Had a great day. Arrived back in Quartzsite around 3:30 pm. Lucille & Tom Olliver from Saskatchewan dropped by around 4:00 pm and visited with us until around 5:30 pm. After supper the group met around our firepit. It was a nice evening and a roaring fire. The windbreak is still standing and makes for a very cosy spot out of the wind.
Monday dawned cold - 0C or +32 F. Frost on the windows of truck and seats of quads. Jeanne went for a walk at 8:30 am because too frosty earlier. Before Christmas day we had taken down the screen around the awning and put the awning in because of the wind, so today we rigged it all back up. Sure hope we don't have to break camp to go dump the holding tanks. It is a bit of a bother, but the screen makes a bit of a wind and sun break. Weather is suppose to improve over the next few days. We were just finishing with the awning when Roger and Jeri came over and visited. Drove to Blythe, California for some soy sauce (20 miles) and stopped at Ehrenburg for a load of pallets to use as firewood. Sure, we picked the warmest day in three weeks to load wood. Brought back 24 pallets and 3 sheets of plywood. After we got the pallets unloaded we went over to Jeri & Roger's and had a game of ladder ball.
Had hot italian sausages, Sidekicks and salad for supper. Before we had finished people began arriving around the firepit. Supper dishes left on the cupboard for another night. Thank goodness for paper plates. We sure have used a lot of them in the past two months. Everyone left about 9:45 pm as we have a big day tomorrow.
