Balloon Festival - Lake Havasu

In all the years we've been coming down here, this is something we have never done, so today we decided to make the one-hour drive and head on over to Lake Havasu to partake in the Balloon Festival. 














The Mass Ascension took place at 7:45 a.m. and we didn't get there in time to see it. Not because we missed it, we hadn't planned to be there that early. 







There was another one scheduled for 5 pm (weather permitting), but as things turned out we weren't there for that one either.  









There were activities going on all day: skydivers falling from the sky, balloon rides, stage entertainment, Classic Car show, vendors, food court.... I could go on and on, but our truth was once we walked around for about 2 1/2 hours we'd had enough of the festival and decided not to hang around until 5 for the next Mass Acsension.









So we had late lunch at Juicy's Bar and Grill (voted the #1 place to eat in town) hung around the area for awhile then made it home around 4.

Happy New Year!! 

We want to wish all our family and friends the very best of 2015.











Yesterday Darlene & Ed and Paulette & Mark arrived in our park.  So we are looking forward to a few months with them. 

Darlene and Ed

New Years Eve Dance in our park began early (6:30 pm) with a nice selection of sandwiches and extras.  There were two door prizes and a 50/50 draw which Paulette won - $50.00 more or less!!

Mark and Paulette

We were on New York Time and the countdown began at 10 pm. But in the time between we all had a good time, a little dancing, and lots of visiting.














The karaoke was set  up and a few got up to sing. 











And line dance.


Cheers to you all in 2015!


"Live long and prosper"

Blowing and snowing here this morning in the valley. Ten years we've been coming down to this area in the winter and this is the first time we've experienced snow. But we're toasty - the furnace is going, internet is working, and so is the TV.  We're good to hang out.








California and Nevada (and parts of Arizona too) are experiencing some pretty cold temperatures, with some wicked winds. Snow in lots of places.

Still awaiting the arrival of Darlene and Ed, et. al. Weather has slowed down their travel. They spent the night last night in Cedar City, Utah. Hopefully they will find better travelling weather today. If not, we'll see them when they get here. Travel safe you guys.  Look forward to hangin' with you for awhile.

Nipper and Sheryl left on the 26th to carry on on their adventure and for the past few days we've been busy packing up the motorhome (again) and getting ready to move out of the park model. We had one last Happy Hour with Doug and Ginette at our place on Sunday afternoon, and said our good byes. 


Today we arrived here at Fiesta RV Resort in Bullhead City. We were welcomed back by friends Sandi & Dave Solverson and Tom & Jyme Hurley.  Have to say that it was pretty cold. But the fire and the company was very warming. Now we await the arrival of Darlene & Ed and Paulette & Mark, who according to Tony in the office should be arriving tomorrow!!

In the picture with Michel are: on the left Jyme & Tom Hurley and on the right Dave & Sandi Solverson.

December 25, 2014 Christmas Day

Christmas Day with good friends. The only ones missing from this picture are Steve and Doreen - miss you guys!! But thanks for the use of your park model, we've really enjoyed our stay here!













I cooked the turkey this year, something I haven't done in a few years. But it turned out okay. I'm sure we all put on a couple of pounds - lol. 

December 24, 2014 Christmas Eve

 Happy Hour with Doug and Ginette. We've had some pretty chilly temperatures, it was nice to sit under the heater while we enjoyed our wine with good friends. 

Later in the evening we went indoors to enjoy a little karaoke. We all sang and had a good time.
