March 27th - This & That

Once in a while ya just gotta take care of biznus. We took the Roadrunner into this place for an oil change. Great concept. Just like a quick lube place for your car but big enough for motorhomes and trucks of all sizes.  We didn't even have to get out of our home.

Yes, that "IS" Tony Orlando. Contrary to rumors about his death from old age he was live and in person and we had free tickets. Get this... the show was at 3:00!! They know we can't stay up late.

There's a place in town called the Yuma Indoor Market. It's like a flea market inside an old Walmart or Target store so it's got AC. This guy is Mr. Garlic. Everything made from or with garlic.

Great hat.

Rental RV, Tight but cute.

You can buy working slots at the indoor market for $1,050.00

Great  idea for hummingbird feeders.

Hatband made out of beer can pop tops.  We saw these at another craft fair in
Tucson.  Some are very fancy with beads & sparkles.

Cool plate they use in the Northwest Territories, eh?

And a late afternoon balloon passing by.

Didn't buy one but we loved the shirt.

MG - Original. Makes you think of Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal in Love Story.

Art on the Tower.

With new Nike's firmly knotted up he is able to leap tall buildings with a single bound.
(I think they are really UnderArmor and they are an early birthday present.  We will be
in Borrego Springs for Kirt's April 5 bday and they don't have many stores in that little
town.)

Another miniature display box done by one of the gals in Holly's craft class.  This
was her first attempt.  All these gals were really into miniatures.

This gal found this old lantern box at Goodwill so she created a small display in
in, using her tree on the rock that we made last week.

Another view of the miniature box.

The lady in yellow is Susan, our teacher, from Missoula MT.  She has a museum
in her house in Montana.  She has over 200,000 miniature "things."  I want to make
a stop there someday. 

The girl on the left is from CleElum, WA.  She has a second home in the town of Yuma.
She brought cookies for our last day :-)

We were to create cacti, using Femo clay.  They baked it during class and we
decorated them with flowers and paint.
 

This is Roger, Susan's helper (also from Missoula)

Another early evening in Paradise!  It's dinner outside every nite.  (But one night
it dropped down to 75 and it was too cold to eat outside.  I had to wear a jacket
for our evening walk.)
