Ho my! how time flies!
Nine months to Christmas!!!
(I have just been told off for this observation...)
It was fun the first time. And we are doing it again.
Tubing down the Colorado River.
We have some of the die-hard from the last time; and some new recruits that want to share in the experience; even some from another park. The word is spreading around!
Nine floating devices were pushed out on the water of the river at Gateway Park, under the watchful eyes of the photographer at the Yuma Sun newspaper.
The water appears to be 3 to 4 inches higher this time; the river is moving a tad faster.
And the ride is on.
One mile (45 minutes) of pure relaxation and fun.
Was there any water gun fights on the way? Well, that's part of the fun...
The trend is set; and everyone is looking forward to float again in the fall/winter.

Julieanna's Patio Cafe is a cheerful restaurant oasis hidden in a tropical atmosphere with live birds and great ambience.
There was four of us sat on the patio; an enchanted place set for enjoyment on this warm afternoon; taking delight in the shade of the palm trees, the food and the drinks.
I failed to mention our service dog, Hanna; not at all disturbed by the presence of colourful and talkative parrots (macaws); not to mention the peacock, John Henry.
The food selection was presented on a short and simple menu.
I chose a refreshment that is a specialty for the season: margarita prepared with pineapple and cilantro; I could not imagine these ingredients together, so I chose to try it. The result challenged my taste buds; quite different and refreshing. Leaves a taste for more.
The food was well presented and elevated with a fittingly selected coulis.
All in all, the feeling of a pleasant dinning experience.

On the way back from Happy Hour, we meet some neighbours that will be leaving soon; Elaine mentions that she will have to forgo her promised quad ride until the fall. She gets an immediate response: be ready in 5 minutes!
The mean machine appears in front of our place right on time, to Elaine's delight. Safety equipment secured, "see you soon" and they are on their way.
On their return, after a run in the desert, I only had to see Elaine's beaming expression to know that she enjoyed the ride.
