Jan 14th to 16th - DHS

Jan 14th – Fri – DHS
I put a roast in the crock pot before we played in the golf scramble this morning. There were a lot of people playing and lunch was not until 12:45 so Terry had lots of time to arrange to get new grips on his clubs by the pro at the golf course here. We had a good hamburger for lunch and Terry won $3 – big money!
A group decided that we should go to the VFW for rib night so I put the roast & gravy in the fridge and we picked up Larry & Barb at 4:45. It was very busy and there weren’t enough volunteer servers but we finally got our meals which Terry & I rated just OK.
We got back just in time to grab a drink and walk up to the hall for a husband & wife music & comedy show called Laughing Bird. It was 2 hours and very enjoyable. If any blog readers see this group in their area, we would recommend that you attend.

Jan 15th – Sat – DHS
We forgot about the pancake breakfast this morning and went to the street fair at College of the Desert. The parking was jammed and we ended up in the wrong line and paid $3 to park. The temperature was close to 80 today so it was very pleasant to wander & shop.
We had a sandwich when we got back, picked up Terry’s re-gripped clubs and played golf. Once we played through a three-some with a brand new player, we could use the round for practice and hit a couple of balls on a lot of shots. Amazing how many times the second shot had the same bad result as the first shot!!
I saw that Cliff & Pauline (who we visited in Alberta last summer) had arrived so we went over to say hi. After chatting with them a bit, we walked over to Bob & Doreen’s (also from Alberta) for big hugs. We couldn’t stay long as Larry & Barb were picking us up to go to the Elk’s again and we finally completed the application to join. We were told that Saturday was steak night but discovered that this Saturday was salmon so we all came back to our place and had roast beef dinner.

Jan 16th – Sun – DHS
The laundry room was fairly empty late in the morning today so we got that chore out of the way. After a late lunch, we played a round of golf. We started behind a foursome with 2 very slow women players but luckily they let us play through on the 3rd hole. We caught up to Cliff & Pauline on the 7th hole and they asked us to come over for happy hour.
Terry had a very good game so guess there is hope for him yet! I went back to my erratic ways.
Larry & Barb and Terry (of “Terry & Eileen”) joined us at Cliff & Pauline’s. Terry left just before 6 to play Texas Hold’em and I came home about 6:30.
I had a nice chat with Aunt Jessie and then with sister Marg. Terry came in 2rd in poker and won $25.
