Great visit

Yesterday we met Mark's sister and hubby in Gila Bend at an authentic Italian restaurant. We took Lola along so she didn't have to stay home for 8 hours without any potty breaks. She loves riding in daddy's truck and doesn't mind waiting in the truck for us to return. We make sure she has water. And it was not a warm day either. She is such a good girl.

We had a wonderful visit, it was so great to see our family again. It was a 4 hour visit and not once did anyone make us feel like we had sat there too long. They even kept the pop and water glasses full. The food was wonderful, the best pizza outside of Godfathers. It was obvious it was made from scratch and real Italian cooking. They even spoke Italian. So cool to find Italian in a Mexican dominated state.

The weather was rainy all day and night. In a year Yuma gets around 3 inches of rain. So far that has been exceeded by inches. A very rainy week and much cooler temps has some birds packing up early to head home. 😍 Some will be missed but most will not.

Tuesday five of our windows were measured for sunscreens. We are getting a dark gray with white framing to match the house. This summer we won't have to put up the foil insulated stuff on the windows. That, we found out is NOT good for windows. I know what it did to the windows in the RV so I can imagine what another year of use would do to the windows in the house too. One doesn't see anything but the sunscreens on windows, and now we know why. But we had to wait to be able to afford them. It was a good price this year so it was under budget. I like when things work out that way. 😃 In three weeks Specialty Sewing will come and install the screens.  They can be removed so the windows can get washed too. It is not a permanent mount. Some day we should have things set around here and have nothing to add. hahaha
