Cousins......

 7:15 am - Saturday - January 15th - Parker Strip, CA - 55° F, 36% humidity, wind 10 mph out of the northwest......partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 69° F.  On this date in 2016 Steven Dempsey (amazing photographer) took some black and whites of TLE and I, and my friend Michael Vaccari.......↴

.....our view this morning at 7:20 am (6:20 am California time)......↴

After the marathon electrical troubleshooting session Thursday we slept in until almost 8 am Friday.....of course, it felt like 7 am since our bodies are still embracing California time.  I puttered around in the trailer for a couple of hours before retiring back inside the Newell to read for a while.  Around 2 pm we took a walk around the park....

This is a very tight park with a lot of winter residents

.....we walked by Steve's 1982 Newell Classic to say 'HI'.....looks almost like ours, doesn't it?.....

.....Steve has rented this river front site for years now....almost as long as I have known him, and it is a beautiful view......

.....my cousin Lori lives Havasu City with her husband Jeff.  Whenever we are close we try to get together.   The last time we had dinner with them was January of 2017.....it only seems like a few months since we last had dinner....lol!  Lori is the daughter of my mother's brother, Ralph.  Her mother, Connie, just passed on Tuesday after a long battle with cancer.  We met, once again, at Havasu Springs Resort Restaurant at 5 pm where we got a waterfront table for dinner.  Some 2.5 hours later we were still talking non-stop, but it was time to say our 'until next times'.  The restaurant is only about 15 minutes from Echo Lodge Resort via Parker Dam....

......we were home before 8 pm still aglow from our time with Jeff and Lori....love you cousin!
