Back to the daily grind

Last week, hubby and I flew to Yuma, AZ so I could get some dental work done.  We flew out on Tuesday morning, and by Tuesday afternoon, I was sitting in the dental chair in Mexico.  We crossed over the border 5 times.  In addition to the dental work, we both got progressive lenses glasses, and a few gifts for the boys. 

We stopped to see a painter, and ended up buying some items from him.  He does this all with spray paint!  He also painted a mug for hubby.

It is fun to cross the border, and find some good deals, but it was HOT!! It was 106 degrees.  I don't do hot.   And, it does get tiring, always hearing, "Dental??  Optical??  Pharmacy??" 

One day we went to a date farm. It was interesting!  We got to sample dates, and I brought some home. Only to find out I'm the only one who really likes them. I'm really glad I didn't buy the 11 pound box, even if it was an incredible deal. 

They put these bags on the bunches of dates to keep bugs and birds away. 

We also went to the Yuma Terratorial Prison.  It was interesting to hear about that part of history.  I can't imagine how the people lived in those small cells--sometimes 6 to a cell!  In that heat!!

So, we are back to normal around here, and have a cookout tonight, at our house.  I need to finish my potato salad.

Blessings!
