Starting the Move North and Last Supper

I have climbed the ladder of success ... one wrong at a time.


We seem to have had several “Last Supper” events during the year.  Tuesday night we had another one.  Our Last Supper was with Freddy and Delcie.  We had been parking next to them at the Pilot Knob BLM for almost two weeks.  We have had an absolutey great time getting together with them every evening.  It was only fitting that we would have a Last Supper event.  The best part of it for Terry and I was they invited us for dinner, provided all the food and did all the work!

Cooking the steaks

Check out all the food!!  Those steaks were some of the best we had ever had.  They were scrumptious!  Everything was so perfect.   Thank you so much!!

There's enough food to feed an army!

The steaks were not only fabulous.  They were huge.  Terry and Freddy even split one.  I thought Delcie had a whole but I guess I was the only one that did.  I had to have my very own and I ate the WHOLE THING! Of course by the time we finished with our first helping, we were pretty much stuffed!!

This was my plate --

Here it is past the middle of February already.  The weather has been nice in the Yuma area but not what we would consider hot yet.  The wind seems to blow a cool breeze most all the time.  We don’t like it hot but we don’t like it cold either.  We’re getting ready to pull up those levels and get the wheels off the BLM and on the road north.  The problem with this is that the places we’re thinking about going really don’t warm up enough to visit until May.  However, in May we hope to be all the way back north.  After all, that’s when family time starts.

Wednesday is going to roll around and we’re going to head someplace.  By the time this gets published we will be someplace else.  The California coast was the original plan.  Then, Utah came into the plans.  Then, it was back to California and then, it was a toss up again.   However, looking at some of the locations in Utah we were thinking of going to I discovered that the nights are still in the 20’s during the month of April!!!!!  That temperature is not in the range we want to be in.  With the 20’s come ice and snow and all kinds of weather we prefer to avoid.  Thus, we have a dilemma. Maybe Utah should be a fall venture and not an early spring one.  We don’t know.  So, where will we head when we pull out of the Yuma area?  Will it be farther west or north in California or farther north in Arizona?

I guess the dilemma will only be solved on Wednesday when we actually hit the road and start heading someplace.  We’re just not sure where that will be.  Ever been in this situation?

Loaded up and getting ready to go -- Duchess sure isn't going to like leaving but we haven't told her  yet.

That’s it, folks.  We said our “so longs” until next year.

Are those rollers in Delcie's hair?  You still look great, Girl!!

Even the kids said their farewells.
 
Right now we need to think about getting put away and ready to hit the road.  Anyone taking bets?  We’re certainly not betting on where we might head to right now.

‘Tis life on the road.

  1. This winter has been so strange that who knows what the weather is going to be anywhere as you head north. I think we're going to have to break down and buy a couple of steaks. Man did those look good. We haven't been to Costco in forever.

  4. It's too early to head north! Didn't you learn last year that if you start north too early you get fall hitch itch too early?! Wait for better weather at both ends, Jeri!

  6. Holy Crap That food looks GOOD !!

    Don't get what you are saying about the weather in Yuma ?? I'm in Yuma and it's been in the High 80's every day for a week now ?? And even before that it was well into the 70's.

    Last thing - if you keep using that "N" word I'm not reading your Blog anymore !! LOL

  7. Why in the world would you want to head north yet. We do it in May and it's still cold even than.

    I agree with everyone, that food look fabulous. You could almost smell the steaks.

  8. That dinner looks delicious, nothing like a bbq steak with all the fixin's.

    I'm currently having the same dilemma - I want to leave Hot Spring, but not sure where to go. Arizona for sure, but where? I'm thinking, like you, that I'll figure it out when I'm on the road. I'm really enjoying this hot weather, but don't want it toooo hot. :)
