The standard for Imperial Dam news for over 7 years is now available everywhere!
The sad thing about the age of the clientele out here on the LTVA is that we are closer to the end of our lives than to the beginning. Every year we lose more and more of our campers. This is the time of year we say good bye to those who have gone on before us. In 2016 we …

Hey Jude reported last month about Yuma’s Costco store called Farley’s. She has just found out that it is closing its doors. So sorry about that, it would have been nice to not have to drive to El Centro.
A recent news flash from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) caught my eye: US life expectancy drops for the first time. In 2015, life expectancy at birth was 78.8 years for all Americans, a decrease of 0.1 year from 78.9 years in 2014. For as long as I can remember, life expectancy has been increasing. I had always attributed …

We are all aging–getting older–and some of use are just plain old. We …

Last season, while wandering around the “Wash” to find interesting things to write about for the newsletter, I happened to meet up with a couple who were here for their first season and they were so impressed that they set …
Far be it from me to let anyone think I am computer literate. However, I have spent many years using a computer for both business and pleasure. I have learned so much from so many, but here in the desert, some good friends taught me how to save some $ both on programs and WiFi usage. Here are a few …
Did you know we have a mini Costco right here in Yuma? Yep, opened in February of 2016, and we love it and shop there regularly. Prices are close to comparable but not exactly the same as Costco for most items (prices are more in line with Sam’s Club) but they deliver! We met one of the Managers (who was with Costco for …
The Gravel Pit Ramada Thanksgiving potluck this year was a tremendous success, which wasn’t a guarantee that morning. We were supposed to have 20-30 mph winds, which is NOT a good thing when you are eating outside. However, the Liberry had sides for the Ramada and with the help of several men they were put up which cut down the wind considerably. We …
