Oct 16th to 18th - Mesa

Oct 16th – Sun
We were heading to Costco for a couple of items and decided to stop for breakfast first. On the way back we picked up some items at WalMart. We were watching TV outside when Dennis & Gloria arrived and drove by our place first. They didn’t stay long as they were anxious to check out their park model which they only had for a week before they left last spring.
We had previously invited Dennis & Gloria for dinner the day they arrived so they returned with a drink in hand within a couple of hours. They had only eaten breakfast as well so we ate dinner early and enjoyed catching up on news.

Oct 17th – Mon
We picked up Billy and made a trip to Total Wine this morning. Later we went looking for something to wear for Halloween but ended up with an air pump and a slow cooker instead. My crock pot had a crack in the bottom which looked as if it went all the way through so I didn’t want to take a chance on a meal, and possibly the countertop, being ruined.
We walked over to Dennis & Gloria’s – with a drink in hand of course – and Terry ended up helping Dennis raise the window awnings on their large living room windows.
We had a quiet evening with dinner & DWTS.

Oct 18th – Tues
After breakfast, we went to find a car wash as you can’t wash your vehicles in the park. We found a full service wash that did an excellent job and now Terry will be able to keep the truck clean with dry wash. Then we carried on to a casino where it didn’t take too long to lose our allowances.
We stopped for a late lunch on the way back, turned on the AC in the stifling hot 5th wheel and sat outside to read & watch TV. Dennis & Gloria stopped in for a visit and to tell us about their efforts to find a bigger TV that would still fit in the spot available. Eventually Terry made us all a drink and then Ron & Terri from next door joined us. A bit later, Julie came over in her golf cart and had everyone in stitches as she was in fine form.
We had some leftovers for dinner and watched DWTS.
