Today was the garage sale here in the resort. I was getting ready to take a walk through to see what kind of junk was out that I could not live without when Larry came home from his walk. He told me not to bother as he checked out several sales while walking and it all was truly JUNK!
Larry stopped and talked with Ken this morning but the gals were off shopping already. I did not see either Judy or Jan all day so they must have found plenty to spend their money on. Judy and Jan both are taking a quilting class on Tuesday and had invited me to sign up and go with them. I would love to give it a try but Tuesday we have our first dental appointment in Los Algodones to have our implants completed. The lady they are taking the class from teaches in her home somewhere here in the Foothills and she has her garage turned into an entire sewing center with machines, etc. Jan showed me how the lady teaches quilting. She uses a adhesive backing that has a graph on it that helps with placing the pieces evenly. The way Jan explained, I really believe I could do it and would probably enjoy. I might look into taking a class before we leave if we have time.
We drove into Yuma to the Saturday Farmer's Market held in the parking lot of the Mall. We went several times last year while here. The only things we bought was a jar of hot sauce made by a lady from Sommerton which is about 18 miles from Yuma. It is actually more of a hot relish and she combined it with sour cream. We bought the mild but she had three that were much hotter. She donates a portion of the price of each jar to the Yuma Hospice. We also bought a few tomatoes from a grower in Sommerton as well. Tonight Larry had one of the tomatoes and told me it's the first tomato that he has had in Arizona that taste like a real tomato. Last year we bought tomatoes from several markets and they all tasted like plastic.
Today was very cool. I wore capri's and a jacket when we went to Yuma but came home and put socks and long pants on. The wind picked up around 9:30 last night and it rained for a short time. This morning we still had pretty strong winds but no rain. I think by Thursday the temperature is to get warmer.
I have been having some problems with my back again. I honestly think it is our mattress. We were given two new mattresses when we went to Red Bay, AL to the Tiffin Factory on January 17 and they are already ditched in the middle. I sent an email to Tiffin about a week ago asking if they would just give us the cost of the mattresses and let us buy our own. They replied to my email a couple of days ago asking I send a picture of the mattress to them. We tried to take a picture once before we went to Red Bay but it really did not show how bad they were dipped in the middle. I plan to try getting a better picture tomorrow.
We came home this afternoon and I took a short nap to try to get rid of my backache. Didn't have much luck with that.
Talked to Leslie this morning and she is feeling somewhat better. Worked Thursday and Friday but said she was exhausted when she came home last night.
Texted Taylor earlier in the week and Morgan has strep throat again and Addison was acting like she was getting sick as well. The doctor told them last year that Morgan was a strep carrier so the whole family usually ends up with it when she has it.
Tomorrow I plan to chill out and so laundry. I think it is to be cool again so not too enjoyable being out much.
