a couple of days ago and froze it so that is
going to be the meal of the night. It's good to be hooked
into the water and sewer as it makes everything much easier
when cooking and cleaning.
Not sure if we are going to stay here another day or head to
Yuma tomorrow. Guess that decision will be made tomorrow.
Yuma should be a pretty easy drive tomorrow. Will be good to
get where we are going a chill out for awhile.

We left Las Cruces around 7:00am this morning and drove in the rain most of the day. As we drove into Arizona the sun came out and it was pleasantly warm. After we left Tucson, we drove in rain off and on until we reached Yuma.
We arrived at Las Quentas Oasis about 3:30 and drove about 550 miles. I should say that Larry drove and I read and relaxed, which has been our roles since leaving home. I have offered to drive but he enjoys it and I don't!
When we drove into the resort, we saw Ken Jackson and stopped quickly to say hello. Ken and Judy Jackson and Judy's sister Jan Norfolk, are friends from Canada that we met here last year and Judy and I have kept in touch all year.
We found our RV site and as we were unhooking the car dolly, Ken came over to help us get the motor home backed in. He is such a terrific guy and he and Larry really enjoy each other.
Larry worked on getting things set up outside and I cleaned the inside enough to put everything back in place. Later Jan, Judy and Ken came over and we sat outside and had beer and visited for a long time. I so enjoy all of them. Judy is so much fun as she says what she thinks and you never have to guess at where you stand with her. She is also very witty and keeps us laughing. She had to share a funny story regarding their travel down from Canada. Last year she got chewed out here in the resort for driving too fast and we really had fun teasing her about it for a ong time. On the trip here this year, she was driving and they were coming through El Centro, CA and she got pulled over for driving too slow on the highway. Jan almost got them in trouble with the police because she could not quit laughing when she found out why they were stopped. Judy said it was very windy and dusty and she was having a hard time seeing so she was following another car and was driving about 57 mph. The police told her that the speed limit was 70 and she was expected to drive the speed limit or higher. We almost split laughing about this and of course no one could tell the story like Judy!
David and Cynthia whom we were parked next to last year were on Security Duty tonight so we got to talk with them as they drove by our site. Cynthia and I have also communicated all year since we left for home. She is such a great person and I really enjoy her as well.
Our next door neighbor is Wayne and Evelyn and are also Canadians. We meet them and talked a long time last night as well. Of course as with every RV Resort in Arizona, the majority of the residence are Canadian. Most of them are great people and we have befriended many in the last 5 years. Larry had met Wayne while we were here last year and they were in a motor home parked near us. Wayne told me that they ended up buying the 5th wheel they are living in before leaving last year and they leave it here all year. They got a terrific buy on the RV so he said it was much cheaper than driving their motor home down. The price of diesel is so high that we could probably do the same and wouldn't cost any more than what we pay to travel in motor home.
After Jan, Judy and Ken left we drove over to Appleby's and had a sandwich for dinner. We had not had a lot to eat all day so we were starved by the time we ate.
Leslie and Pete have been going through a fertility doctor and last week they went to Rockford to the clinic to have eggs harvested for fertilization. Since they have been home Leslie has been very sick with nausea and her stomach is huge from bloating. The doctor gave her enough medication for 6 shots that cost $1000 and she was to take daily. My understanding was it would help reduce the fluid and bloating but each day her stomach has increased more. She finally went into the ER yesterday as she was also having difficulty breathing. The ER did a sonogram and gave her 3 bags of saline because they said she was dehydrated. They told her she had many pockets of fluid around her internal organs and also some fluid in one lung. They talked about doing aspirations but the pockets were numerous and small so they said she could risk infection if they aspirated. They wanted to admit her but she said all they were going to do is give her pain meds and more saline so she decided to come home. They have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning so possibly he will decide he best route of treatment.I am very worried about her and have debated on getting a flight home. I will wait until they find out more tomorrow.
By the time we walked out of Appleby's tonight it was raining pretty heavy. It was still raining when we went to bed but the forecast is for sun and higher temperatures this week.

