Linda Phillips finally arrived in Yuma for her winter visit with us. We wanted to introduce her to all our new friends, so arranged a small dinner party of 20 at the local Mexican Restaurant, Mia Fajita.
Let’s see how many I can name, starting from the left. Wilma and her husband (can't think of his name), Jim and Marianne, Marg and Ron, John and Barb Perry, Frank and Dixie, Linda and Mike, Ian and Maude, Barb and John Parent, Mike and Heather (John and Barb’s cousins), Judy and Don . Not too bad. Only forgot one husband's name!
It was a good time and a good meal.
Our next outing with Linda was one we had been saving until she arrived. We went to Lute’s for lunch and then visited the Yuma historical Prison!
Outside Lute’s is a cardboard prisoner without a head. So Linda gets to be the prisoner today! She really enjoyed looking at all the wall art, and even found a picture of the Mayor of Portland!
The Territorial Prison is now a historical site and we were able to catch up with a group on tour to learn a little about the prison. It had quite a history, and was considered by the town folk to be a “country club” because it had electricity and air conditioning before many of the local people did.
The sign above tells a little about the prison. If you double click on the picture you can view it full screen. Press the escape key to go back to the blog.
The entry into the prison State Park is really pretty.
