GILA BEND & FRIENDS & A LITTLE FLORA

On Monday, we picked up Ellie and Doug and headed down the road to Gila Bend. 
It is pronounced as Hee-la Bend, and saguaro is sa-wharo.

Speaking of saguaro. 
These photos from the car show how beautiful the landscape is around here.
We are off to meet our friends, Gary and Dawn, for lunch in Gila Bend. 

They drove up from Yuma, to meet us. For several years, usually in February or March, we vacationed for two weeks with these two. Tons of fun with them in Mexico, Maui and New Orleans.

We were happily surprised by the arrival of Clyde and Jane. 
We had a yummy Mexican lunch, and lots of fun conversation. 
From here, we all went to McD's for ice cream, then we all headed back to our winter homes.
A very good time was had by all.

Along the way, we needed a pit stop, and I took some pics of the foliage nearby.
Prickly Pear cactus.

Pretty blue flowers.  

Pretty pink flowers. 

A blooming yucca.

No sunset pic from this day, but there will be some soon!