Leslie called early this morning and is still feeling terrible. They have an appointment this morning with the fertility doctor at 10:00am. They are both very upset about yesterday's stay in the ER as they were never allowed to talk to the doctor directly. They have many questions that they plan to get some direct answers to today.
I started laundry and Larry went to resort office to pay our rent and to ask them to send the maintenance men down to trim the tree behind our RV as it is hanging over the wall from the neighbors yard and rubbing against the motor home. The guys showed up and cut a huge portion of the tree off so we may have some unhappy neighbors when they find out. Larry called to make an appointment to have the RV washed and waxed and they are coming tomorrow. We washed the RV in Red Bay, AL before we left but drove through rain and dust and it is very dirty again,
I started thinking about where I put our passports and looked for them for an hour. I'm thinking I must not have grabbed them when we left home. This is not good since we have dental appointments in Los Algodones on Feb. 12. I drove myself crazy trying to remember if I brought them or not. Since Leslie and Pete are not in a position to go out to house to look for them, Larry called his sister, Carol to ask if she would go to the house to look. She said they were coming to Peoria tomorrow and go by the house and check for them. I certainly hope they are there because I don't think they are here. This will drive me crazy until I know for sure.
Pete sent us a text message to say that the doctor admitted Leslie into Methodist Hospital when he saw her this morning. They are going to give her pain and nausea medication to try to help her feel better. I hope they can make her more comfortable as she has really been miserable since last Wednesday.
Larry went to grocery store and we planned to grill tonight but the temperature dropped and the wind was very strong so I cooked dinner inside tonight.
Judy Jackson came over to visit because Jan was cooking tonight and she decided to remove herself from the kitchen. Later her older sister Pat came to tell her dinner was ready. We had not met Pat, who is here staying in the resort for a month with her husband. The 3 sisters are all very close and we found that Pat was just an older version of Judy as she is also very witty and fun to talk to.
Pete called to say they had aspirated 3 liters of fluid from Leslie so she was feeling better tonight. The doctor told them that this is not unusual and that within 48 hours she should be feeling better and her system would start eliminating the fluid on it's own. What a miserable time she has had since last Wednesday. I pray things will turn around soon for her.
I saw on Facebook that my friend Cathy posted that they had 74 degrees in Missouri today. I did not want to tell her that it was 10 degrees warmer there than it is here. The forecast is predicting much warmer temperatures for the rest of this week. Hopefully the wind will cease as well.

We had the motor home power washed and waxed this morning. It looks really beautiful. It was very dirty from the drive in the rain from Red Bay, AL.
Leslie called this morning. They aspirated the fluid on Monday but she said she can feel she is bloated back up again this morning. The doctor told her it will be at least another 48 hours before her body starts eliminating the excess fluid on it's own. She has been so sick and I feel so sorry for her. I hate being away when they are going through such a horrible time. She is not sure if they will release her to go home today or not but I told her she needs to stay until she starts getting some relief. She has had a lot of shoulder pain and shortness of breath. The xrays showed she had a small amount of fluid in her lungs as well.
We walked up to the club house about 11:15 for the weekly Burger Bash here at the resort. On the way up, we stopped and visited for awhile with Judy and Ken Jackson. They and Jan(Judy's sister) bought a park model here in the resort, which is very close to our RV Site. It is a beautiful place with a nice covered deck and an Arizona Room. The bank in Canada told them the money had been wired but the bank here in Yuma has not yet received. I know how frustrating this is as we dealt with the same thing when we bought our motor homes here in Arizona. It's like they are sending the money from outer space as it seems to take forever to arrive.
We walked on up to club house and had a hamburger and salad for lunch. The food is always good and is cheap. We were almost through eating when the entertainment began, From past experience, we know the entertainment is nothing we want to hear. The band is made up of residents from the resort and are quite talented but their choice of music is horrible. They always play country but from an era probably preceding my father's generation. I hate the songs and we always want to get the 'Hell out of Dodge' every time they start up!
We went to Walgreen's to pick up a prescription and while there I bought 'Icy Hot' patches for my back and some ZertecD. I cannot seem to kick this cold since leaving home but now am wondering if it is my annual Arizona sinus infection as my ears are hurting and I'm having daily headaches. My back is hurting so bad just below my shoulder blade and I really believe it is from coughing so hard. Each year I see a doctor here in Arizona and they always tell me to start on the ZertecD and give me Amocillian. I have a bottle of Amocillian that I bought in Mexico so will start it in a few days if Zertec does not help.
We got a phone call from Carole, Larry's sister, saying they found our passports at home. Thank God! I have driven myself crazy in the past 2 days trying to find them here in RV. I was almost certain I had brought them. I woke at 3:00am this morning and came out in the living room as I thought of another place to check for them. Thank you Carole and Ed for taking the time to look for them at the house! You truly saved my sanity!!!
We made a trip to Wally World, the first since arriving in Yuma. As always we buy more than intented, which is why Walmart is so successful. After we left we decided to eat at a Chinese Buffet by Walmart. The food was very good and abundant as all Chinese food restaurants seem to be. I left the restaurant with enough food left for my lunch tomorrow.

Today was a beautiful day. It reached about 67 degrees and the winds were very light so it felt like a perfect day.
Leslie called early this morning saying they removed another 3 liters of fluid from her last night. Hopefully she will start eliminating the fluid on her own within the next couple of days. She also said her IV got dislodged and the saline was going under the tissue and her arm was very swollen this morning. Nothing seems to go right when in the hospital! She also said the doctor is planning to let her go home later today and if she needs the fluid aspirated again she can come back as an outpatient.
We worked around the motor home today and Larry dug out the rope lights which I put around our palm tree next to the patio. He also put together the lighted ornamental palm tree which I put in front of the motor home. Most of the residence here in the resort have lights of some type on their site and at night it looks very pretty.
Larry talked to Ken today and they still have not received their money to complete their transaction on the park model they purchased. He said Judy and Jan were at the bank trying to find out where the money went that their Canadian Bank said was wired to the bank in Yuma. How frustrating this has been for them!
The cats enjoyed most of their day being outside since the weather was so beautiful. If they are not outside, they are inside sleeping the day away. Such a life!
Tomorrow it is suppose to be warmer and through the weekend as well. January and part of February is always a mixture of weather here but at least we do not have to shovel snow!
Leslie sent a text message around 4:30 this afternoon saying they were releasing her from hospital. I know she will feel much better.

