Larry spent most of the morning cleaning the BBQ Grill. It is so clean you could lick the inside with your tongue!!

We drove up to LaMesa RV to check on the parts they ordered for our repair scheduled for the 26th. With past experience, you have to keep hounding these people to make sure the parts are ordered and are there the day of service. All has been ordered so hopefully one trip down to the service will take care of our problem with the slide-out.

We went on into Yuma and stopped at Chilli's for lunch. Jerry and Jan sent me a gift card for my birthday so used it for our lunch. When our bill came we could not believe the total. Our food was $18 and we had 2 beer each and the beer was $19!!! How unbelievable that 4 bottles of beer were $4.50 each!! We have had beer in almost every restaurant in the area and never paid more than $2.50 to $3.00 each. This will be our last visit to Chilli's for awhile!

We exchanged a couple of items and back by Walmart for a few items. We were gone most of the afternoon. When we pulled into the RV Park Judy, Jan and Ken were setting outside and we stopped to say hi. Ken had asked Larry this morning about us coming over for 'happy hour' this afternoon so they all said they were just waiting for the party to begin.

We drove on to the motor home and put everything from Walmart away and grabbed our beer and walked over to the Jackson's. Pat(Jan and Judy's sister)and husband left this morning for home so I told Jan and Judy I was waiting to put my name on their 'dance cards'. They said they were actually glad to see Pat leave as she wanted to run the roads every day and they were worn out.

I took 2 small bottles of White Russians over for Jan and Judy as they are not beer drinkers. We drank the beer we took with us and Ken kept pulling another bottle for all of us out of frig. I think we each drank about 4 or 5 each before leaving---And I wonder why my cloths are getting tight??? This was in addition to the 2 that I drank at Chilli's. By the time I get home I'll be back to my original weight which was bordering on 200!!! I do enjoy our 'happy hours'! We had so much fun setting on the deck and talking and laughing as we always do with this group. They are such amazing people and we feel like they are family as they are all so warm and friendly!

Leslie called while we were at the Jackson's and said she went out and checked on the house and nothing seemed out of place and our resident bum was alive and well. She teases us all the time about the bum that lives in our basement each time we travel! She also said it was raining really hard and was nasty weather most of the day.

We finally stumbled home and I was not long out of bed, however I neither had a headache or a buzz on from the beer. Must have been an unusual day for my body.
