2024 10-Quartzsite Yuma VFW

March 4 Thru March 8

So this stop at the VFW in Yuma allowed us to be closer to Mexico for getting my dental work completed. We were able to do some of the activities that the Yuma VFW were putting on while we were in the area. We were able to get my dental work complete and then move on to our next stop at the Border Hookups Popup concert.

March 4: Enjoyed a quiet morning with breakfast of Cindy‘s biscuit mixture. Went out and started working on my notes from this gathering and Bob and Joni came over to visit so enjoyed that time tremendously. Afterwards we ran into town and fueled up the truck, went by the VFW and got a couple of shirts for ourselves, as well as enjoyed lunch, and a drink, followed up by a quick stop at the dollar store. Came back to the trailer and preloaded for tomorrow’s move, and worked some more on the video. We also stopped by Jarrett’s place, and got some more of the cleaning product for the windows as well as the interior of the trailer.

With a majority of the people that were here at the rally having left, we were still able to enjoy the company of our fellow Grand Design neighbors that are still here around a campfire this evening. One and all were fun friendly people. It appeared that everyone enjoyed the gorgeous evening that the Lord blessed us with.

March 5: So we got to go to Mexico this morning, finally getting to finish up my dental work. Today they ground down and shaped my teeth for the bridges that they are putting in. They also use their digital scanning device to scan my mouth to build those bridges. Took about an hour and a half in the chair to accomplish today’s task. Afterword the dentist assistant took us up to the border so that we could get back across easily. The line moved rapidly today and we were able to get through in about 30 minutes without too much of a hassle. After getting back to the house, Cindy went over to the VFW to participate in the meat draw. She ended up winning a pork loin, so once my teeth are finished, we will enjoy cooking that up. I stayed at the house and watched TV and commiserated in misery as my mouth was quite irritated by the time the dentist got done with it.

March 7: We had to be back over to the dentist office at 11 AM this morning to finish up my dental work. We got down and crossed over the border in time to do a little bit of shopping at the pharmacy so that our pharmaceuticals are squared away for another year. Once at the dentist I was in the chair for about 30 minutes as they installed my new bridges and glued them into place and shaped my teeth so that everything fit without clanking. If needed, he said I can come back so that he can do more grinding and polishing to make everything fit together If things are still hitting . When we got back to the VFW and the trailer after shopping at Walmart, we put everything away and went over for some drinks and the music that was playing. we enjoyed ourselves tremendously and look forward to doing that again some other time.

March 8: We enjoyed a breakfast of bacon and eggs with toast, and my new teeth worked wonderfully biting through the bacon without any issues. We discussed going to the airshow tomorrow and I believe we have come up with the game plan of not going to the airshow, but rather going out to the Border Hookups pop-up concert with the trailer and enjoying an evening out there where it’s a bit quieter. Upon completion tomorrow, we will hook up to the trailer on Sunday and pull up to Palm Canyon to be ready for the kids to arrive.Plus we will also send them a pin of where we are It appears that Nancy and Kurt will come down on the 16th possibly the 15th and we will meet them over in Roadrunner.

We ran into Frys for veggies and stopped at Circle K for some Zen then back to the trailer. Unpacked groceries and relaxed for a few before Micheal is supposed to be out.

We met Michael over at the VFW and chatted with him all the way through music, which was good music. As usual, it can be quite challenging to visit with Michael because he’s so full of himself, I do believe he doesn’t know what the truth is even if it stepped upand bit him . After Micheal took off I came back over here to the trailer and took Chloe out for a walk.

Jerry and Marie also came out to the VFW and when I was done with Chloe, I walked over and joined them with Cindy and we visited a bit until the VFW closed. Afterwards, we came back to the trailer and enjoyed watching a bit of TV and then off to bed.
