Feb 28th to Mar 4th - DHS

Feb 28th – Mon
It’s a good thing that we had a lazy morning as the rest of the day certainly was busy.
We played golf with Cliff & Pauline at 12:40 and had lovely weather. I was occasionally too warm in long pants but then a little breeze would come up and I would be comfortable. Doreen & Bob were driving into the park when we were waiting on the 4th tee and stopped on the road. Doreen ran over to the fence and asked us over for happy hour which of course we all accepted.
After golf I put together a small plate of veggies and we went over to Cliff & Pauline’s where Moe & Trish were touring their motor home. Cliff poured us all a small, spicy, beer & clamato juice then we headed over to Bob & Doreen’s. Their frinds Jim & Swanelle were also there.
From there we had a very short walk to Terry & Eileen’s for dinner. Terry had not seen their park model and we were nearly through the tour when Cliff & Pauline also joined us for dinner. We had a lovely evening with a great dinner.

March 1st – Tues
I played golf with the ladies’ club at 8:08. We had just finished a late breakfast when our neighbor Bill asked if we wanted to golf a bit later with him & his wife Carolyn. It was a beautiful day so we were happy to join them. After golf, we sat in the sun behind their rented park model and enjoyed a beer.
A quiet evening with dinner & TV.

Mar 2nd – Wed
It was Terry’s turn for golf this morning which means I get to catch up on emails and such. I also got in gear and did some cleaning. We invited neighbors Eldon & Elaine and Jim & Debbie over for drinks and dinner. Neighbors Paul & Jody also joined us for a drink but had company coming for dinner.
We sat outside for drinks and then moved inside for dinner as it quickly cooled down when the sun went down. I made Frito Pie (chili, fritos, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce & onions) which was enjoyed by all. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Mar 3rd – Thurs
It was very windy this morning so after breakfast we canceled our tee time and headed for a casino. Not so good this time but we managed to spend many hours there.
We didn’t have lunch so I thawed a couple of steaks for the BBQ and we had an early dinner. This was perfect as there was a dance at the park which started with line dance lessons at 6 which we joined part way through.
We sat with a new group and had a great time. Matt, the musician, said that he would pay $20 to anyone who would jump in the pool fully clothed and come back in soaking wet. No takers. A few songs later he raised the amount to $50 so Terry decided to take him up on it. He handed me his wallet, phone & keys, kicked of his shoes and jumped in. Matt did pay him $50 but after Terry got back from changing clothes, he asked Matt to play “Waltz across Texas” and put $20 in the tip jar. It did liven up the dance!!

Mar 4th – Fri
At the scramble this morning, everyone was talking about Terry jumping in the pool! I played with a fun team and we ended up tying for 5th place. Terry & Barb were on the same team and won the scramble.
After lunch we went grocery shopping. As soon as the groceries were put away, I started preparing a couple of items for a happy hour(s) gathering at our place. I made Salsa Salad & bruschetta while Terry helped me and set up the chairs, tables & bar.
Attending were Russ & Carol (met them at the last dance), John & MaryAnn (golfers), Larry & Barb and Moe & Trish. Everyone left about 7:30 and we realized that Carol had left her sunglasses so we walked over to return them as they are leaving on Sunday. We ended up visiting with them for about 30 minutes before walking home. Lovely weather!
