Mar 17th to 21st - DHS

Mar 17th – Thurs
We were very lazy this morning so I was making cinnamon rolls when a newer acquaintance – Louis – came by so we could set up a time to get together with them. After eating, we went for a walk to check for tee times, made sure we were signed up for a table for the dance and visited with a couple of people for a while. We ended up walking quite a lot. Moe came back with us and sat outside watching TV with Terry while I caught up on the blog.
At 4:30 we went to Larry & Barb’s for their annual St. Patrick’s Day dinner of corned beef & cabbage – of course. Also there were their neighbor Jerry, Ron & Sharon, Moe & Trish and Dave & Laraine. After another good dinner, we all went to the last dance of the season here at the park. A lot of people attended so the floor was quite crowded.

Mar 18th – Fri
Another golf scramble this morning where neither of us won any money. We had a good fried chicken lunch and then went grocery shopping. I was planning on an appetizer that included pickled asparagus which we usually buy at Costco. Of course they did not have any today and neither did any of the 4 more stores that we tried. So I had an hour to make devilled eggs for a gathering at 4:30 at Louis & Judy’s site.
Also there were Terry & Eileen and 2 other couples who we have seen but never met - Leroy & Sonia and Garth & Margie. It was quite windy but warm so we sat outside to drink & eat until the sun went down and it cooled off. We all fit cozily inside to continue the gabfest. Judy & I discovered that we had both programmed computers so we had a great time “speaking our own language”.
We came back to drop stuff off and then walked over to see Moe & Trish – and of course Moe poured us another drink! Trish is leaving tomorrow to go back to work so we wanted to say goodbye.

Mar 19th – Sat
The wind was wicked last night and continued today. Yes, according to a lot of people, there is more wind this month than usual.
Of course the wind left us no choice but to go to a casino – Spotlight 29 this time. We ended up spending our allowances but took a long time to do so. We stopped at a WinCo grocery store – still looking for picked asparagus. They had some very small jars for too much money so I decided to make my own and bought the ingredients that I was missing.
After dinner, I pickled the asparagus before getting my nose into a good book.

Mar 20th – Sun
After breakfast we walked up to check things at the clubhouse and made a tee time. Terry C. was just finishing his tennis games so he said he would join us. Moe was doing laundry and could also play. We had time to wash the truck inside & out before playing golf at 12:30.
We invited Terry & Eileen to come down in a bit for a drink, stopped to talk to a couple (Chuck & Faye) at the end of our street (haven’t met them before) and invited them to come over as well. We passed our neighbors Jim & Debbie on the street and invited them. Now Terry was in party mode so we also invited Eldon & Elaine, Barb & Larry and Leon & Marilyn. Our neighbor Paul also came by for a while. Luckily it was warm so we sat out until the last people left about 7:30.

Mar 21st – Mon
We had a tee time with Leon & Marilyn at 8:30 this morning but it rained at 8 and was iffy so we made a new tee time for 10:30 and came back to our place for coffee & cinnamon rolls. At 10:30 it was windy & cool but we didn’t get any rain during the round.
We had to get a few groceries so we grabbed a hamburger while we were out, then I made some appetizers. Terry’s brother Skip & his wife Kathy and their friends – and ours – Pat & Donna came over at 3 for drinks, appies and to see our new rigs. It was pouring rain when they arrived and remained very cool so we stayed inside for a wonderful visit.
