Today we were going to go to Quartzite Classic Car show, but instead went to the Yuma Gearhead show.  This was quite unique to see, all sorts of vehicles, VW’s, restored vehicles, rodded vehicles and the unusual vehicles.

On thing which I did not notice when I purchases a model bus, I guess it is kinda rare -   #1 of 1000.

I also purchased a bus pendant for Vadie, this too is very rare – #1 of 1 silver,  based on a FC 1984 model.  Thanks Marianne, Vadie really likes it.

In addition to all of the shopping which Vadie did at Quartzite, we were given a towel by Pat Garner.  She has one of those fancy sewing machines which does this kind of thing, really cool.  Thanks Pat.

I thought I had one of those pics but I cannot seem to find it, but will show you later.

Might have to ask her to make us a set of towels for $quanderlodge II – hmmm interesting.

Special People Today – Sonny and Pat – our neighbours in Yuma.  They were sad to see us go, and very glad to see that we returned. A lovely couple from Montana.  We have been doing some special things with them, including going to church.

Wow, another month gone again – where is the time going to.  Before I know I will have to go back to work again – isn’t that a fright.

I was not feeling too good this morning, we were going to get up early to go to the garage sales but we were a little late leaving.  We did find a water tank for Vadie’s shop though, guess I will have to mount that on top.

As we were going through the streets for the garage sales we saw a Bluebird so I knocked on the door and found out that it was Byron Bennett and Sue previously from Washington, now living in Yuma.  He plans on putting his 83 up for sale soon.

We watched a movie tonight and hit the hay early to go to Quartzite tomorrow to  see the Classic Car Show.

Today again was somewhat of a lazy day.  We weren’t going to do much today, but our neighbours invited us to go to the market.  We went to the market, then went to find a place to pick citrus fruits, but did not find one.  We did however find oranges for sale 10lbs for $1.50, so we bought them.

We then went out for dinner at McDonalds – wow what a treat hmmmm.

Here are some more pics of Quartzite Rally and vendors.

Special People Today – Lori, Tim, JC, Bryson and Eron.  Lori’s parents, John and Lil Wilbour, sort of adopted us, but Lori, Tim, JC, Bryson and Eron have taken it to a new meaning.  They truly are like Vadie and my family.  As with the family from Holland, we are really welcomed into their family.  Whenever we head to my daughter and son  who live in Medicine Hat, Alberta, we detour to Coaldale, Alberta to see them.

Really not much to say about today.  Work, work and more work.  We cleaned the coach, did lots of laundry, which included all of the floor mats, rearranged the sock drawers and some of the other drawers as well.

Here are some pics from the Quartzite rally and area vendors.

Special People Today – Reinier, Desire, Suzanne, Marloes and Angel.  A family from Holland, who has become like one of our own.  We did not think that we would see them for another couple of years, but they are coming back to Canada this year.  We are trying to make every effort in getting to see them, just like family should do.
