Isn't it interesting how things work out sometimes? We came to Yuma not knowing where we would stay. We had researched the area and found only 1 park that had tennis courts for Ron. We visited that park and found it was full, so we looked at a few others, but no tennis. We needed a small propane tank, so we stopped to buy one as long as we were out and about. Ron was talking to the salesman and told him we were looking for a park to stay in. He told us to try his park as it had tennis courts. He gave us directions and away we went. Turns out it was Rancho Realto where we are now staying. They do not have a website, so we would never have found them without his help. We have since gone and thanked him. Now we are in the park and we had to choose a site. How did we know what to pick? They told us to drive around and take a look, but they all look pretty much the same. We went back and I told her 294 would be just fine, as she had told us some tennis players were near by. Little did we know at the time that our site would have the best neighbors. We couldn't have chosen any better. They are Keith and Sheral Scott from Olympia. Keith fishes the Cowlitz, so as you can imagine the boys can talk fishing for hours and they have. They know the same fishing holes, gear and fisherman. They have gotten out the map and looked at the river and compared notes. Keith's son sends fishing reports so they know what is happening at home. Ah, even more to talk about. As it happens Sheral wanted to make a quilt for a new great-grand baby. She thought she had chosen a pattern that was to hard as she was having trouble getting it started. I'm not the most experienced quilter, but I was able to help her on this one. As of today the quilt is pinned together and she has started the quilting. This was great fun for me and also helped Sheral out. We have had a great time with these 2. Whether it's playing Card Bingo, going out to dinner, having DQ Blizzards at 8:00 PM, exploring the Yuma Fun Factory, visiting the Yuma Park and Swap, playing cards, or just visiting, they have been great neighbors. The boys are already talking about getting together on the river this summer, or maybe sooner. They hear the Spring run is supposed to be great!!!
