Sam And Saundra's Second Time Around - Part 13

Sam And Saundra’s Second Time Around – Part 13

Arizona

11/1/10 – 3/1/11 Yuma  - Holidays, Church and Rainbows

Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are on the house.  It is amazing that the owner, Jesse, his wife and family, are not only willing to provide the turkey, taters/gravy and stuffing, but that they can do this for such large numbers.  We provided the rest of the meals items.  What an array of great food, including all the traditional (green bean casserole) sides.  New Years is a ‘pay for’ prime rib buffet and dance.  Since our anniversary is on the first – we will be dancing ‘til dawn – or at least 10 pm, in celebration.

Yuma has wonderful sunsets – they don’t involve a lot of moisture, other than a few whispy clouds that catch and reflect the red, red rays of the retiring sun. Yep, in Yuma – even the sun retires.

Good Evening

Sam and I had no idea that there was a sunrise until he volunteered to help with the sound mixing for the church services. Since the Chapel de Oro service starts at the seemingly ‘ungodly’ hour of 9 am, he tries to get there by 7 am.  The sun is just beginning to stretch up it’s rays towards the backside of the Fortuna Foothills – starting a spectacular morning eye feast that features shades of reds, oranges, purples.  The more spirit-like the clouds, the more breath-taking the display.  Another reason to go to church!

After a 48 hour period of sporadic, drizzling moisture that full-time Yuma-honians (Yumans?) call 

‘rain’, a Promise sign showed up.  Right across the street….
