Weekend in Arizona

Friday night we had rain. We have never experienced rain here before. Man when it rains...it pours.  Saturday morning the air was fresh and the sun was shining! We looked for second hand bikes, but discovered we could buy new ones for less than second hand, so we walked 3 miles to pick them up.
We enjoyed a Christmas Latte from Starbucks...with Christmas Music!! (It amazes me how early they start the Christmas Music in the USA!)
We even bought helmets...
We visited a few Goodwill stores and picked up a picture for our new home. It cost a total of $4.00.
Saturday night...I think Arizona is one of the few states that does not have a time change...but I could be corrected on that!  So we missed out on an extra hour of sleep:)
Sunday morning we went to the 'Church in the Park'. 
 It is a wonderful informal gathering of many people from parks all over Yuma!
We spent the afternoon visiting a few of the Local Markets.

We are fortunate to be able to walk to two of the markets in the City! We were looking for bike baskets for our bikes but came home without them.
We did find a Vendor selling second hand books at great prices. I picked up some Hardy Boys Books. Hopefully the grandson's haven't read them...but for the price, we had to get them. They were $2.00 each.
Hubby was over joyed when he found a very old Mark Twain Book for $5.00!

National Puppy Day

Miss Pepper…..she changed our life… But life wouldn’t be as full without her! She is a kind sweet puppy that always ‘try’s😳’ to please.
