MITZVAH SHABBAT~Yuma-AZ

November 26th: Today was pretty much a kinda lazy day.

Lazy morning for all of us … Bleu flopped at my feet.

Holland had been up most of the night; so, he slept until 10 A.M.

I was up with Bleu since 5:54 A.M. … so, I listened to Lamb Messianic songs while I painted my nails - and when they dried, I started work on the last Angel Baby Blanket needed to fill the little box I'd be shipping in the next few days.

Still listening to Lamb :-)

New nail polish.

When Holland woke up, he drank a cup of coffee and was wanting to go to Gonzalez's Produce Stand, off Hwy. #95.

So, that's what we did … we left the resort space "as is" & without consulting GPS ;-)

We stayed in Yuma: and made it without any snafu's; (((thank you Yeshua))) :-)

Made it to the fruit & produce stand without GPS's shenanigans.

Later on, Holland was a tasty steamed Supper with fresh veggies and pork: I love his foodie and juiced drink concoctions - and by steaming our meals (which are now mostly veggies) I'm hoping we will both shed some extra pounds.

Steamed pork & veggies - YUM!

While Supper cooked, I listened to Lamb again, while I finished up the little 15-inch square mitzvah Angel Baby Blanket I had been working on earlier, before we left the house.

Shell edging …

Finished ABB~the last mitzvah item for this box of 12, to be mailed off soon.

A mitzvah is a decisive act that embodies empathy and kindness while bringing us closer to others. Creating these ripple effects of kindness make the world a little better place to be :-)

CIRCLING WITH HUMOR~Yuma-AZ

The morning sky was heavy with gray rain clouds … it looks like a WA sky, here, today; and the air is filled with the scent of grass fire smoke.  Fields are being burnt in mexico, in preparation for crop planting. Del Pueblo RV Resort is very close to the boarder and the atmosphere is a smokey drift haze overhanging the area.

Gray, wet morning.

We have a favorite roadside produce stand that we like to visit every week; we are still learning the roads here … and GPS is insisting on taking us in a continuous half hour looping circle out of our way to get to the produce stand literally mere minutes away from our front door.

It makes no sense at all as to why the roadway was designed this way.

It's nuts.

It's unnecessary.

But at least we were laughing with the absurdity.

Laughter is good medicine right now ;-)

Gonzalez Produce Stand from Del Pueblo RV Resort; 17 mins (11.6 mi) via E County 14th St & AZ 195-Araby Rd

Yuma has the craziest roadway design we've ever encountered …

Holland said, 'NO WAY!' - and found a way around the freeway snafu ;-)

Holland eventually got us from point A to point B without following GPS's freeway route … and we took notes of the street signs overhead, so hopefully, next week, we won't plug GPS in at all ;-)

While gathering and paying for our fruits and vegetables, we also bought some fresh made tamales to eat at home :-)

Fresh cooked Tamales - YUM.

Back home, we enjoyed an afternoon siesta, a leisurely Supper (the tamales were yummy) … and I finished another angel baby blanket, before relaxing with a blueberry margarita.

Today has been a good day of togetherness, good humor, good mitzvah (commonly interpret it as “a good deed”; the term mitzvah comes from the root word tzavta, which means “connection.” What makes a mitzvah a mitzvah is its emphasis on action), and good relaxation :-)
