Our
freezing temperatures are done for the year!
And the longer days are noticeable so we should start getting up a
little earlier!
We
went to Ernie & Dianne’s to quiz them about their Samsung tablet and found
a Costco that had some in stock so that’s where we headed next and bought
one. We want to be able to practice line
dances on the street or patio so we also got a Bluetooth speaker. Then it was on to WalMart for a printer. Our printer ran out of ink this morning so we
decided to buy a printer with wireless capability rather than putting half the
amount of a new printer into ink for the old printer. On the way back we stopped for
breakfast/lunch at IHop.
We
had a lot of charging and set up to do when we got back. We printed “business” cards and got the
tablet talking to the speaker before I went to see Gloria & Trish to
organize another get-together.
We
didn’t get to the courtyard until 3:30 and found a lot of people enjoying the
music & the sunshine. I made dinner
and then we joined Larry & Julie and Larry & Suz at Sun Life RV park
for a dance with North Star. We were amazed
at how few people attended the dance.
There were quite a few line dancers and they did a different dance to
nearly every song! The only one that we
knew was the Electric Slide and the first time was a slightly different
version. We were able to join in the
second time for the well-known version.
Jan 18th – Fri
We
played with our new toys this morning and I was just ready to vacuum when
Dianne called. They were going to
Arizona Mills shopping center to get a protective coating on their tablet so I
put away the vacuum and we joined them and Doug & Shirley. We had to wait to get all the coatings
installed so we went for lunch at the Rainforest Café in the mall. We looked for a cover for Doug’s tablet and
also saw a mini SD drive for more storage on our tablet. Unfortunately, the only clerk in Radio Shack
was on the phone trying to solve some problem with another customer so we
left. Ernie said there was probably a
Radio Shack at Fiesta Mall so we stopped, checked the directory and walked to
the opposite end of the mall only to find the store had closed.
We
still had some BBQ invitations to deliver so we got out the bikes. We visited with Dennis & Gloria for a
short time, took a steak bone to Bandit, talked with Ann and then Bruce when he
returned from golfing, stopped back at the rig for dance tickets and delivered
them to Rick & Vi who made margaritas.
We returned in time to go to Moe & Trish’s for dinner.
We
were having a pre-dinner drink when Trish suggested we might start a game of
canasta before dinner. Terry got our
shuffler and folding card table which we put in their living area and we played
a couple of hands by which time the guys were way ahead.
After
dinner, we resumed the game and the women rallied to a close loss! Then we beat the guys rather soundly in the
second game.
Jan 19th – Sat
A
group of 14 went to play golf this morning.
I played with Terri, Darlene and Trish and our spouses played in a group
ahead of us. Behind us were Ernie &
Dianne and Doug & Shirley. Then
there was a twosome – Dale & Deb.
The weather was perfect, too bad my golf game didn’t match the weather!
10
of us went for “lunch” after the game. I
say “lunch” as we were eating at 4:00.
Moe & Trish were riding with us and we made a quick stop at Costco on
the way back. After we unloaded the
truck, we joined a large group across the street at Brian & Bev’s.
I
woke up this morning with symptoms of a cold that has been pretty common in the
park. When the sun went down I headed
inside to rest. Terry stayed a bit
longer but he was tired for some reason and ready to crash as well. At least I didn’t have to make dinner!
