Poles n Potluck

Kathy and I went pole dancing a couple days ago. This is the Yuma version of all the geocaches along the E.T. Highway north of Las Vegas. I don't know how many are in the desert near here...but we did 78 and are going out again today to finish this group. It will add about 40 more to our numbers.

 

 The caches are about every 10th of a mile apart on the power poles or very close to them...easy to find...and are strictly for making the number of "finds" higher. Well, bragging rights too...lol. There are a line of them...perhaps a couple lines...that go all the way to the Mexican border.

Yesterday we had our first winter potluck in the neighborhood. It was in honor of our Harry, who passed away a few weeks ago. He didn't make it down this season, and we sure miss him.

Not many neighborhoods are like ours here in Yuma. Can many of you get 25 to 30 of your neighbors together for a little potluck? I can't at home...It was wonderful and we're still feeling full...pulled pork...Norwegian cabbage salad...corn casserole...salmon/cream cheese rolls...chocolate cake with seven minute icing...and much more. Everyone always makes a favorite yummy dish.

This is mine...a Coca Cola cake. It is DELICIOUS! This is all that is left, a couple pieces and crumbs.

But Norman and I won't soon forget it. The dang thing overflowed the pans in the oven...the overflow burnt on the bottom of the oven...smelled up the RV...and it still smells this morning. Everything that could be washed has been. I've sprayed Lysol...burnt candles...ran the fan...so far...stinky RV. But the cake recipe is a keeper, and I'll make it again.

The weather is beautiful right now. Perfect temperature for enjoying the outside...even sitting in the sunshine enjoying a Coke and book.

We're heading for home in a couple days to enjoy the holidays with the kids. Should I put a guilt trip on them? Nah, that would be mean...Yeah, why not...LOL..that's what moms are supposed to do. Right? Sure hope we see them more than Thanksgiving and Christmas.

But I'm not looking forward to putting on those warm clothes, or the rain and snow we'll be going through to get home.
