The weather was very mild early this morning, warmer than normal. The clouds moved in overnight and looks like we could have rain. We were suppose to have the motor home washed and waxed today but Larry called and cancelled and rescheduled for Monday. Looking at the forecast, Monday looks like rain as well.
I texted Taylor this morning and she sent back a message that she woke up sick early this morning. I hope that clears up soon as well. She has such a struggle with her Thyroid issues that she does not need something that will throw that off balance again!
Talked to Leslie about whether she had started receiving our mail and as of yesterday nothing has been forwarded to them. Larry had to order his prescription drugs and we have been waiting for them to be delivered to Pete and Leslie. We called the post office on Glen Ave in Peoria to find out if there was a problem with the forwarding. They checked and said it was finally in the system and delivery should start today or Monday. Normally we pay to have our mail bundled and mailed to Arizona but since we are planning to move a couple of times this year, decided to ask Leslie to send the important items to us.
We went to the Yuma Marketplace, which is an indoor flea market. It was not as large as the one in Mesa but had a lot of the same items. We looked around for about two hours and I bought myself a Pandora Bracelet. I looked at these when we were in Florida but did not buy it there. I told Larry he is off the hook for a birthday gift, which pleased him!
We left the marketplace and grabbed lunch. In the Yuma Mall parking lot there was a small farmer's market going on. We walked through the vendor booths and bought some radish's and a small watermelon.
After leaving the mall we headed to another flea market that one of the vender's told us about. When we found it I was amazed that the vender's were actually paying for a spot to sell such junk. I think most of the vender's were from Mexico and the items they were trying to sell were just horrible. Even in Los Algodnes, the items for sale at the street markets are very up class compared to this place. The market was just huge and the items offered were so old and nasty they would have had to pay me to take them home. A lot of the vender's were selling silk flowers that were so faded and dirty I can't imagine anyone even looking at them. This was defiantly NOT the flea market items that are offered at Mesa.
The weather actually cleared up after we left the RV park this morning but by the time we got home, the wind was horrible. It was gusting against the motor home and the dust in the air was pretty bad. Another thing I dislike about Arizona is the dust storms. I wouldn't call today a dust storm but the dust was pretty heavy. I think this is what sets off my allergies. Last year while in Mesa, I made five trips to the doctor for allergy issues. I'm hoping to avoid the problems I had before. I talked to Dr. Adams before leaving home about how to avoid this year and he gave me some instructions of what to take if I started having issues.
We came home and cooked in again tonight.