Leslie called early this morning and got us out of bed. She always forgets that our time is an hour earlier than home. She is feeling a little better this morning and said she was up several times to the bathroom, which means she must be starting to eliminate the fluid on her own.
Pete was gone to take the dogs to 'doggy daycare'. They love going, especially in the winter when they do not get out much. Leslie said the dogs were both so excited to get home last night. Memo was staying with Pete's sister, Mary, and Ava was staying with his brother Pascal.
We went to the flea market in Yuma today. We found a few items to spend our money on as usual. I found Mr. Snodgrass, the man who sells the Jojoba oil that I depend on while here for my excessively dry skin. I bough a large bottle for $35. It is not cheap but really moisturizes my skin. It can also be used on my hair, which also suffers from the dry air while here.
We had lunch at In-and-Out Burger. I think we have both decided that their are better choices for hamburgers. In the past several years we have enjoyed the burgers but either our taste has changed or the burgers have.
When we came home from the flea market, we saw we have a new neighbor. A 5th Wheel is parked on our patio side of RV. We no longer have our private little spot! Judy came down to visit and while she was here, Dan, the owner of the 5th Wheel, came over to introduce himself. We sat on the patio and drank beer and talked for a long time. It is a small world because he knew exactly where Judy lives as he has a friend who live very close to them, He also remembered going to the grocery store that Judy, Ken and Jan owned. They sat and talked about mutual friends they both know. Dan and his wife are Canadian and are from Alberta.
The weather today was beautiful. It got up to 69 degrees and when we came back to the motor home after being gone all day, it was quite warm inside. I think the cats enjoy the heat as they were both sacked out and dead to the world. They have such a simple life!
I called Jan and Jerry Twedell tonight since we haven't talked to them much. Jan sent me an email earlier this week which I made a long reply to and when I sent it for some reason it did not send. I figured I would call rather than set and type the stupid reply again! I sometimes get crazy with technology!
We had dinner and after cleaning up the mess, I felt really tired so I went to bed early and read for awhile. These 5:00 mornings are catching up with me as I seem to be ready for bed earlier each night,

After getting my shower this morning I walked up to take a book to Jan that she wanted to read. When I got there Judy and Ken were leaving to go to the bank again to try to find out what has happened to the money their bank in Canada wired to the Yuma Bank. They have really had a frustrating week trying to get money from their Canadian account to finish the purchase of the park model they bought here in the resort. I visited with Jan for an hour or more. I love all three of these people as they have seemed like family since the day we met.
Came back to RV and helped Larry put up the sunscreen on our outdoor awning. We bought stakes at the flea market yesterday to hold the tie down straps on the awning and the sunscreen but were short on the number we bought.
We went to Al's RV as they are having a sale today and we wanted to buy roof covers for our roof fans. Al's was packed with customers and when we finally found someone to help us we found they only had one in stock. The salesman told us they would get more in on Wednesday and we could still get them at the sale price. We put in our name and will go back Wednesday to pick up.
We went back to the flea market to buy more stakes for the sunscreen and then stopped at Walmart to pick up groceries. While we were out, we went ahead and ate our lunch/dinner since we had not eat today. So another lucky day that I do not have to cook dinner!
When we got to the resort we stopped to check our mail and found our passports that Larry's sister sent earlier this week. Thank Goodness we received them without a problem.
We came home and Dan and Wanda, our new neighbors came over for a beer and we sat out on the patio and visited. We had not met Wanda yet and she was very nice and we really enjoyed visiting.
The weather was perfect today and the temperature was around 76. The weekend is suppose to be more of the same. Tomorrow is the Mardri Gras down in Old Town Yuma. We went last year and they had great entertainment and food. Hopefully we will get time to go down for awhile tomorrow.
Came back to RV and helped Larry put up the sunscreen on our outdoor awning. We bought stakes at the flea market yesterday to hold the tie down straps on the awning and the sunscreen but were short on the number we bought.
We went to Al's RV as they are having a sale today and we wanted to buy roof covers for our roof fans. Al's was packed with customers and when we finally found someone to help us we found they only had one in stock. The salesman told us they would get more in on Wednesday and we could still get them at the sale price. We put in our name and will go back Wednesday to pick up.
We went back to the flea market to buy more stakes for the sunscreen and then stopped at Walmart to pick up groceries. While we were out, we went ahead and ate our lunch/dinner since we had not eat today. So another lucky day that I do not have to cook dinner!
