Desert Paradise

I've had such a great weekend here in Yuma!! We went to Mexico the first day we got here, then a delicious seafood buffet (hello All You Can Eat Crab!!) at the Q casino. Saturday we hit up some local farmers markets, Dillard's, Marshall's, Kirkland's Home, indoor swap meet, then the yummiest slow cooked pork roast dinner with fresh asparagus and sweet potato pasta. Is there anything better than Grandma's cooking?!! No, no there is not.
Sunday was a different experience. We had to leave the house at 7:00 AM in order to get a seat at church which starts at 7:45 AM. The snow bird ward is very much like my singles ward except instead of talking about marriage all the time, they talk about death- but other than that it is eerily similar. They have branch FHE, the RS meets in the chapel, and Sacrament meeting always goes into the over flow. It's really fun!! After church, we followed the Sunday tradition and went to Home Town Buffet. It was delish and we all ate so much we didn't need to eat the rest of the day. Then we went home and took a Sunday nap and watched golf. That night we played Five Crowns and had a blast. Now I'm sitting on the front porch, enjoying this gorgeous morning. Grandma made the most delicious biscuits and gravy this morning that I will be dreaming about for weeks. I'm so sad to leave- a weekend is just too short. Thank You Grandma and Grandpa!!!!
