Mar 24th to 26th - Mesa

Mar 24^th – Sun

Darlene set up 5 tee times for this morning and we played with Rick & Vi.  The weather was perfect and the greens were as wicked as ever.  Our first tee time was 8:03 so we were at Red Robin for lunch by shortly after noon.  The restaurant was really busy and we had to wait a long time for our food.  Our waiter even brought out 4 baskets of sweet potato fries to take the edge off our hunger!

I caught up the blog & email while Terry watched TV with his eyes closed.  Then he decided it was time for a visit to a casino since we had nothing else on the calendar.  I wasn’t really in the mood to go and this feeling was reinforced when I lost my money fairly quickly and froze in air conditioning while Terry kept playing.

We stopped at McDonalds on the way home to get a burger for Terry and a milkshake for me which turned out to be a bad choice as I was just getting warmed up!

Mar 25^th – Mon

We went out for a late breakfast and then did some shopping for clothes.  We ended up with 2 shirts for Terry and 3 pairs of shorts and a shirt for me.  We also had to find a certain snack for later today.

At 2:30 we rode our bikes with Ron & Terri to a birthday party.  After we went to Rancho’s pool area and found no one there, we remembered hearing that it had been moved and went to Fiesta community center where it was taking place.  It was a 65^th party for Diane LeBlanc and was a lot of fun.  There was music, the Walker Sisters line dance (women & men dressed as women using walkers in a dance), the lawn chair marching group, Mary playing a couple of songs on her flute, line dancing and other goofy, fun stuff.  Then we were all fed fried chicken & salads for an early dinner followed by birthday cake.  We had to be out by 6 as the domino group had the room booked.

When we got back, a few people were at Bob & Darlene’s so they invited us over for a drink.  After a while, Rick & Vi came past on a walk so they joined us along with Bob & Sandy who were also at the birthday party.  That’s how parties start here!

Mar 26^th – Tues

We rode over to see Richard & Nancy this morning as they have the same 5^th wheel as us and they had been shopping for décor items.  We ended up visiting for about an hour.  We stopped to see Larry & Julie on the way back. 

I made sandwiches for lunch and then Terry helped Ron move his storage unit to Brian & Bev’s park model where it will stay for the summer.  I went to exchange books at the library and Terry went to listen to music in the courtyard.  After I brought the books back, I joined Terry for a while.

At 4 we went to Bob & Sandy’s for happy hour & pizza for dinner.  Also there were Ron & Terri, Bob & Darlene and Mike & Susie.  We had a great time with non-stop talking, good eats and super friends.  We were home in time to watch the results show of DWTS.
