Phoebe’s all better now, her rash is going away. Maybe I’ll even go take some photos at JcPenny before we leave. We were pretty much goofing around and enjoying ourselves for several days—flea market, visiting, not doing much. Today we had fun, but we also got a lot done in terms of organizing the trailer. Finally have use of the other side of our kitchen table. I also go to download photos onto the computer from memory sticks and CDs. I’ll maybe even get them online soon!

Phoebe is learning to really play for sympathy. She gets a boo boo and immediately shows it to Grandma and asks for kisses. When she hugs us, she claps for herself—very proud of how sweet she is—we ‘taught ‘ her that inadvertently by praising her so much when she gives hugs and kisses.

We got to go on bike rides today too. Our bike chains had been totally frozen up after Burning Man—we did nothing with them whatsoever and chains don’t like playa plus rain and snow. I had forgotten how nice it is to ride, but WE hate our bikes, they are very uncomfortable. I think we’ll go get fitted, then shop thrift stores till we find ‘the right bike’s.

Greg had to take the truck in to get the brakes and alignment checked. The truck had started pulling really hard to the right. $59.95 later, it drives great. Who knew anything on a diesel truck was that cheap to fix! The guy forgot to check the brakes, so we’ll have to go back in. Humorous side note—they don’t make appointments in Yuma—everything is first come first serve. Arrive promptly at opening, because snowbirds get up EARLY!
