We got on our bikes about
9:30 to see if Dennis & Gloria were running bocce ball this morning. They will be looking after it on Monday &
Friday so we rode over to see Julie. To
our surprise, she was dressed and heading to play bocce ball. I gave Bandit his treat and we carried
on. We rode past the bocce courts and
they were still giving out numbers so we decided to play after all. It got quite hot at the end of the second
game but we had fun.
I made lunch when we got back
just before noon. When Terry put his
kickstand down at Julie’s, it broke right in half so we went to WalMart for a
new one and to get a bicycle bell for me since mine quit working. We got a couple of other items and then stopped
to get the truck washed.
We put our suits on and
headed to the pool with a drink in hand.
The music in the courtyard started shortly after we got there so Terry
went to sit with Julie & Larry but I stayed out by the pool with Dennis
& Gloria and some others. You can
hear the music in the pool area.
We came home for dinner and I
finished reading a book during the commercials in Survivor. Terry had too much sun & fun and fell
asleep in his chair shortly after the show finished!!
Nov 8th – Thurs
We both played golf today but
not at the same course. 7 men went to
Las Colinas and 8 women went to Royal Palms where they put a league with 4
groups in front of us even though we had tee times. So we walked to the eighth hole and played 8
& 9. By then, the other groups had left and we teed off on 1. I did not have a good game – just a nice walk
with good friends!
Some of the women went
shopping after they dropped off their clubs but I didn’t join them. Instead I enjoyed my time alone on the
computer, at the library, reading and putting dinner in the crock pot.
We went to listen to music in
the courtyard at 3. There were a couple
of little rain showers but not enough to head for cover. We left halfway through and went to Dennis
& Gloria’s for happy hour. Also
there were Moe & Trish, Bruce & Ann, Gary & Dianne and Lyle &
Carol. It was nice to have part of
dinner ready when we got home.
Nov 9th – Fri
We got ambitious this morning
and scrubbed our patio mat. I started
with some carpet cleaner in a spray bottle and a small scrub brush. It was working well but Joe took pity on me
and brought over a bucket of soapy water (Dawn dish soap) and a long handled
wash brush. It worked quite well and I
just used my spray for some tough spots.
After we hosed it off, Terry moved the truck and we flipped the mat over
to wash the other side which turned out to be stained and didn’t come
clean. By now we had an audience as Moe
& Trish and Ernie & Dianne were waiting for us to join them to go to
the Marketplace which we did after we quickly finished up. We followed them in our truck since 6 people
in Ernie’s car wouldn’t leave much room for purchases.
We walked all the aisles at
the swap meet and we all bought a few items.
It was 1 by the time we finished so we went to In ‘N Out for
burgers. Everyone needed things at
Costco so we headed there next. There
were lots of cars in the parking lot but no lines at the checkouts for a
change.
Moe & Trish invited us
over for a drink and we were joined by Joe & Stella and then Dennis &
Gloria. It cooled off a lot today so at
5 we were ready to head in and warm up.
I turned some leftovers into soup for dinner – you would be proud of me,
Pat! – and we had a quiet evening. I
found out that the reason my sister Marg didn’t answer her phone on Wed evening
was that she is now playing pickleball in addition to badminton.
