We are very happy and excited to announce that we will become first time grandparents in early July!! Our son Korey and his wife Cathryn are expecting a daughter. I'm busy working on some quilts for the new addition to our family. We will be spending the summer in Wisconsin, so will be able to drive to Nebraska when she arrives.
We continue to enjoy our life in Yuma. Last weekend was the 10th annual North American golf tournament where the Canadians and Americans compete against each other. We had a good time, but lost our match. It is a competition, but mostly we have a great time with our friends from both sides of the border.
Last week we attended the Howling at the Moon party here at the resort. There was a band playing and a big bonfire. Hundreds of people attended, which was the most ever. They had 200 bowls of chili available for sale. It was sold out in no time, so we ordered burgers from the saloon.
I went golfing in the nearby community of Wellton with friends, Anne, Ione and Clara. We had a great time.

After golf we had lunch at the Desert Penguin bar and grill in Wellton. The food was delicious. A very interesting decor for the desert.
Last Sunday we attended a concert in the park at the Colorado River State Historical Park. Yuma has several locations where you can take your picture and be the Y in Yuma.
We enjoyed a musical performance by the Gadsden Mariachi Band, a group of students from the nearby town of Gadsden ranging in ages from 9 to 14. This is the fifth generation of this group keeping their cultural music alive. They did a great job, and we enjoyed listening to the music native to this area.
We continue to enjoy our activities. Kevin plays golf six days a week. I play three or four days. I also participate in the quilting group and woodcarving group. A new activity I'm working on is making a mosaic project in the stained glass room.
We are also still working with another couple on the golf leagues. We do the computer work that sets up the league teams, create and print the scorecards for each of the four leagues and record the scores of the players. We take turns working every other week with the other couple. The park has been super busy this season. Every activity is seeing record numbers of participants, including golf. This is keeping us quite busy.
Our son Eric, his girlfriend, Erin and her son Tyler are coming to visit us in March. We're looking forward to welcoming them to our home and to Yuma.
Don’t wish upon a star – Reach for one!
