Won the Jackpot!

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

 

Electricity was supposed to be out at the park on Tuesday and also on the California side of the river.  We were planning on it.  With all that solar sitting on our roof we figured we probably wouldn’t notice it at all.  We were right.  We didn’t but maybe that was because our power didn’t go out at all.  We had already planned on taking a late afternoon ride for a late lunch with Linda. Originally the late ride was because with power out, we wouldn’t be able to run the air conditioner and it was supposed to be quite warm that afternoon.

 

We went for the ride anyway.  We ended up at the Pirate’s Den for an early dinner.  The Pirate's Den is on the Arizona side of the river.  It's a new RV park with a restaurant and bar area.  It had been built right next to the La Paz County Park.  We had visited the area in November and loved the setting.  This was our time to return and try out the menu.  It was a pretty great place to visit.  Evidently all three of us are fans of the Red Robin’s bonzai burgers and that’s what we ordered here. 

With the sand at our feet, palm trees flapping in the breeze and the boats whizzing by, we had a little bit of a feel like we were in the Caribbean. Linda treated ….. thank you, Linda.  We were also thankful the pirates weren’t busy that day.   This is another fun place and we’ll be back!!

We found a place for Sassy to park!

That’s right!  I won big the other night.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays quite a bingo crowd gathers in the club house.  I’ve never won a bingo game until now and I won big!  The cost to play was about $11 per person but I walked away with an extra $65 I hadn’t expected to have.  It’s also amazing how far this $65 can spread.  Whoopee!  We have gas money!

The following morning we headed into town.  We had money burning in our pockets from all that bingo cash.  Well, that wasn’t quite it.  The laundry needed to be done and we had no detergent.  Duchess needed food and she had none of that either.  My winnings took care of those expenses too.

We knew we could make reservations at this park for two weeks but we only made it for one. After all we had other places we wanted to visit.  We were starting our northward journey and this was just a stopping off place.  However, after spending a few days here we liked it so much we decided to extend for another week.  Only time will tell if we really spend another full week but at least we have that option now.  Besides I won that extra money at bingo and that just about covers the cost of the whole week!

This was the morning exercise group.  Don’t look for me in that lineup.  I was busy watching and eating breakfast.  That was my morning exercise.

The Tiki Bar is a hopping place here during happy hour.  People seem to flood in for the specials.  We were no exception on Wednesday.  We met Linda there and again used some of that bingo money for dinner.  Again, it’s amazing how far that jackpot can go.  We’ll take the rest of it with us to Lake Havasu in a few days.  I think we have some left.  Maybe we’ll even win more tonight.
