Mar 11th to 13th - Mesa

Mar 11^th – Mon

I talked Terry into going for a walk this morning.  We didn’t go as far but it took us longer as we stopped to chat a couple of times.  We had some errands to do and it ended up taking the rest of the morning.  We stopped for a burger for lunch and then ended up having to go out on another errand.

We went to the courtyard to listen to music for a while but had to leave to go to Dennis & Gloria’s for dinner.  Also joining us for dinner were Bob & Darlene and Duane & Sue.  After drinks and a nice dinner, we played a card game called Newfie Bingo.  We have played it a couple of times and you can end up losing or winning a lot of change.  We ended with dessert and a lot more laughs.

Mar 12^th – Tues

Terri came over this morning to plan a “good-bye” party for next week and then Darlene & Sue joined us.  It seems early but some people are leaving in just over a week.  While Terri was still here, we both made reservations in Las Vegas for 3 days when we leave.  Also, Terri couldn’t order an item online with a Canadian credit card so I ordered it for her.

Claude & Val arrived for a visit just after noon.  We chatted for a bit and then went to the courtyard for lunch.  There wasn’t a table in the shade when we arrived but we moved to the shade as soon as a table was empty.  After lunch we sat outside to visit some more and Dennis & Gloria came over as they met Claude & Val previously and wanted to say hi.  Claude & Val left to visit friends at Mesa Regal and Rick rode up on his bike and joined us.  Vi has been sick and had a relapse today so she was sleeping & trying to get better.

We were inside relaxing and I was trying to decide if we needed dinner when we realized it was time to go to line dance lessons.  We reviewed dances for 45 minutes and then tried to learn 2 new dances with lots of steps.  We were ready to watch TV before hitting the sack.

Mar 13^th – Wed

We got the laundry going early and found lots of available machines.  We were done by 9:30 and headed out for another errand.  Back at the rig, I made breakfast for lunch while Terry fixed our propane heater with a new regulator sent to us from the store where we bought the heater.  It was way better than driving 40 miles each way to get it fixed or replaced.

We were just getting ready to get the truck washed (before going to listen to music & line dance at Mesa Regal) when Don & Joanne walked up.  They are friends from Logan Lake BC and stayed here for a couple of weeks last spring.  They are staying at another Cal-Am park in Gold Canyon – Canyon Vistas – and came here with another couple who are also visiting friends in this park.  We can line dance any day but don’t get to reconnect with friends every day so we sat outside and caught up for a couple of hours.

We went to our courtyard to catch the last of the music by North Star.  Our table was the last to leave and we had workers hovering around waiting to put away folding chairs!  We had finished dinner and watching Survivor when Cleo & her friend/dancing partner Roger stopped by for a visit.  We enjoy kibitzing with them on the dance floor and had a really nice chat.
