Nov 6th to 8th - Mesa

Nov 6th – Sun
We went to check out brunch in the courtyard but it had been canceled. We met Moe & Trish doing the same thing so we went out to eat with them. We walked back from their site and stopped to visit Phyllis. I worked on the blog while Terry played a couple of games of pool with Ron & Dwayne.
At 4 we went to Billy & Lauri’s for a chili dinner. Neal & Judy and Larry & Julie were also there. The weather has cooled down so we were searching for a chair in the sun rather than in the shade. We ate early and because of the temperature we headed home about 6.
After plugging in the electric mattress pad, we went to see Dennis & Gloria. They were just getting ready to eat so we had a drink and then watched Amazing Race with them. Rather than turn on the furnace when we got back, we crawled into our nice warm bed and watched TV.

Nov 7th – Mon
We went to the office to buy dance tickets and wandered through the “Country Store” in the ballroom. Terry finally found a reasonably narrow leather belt so he was happy. The vendor makes them all the same length, measures your old belt and cuts the new belt to length and punches holes while you wait. We walked over to see Moe & Trish, came back and had breakfast and did the laundry before going to the grocery store. On the way back, we drove to a golf course and made a tee time for Wednesday.
We got back just in time to make a drink – hot rum for me! – and go to the courtyard to listen to music. The entertainer was supposed to be on the calendar but the font was too large and he got bumped so there were very few people. We made a couple of phone calls and ended up with a group of 2 tables. The singer was very good so I hope he is rebooked sometime.
We had dinner and then went to line dance lessons. There was a large crowd with a lot of beginners including Moe & Trish, Dwayne & Sue and Dianne & Ernie. They all came back with us for a drink and to watch the second hour of DWTS.

Nov 8th – Tues
Trish & Moe stopped by for some information and to use our computer & phone to make a dentist appointment to look at Moe’s sensitive tooth. Terry & I went to WalMart for a few items and then to Waffle House for a late breakfast. We visited Garry & Steph who just arrived yesterday and then went to Casino Arizona to get tickets for another show. Of course we had to gamble a bit while we were there and were a bit late for music in the courtyard. There was a bigger crowd than yesterday – the weather was better but still cool enough for jackets – and we danced a bit.
Dennis & Gloria had us and Dianne & Ernie over for dinner. We played a game of Arizona Rummy and watched the elimination show of DWTS.
