Weather has been climbing in temperature ever since I've been in Yuma, Ariz. since March 7. Today, Monday, March 23, the temperature peaked at 93 F. It is a very dry heat, so a little different than what it would be in Saskatchewan during the summer.
I hosted a "cousins breakfast," which is held every second week, usually at a restaurant, but I had purchased an overabundance of groceries so offered to host it. The accompanying photo shows the cousins who attended. All of these cousins pictured and my brother Bernie own property in Yuma but in different 55+ trailer courts throughout the city. When all of the snowbirds return home, Yuma shrinks incredibly.
I organized a Carol Burnett show and calypso music evening Saturday with great success. The skits were hilarious and had the audience in much laughter. Fortunately some people did volunteer, but we did minimal practice because everyone is busy with many other activities throughout the day.
I met Lorraine (nee Laughlin from Meeting Lake many decades ago). She and her husband Barry Woodruff haven't been in Orchard Gardens Trailer Park for the past two years, as both were experiencing health problems. She is a first cousin to Rabbit Lake's correspondent, Alan Laughlin, and recognized many names including Massett and Kobernick. They reside in Vernon, B.C. She said to say "hi" to all her longtime friends in Rabbit Lake.
