Hi! Wow, this is my 51 posting and I’ve got 40 comments so far. Nice, huh? Yeah, I sure think so. I couldn’t of done it without you. Thanks for following along….

Today, we didn’t do too much. I’ve got a friend from back home, he and his wife come to Yuma in the winter like us, so he emailed me and told me he was down here, but when we stopped by today (3 miles from our RV park), they weren’t home. But, that’s okay, because we will try to visit again shortly. He emailed me and told me that most of New Hampshire is hanging out over there! I’ll have to go check out that party……

Today we went to the flea market. It was a short trip just to stop by and our neighbor bought some some stuff for her RV. After that we went to pick some oranges in the……what do you call it……orange farm…..fruit farm……well, it’s a lot area with orange trees, grapefruit trees, and lemon trees. Don’t touch those lemon trees, they have those thorns on them that will bite you if you get close enough So, we got some oranges and I pulled out some lemons from the lemon tree with a “picker” that has a wooden stick handle. Alot of the fruit has been picked already, but this picker thing helped to get some of the fruit off the top area of the tree.

We returned to the RV and relaxed in the afternoon, very hot in the sun today…..didn’t do much and then 4:30 rolled around and it was time for dinner. The recreational hall had a dinner tonight and I love these types of dinners. We had to buy tickets to this two days ago and it’s so worth it. You pay $6 per person and you get your choice of a steak, chicken, or pork. So I choose steak and tonight they gave me my uncooked steak and I went outside the rec hall to one of the 6 or 7 pre-heated grills that they provided and I cooked my own steak. And I’ll be darned, I’m a pretty good cook! Couldn’t believe it. Came out perfect! After I cooked my steak, I took it back inside and went to the buffet style table set up and got my baked potato, corn, bread, and salad and then went to my table. Yeah, just like that. It was too cool! Me, personally, I’m not that fluent with grill cooking. I don’t get that much practice cooking with fire, but I did it and it turned out great. My steak came out medium-well and no one got hurt. Can’t wait to do it again! There’s another dinner just like this one coming up later this month. I can’t wait to go.

Later tonight we went shopping. Our neighbor wanted to buy these mini speakers that you use on a laptop to get great sound quality. So we visited Staples and he found ones that he liked and I ran across the E-Book Reader by Sony. I’ve heard of these, read about these, but never actually seen them. I didn’t thing they were so big, I was thinking maybe the size of a blackberry, but these E-Readers (or whatever you call them) come with a 6 inch screen and I guess the Kindle now comes with a 9 inch screen. Too Cool! I was browsing around in Staples for the Ipod Touch (I was dreaming of getting one), but ran across these E-Readers on display and it just caught my attention. I love to read and I can easily get lost in Barnes and Nobles and I’ve spent a couple of thousands of dollars in books…….so I was thinking…hmmmm…maybe I can keep reading and not have so many books stack up in the corner that I never touch again after I read them. And THEN I saw that the Sony E-Reader holds 350 books and my excitement started all over again! And then my eyes swiped the price and my excitement didn’t last too long. Wow, they aren’t giving those away for free, huh? So, tell me, tell me, tell me, do you have one of these E-Readers?? And I don’t want to hear Yes or No, I want the scoop!!! Tell me which one you have, why you love it, and if you hate it, I want to know whyyyyyy……

You have a good night and I’m still thinking of all the comments I’ve gotten so far – You guys rock! Nite Nite!
