One of our favorite things to do while in Yuma is to go to the Yuma Outdoor Marketplace—tons of vendors and fresh fruits & veggies to boot. We were on a mission to find unusual socks—weird I know, but we have an upcoming RV rally with a Sock Hop theme, and we are all requested to wear unique socks. Lucky for us, Dan & Jenny, as well as Boomer friends Ben & Ken Marler, wanted to accompany us on our hunt.
We met Bea & Ken Marler
,who also full-time, at a R(o)ving Rod's crabfest in Winchester Bay, OR in September 2004,, and have been fast friends ever since. It was our 1st year on the road, and since they'd already been on the road for many years, we found much to converse about. Thank goodness they befriended us, and made us feel welcomed at an event we didn't know another soul. But because of their warm greeting and willingness to introduce us to several other Boomers we had a blast. We have since met up with them at several other places, including our stay in Florida in 2006. In fact it was Bea who drove us to the airport so we could fly home to Portland for Christmas and picked us up on our return. We feel thankful for good friends like Bea & Ken.

here in Yuma, just around the corner from the market, and we were happy they wanted to enjoy the day with us. They've own their lot for awhile but have always rented it out for the winter season, until this year. They thought they'd stay awhile and enjoy all the park has to offer. Bea invited Jenny & I to tour her homebase via their golf cart
, oh yeah we were game. Daisy, the Marler's cute little dog, came along for the ride. We buzzed all over that park, with Bea pointing out things of interest. This rv park is huge with a full agenda of activities for residents, I can see why so many snowbirds are attracted to this park.

Good news our mission was accomplished (socks were found), veggies bought in addition to few miscellaneous items that were also purchased. And of course since we all felt this was a successful day, we decided we must end it it on a satisfying note—FOOD! So a filling early dinner rounded our day!
