We took Bob & Darlene to
the Mesa Gateway airport at 9 and then stopped for a few groceries on the way
back. I baked a crust for a fruit pizza
while I was making breakfast for lunch.
I let the crust cool while I sorted & spot treated laundry and then
finished making the pizza.
We took the laundry over, put
it in washers and walked back. I worked
on the blog and then headed back to the laundry room with a book so I could
read while the clothes dried. Terry made
a quick trip to WalMart to buy rope lights and was back in time to help with
the dried clothes.
At 4:30 we went to Moe &
Trish’s for the first stop in a progressive dinner. Gloria actually made the appetizers and
served them at Moe & Trish’s place.
At 5:30 or so we headed to Ernie & Dianne’s for the salad course –
and more drinks. Then it was on to
Dennis & Gloria’s for the main course – which was made by Trish. The locations for appies and the main course
were switched as Dennis & Gloria have room for 8 to eat inside at a table
and we knew it would be getting cold by then.
Of course the last stop was at our place for dessert and chocolate
martinis. The think the martinis should
have been the dessert – but the fruit pizza was really good if I do say so
myself! Terry bought a snowman that
repeats what you say as it jiggles up & down and the goofy little thing
provided lots of laughs.
Nov 30th – Fri
We played bocce ball this
morning and Terry & I happened to get on the same team and on the same end
– 8 people on the court. We played
terribly!! Oh well, our opponents had a
good day.
We went to the courtyard
grill for lunch with Moe & Trish.
Terry put out our rope lights and I read for a while. We made a quick trip to nearby Albertson’s to
buy a birthday card and then headed to the 60th birthday party for Joyce.
The party was organized by
Joyce’s sister Sandy and started at 4:30 at the bocce court. Sandy did a wonderful job of decorating and
organizing food. We knew a few people
there and met some new friends. The party
was breaking up at 6:30 when we had to leave to attend another gathering right
next door at Joe & Stella’s as they are leaving tomorrow. When we arrived, there was a large group
sitting around 3 buddy burners. Of
course we were among the last people to leave and were ready to hit the sack.
Dec 1st – Sat
Joe & Stella pulled out
about 9:30 and parked in the street to hook up their car. Trish & I hugged them goodbye and went
shopping at Big Lots with Dianne. Trish
& Dianne were both looking for a repeating snowman but only one of the two
that we found worked and Dianne happened to pick it up. We all bought a few more items and came back
to find Terry, Moe & Brian relaxing on our patio.
It wasn’t too much later that
we, Moe & Trish, Ernie & Dianne and Brad & Clare loaded into 2 cars
and went to Filly’s for lunch and to listen to a band outside. We joined Dennis, Gloria and their son Chris
at a table. At the next table was a
larger group from our park that included Julie who started the whole
outing. After eating, we danced once and
weren’t too impressed with the band. Umbrellas
didn’t shade the whole table so it was quite hot. Moe & Trish wanted to leave early and we
were happy to return with them rather than wait and join Ernie & Dianne.
We stopped at another Big
Lots and found the repeating snowmen – one for Trish and Terry picked up one
for Joyce.
We were ready to watch golf
on TV, catnap & read. About 4:30 we
decided to go for a bike ride but first I put on long pants & a light
jacket. We stopped at Moe & Trish’s
for a few minutes as they were out putting some lights in front of their
motorhome. We went around the corner and
down 3rd street where Dennis, Gloria & Chris were examining the grapefruit
tree in front of their park model. Of course
they invited us to join them for a drink and of course we said yes. So then it was time for a light dinner and
more TV.
