April 2010

Hello,
We went to Yuma during the month of March. We stayed the entire month in a park model home in Araby Acres which is a 55+ park in Yuma. It is also the park where Judy's Dad & Pat reside duriong the winter. It was a great experience which we hope to enjoy even more once we retire. I did not even get real bored while we were there. There is so much a person can do. I even went to Mexico while we were there it was not scary, but rather depressing. Some of us here in the states take what we have for granted untill we visit a foreign country. The border towns are really indictive of the country as a whole but it does give you a somewhat askewed look. But all in all the whole experience of spending the most consecutive days with my wife alone was great. We have never done this in our entire 37 year marriage. What with life going on, you know raising kids, military career and now the postal career so it was really relaxing. Well have a great day. Must spend time planning the next vacation. LOl

Update

Not much out of the ordinary has happened since Ragbrai. Although a new route for the 2010 Ragbrai has been announced. It will be shorter and flatter than last year. Thanksgiving has come and gone as with Christmas. many things have changed and many things have pretty much stayed the same. Experienced a good motorcycle ride shortly after my return from Iowa. Uneventful as far as accidents or breakdowns were concerned. But nice overall. Judy and I are now planning on vacationing to Yuma AZ during March to experience a small taste of the "snowbird" life to see if we actually would enjoy doing something like that after we retire. It seems intriguing. But I know that I am not ready yet to just hang around playing horse shoes and watching the grass grow. But who knows maybe in a few years or so. I will try to post pictures and keep this thing more updated take care and god bless
