We
started out with a visit to a bank and then to KMart where I got a couple more
blouses. Next we went to Kohl’s on an
unsuccessful attempt to find something to go with a pair of burgundy/purplish
pants that I bought in a weak (dumb?) moment.
Then another shopping expedition to WalMart to stock up on items that we
won’t have to worry about for a while once we hit the road.
After
putting everything away, I made lunch and then Terry delivered some chairs to
Larry & Suz for a get-together later.
Dennis & Gloria stopped by to chat for a while. Just before 3 we went to the courtyard to
listen to the Brookharts duo. I took
videos of several line dances so hopefully we can review & practice them
during the summer.
We
went to Dennis & Gloria’s for dinner right after the music was done at
5. I helped Gloria make chicken thighs
with Yoshida sauce which they had once at our place and loved. When we finished eating, we all went to Larry
& Suz’s and joined the party in progress which was to introduce Larry’s
sister-in-law Faye to some of us in the park.
We
had a scare and a bit of a wakeup call after the party. Ron, Terri, Sue & Duane came over on
Brian & Bev’s golf cart which is being stored at Ron’s right now. When they left, Duane was standing on the
back and bouncing back & forth. When
they got to Duane & Sue’s rig and turned a corner, Duane fell off and hit
his head. He was incoherent and
breathing strangely so Ron called an ambulance which was here by the time we
loaded up chairs and drove back. Duane
was talking but could not remember the date or day of the week which is not
uncommon with us retirees! So the
ambulance attendant asked different questions.
Duane did not remember falling off the cart and had a big lump on his
head so they took him to a hospital and Sue rode along. CAT scans & x-rays showed nothing wrong
so they took a cab back a few hours later as they thought none of their friends
should be driving after drinking to pick them up.
Mar 28th – Thurs
Terry
left early to golf with Ron, Bob & Bob.
I puttered around doing whatever I wanted (!) and then went
shopping. When I was closing the back
door on the truck, I noticed that a decorative molding strip was loose on the
bottom edge so I put a piece of double-sided tape underneath so it wouldn’t
come off. I had fun running around but
didn’t buy much.
I
was waiting for Terry to get back so we could go to lunch in the
courtyard. He finally got back about 1:30
and he had gone for lunch with Ron & Terri!
I asked why he didn’t call me and he said he didn’t want to bother me
while I was shopping! So I made my own
lunch.
We
went to listen to music in the courtyard and did some line dances. Lovely weather. We had a light, early dinner and then Pender
& Donna picked us up to go to a dance at Sun Life which is another RV
resort not far away. Richard & Nancy
joined us there. The line dancers at Sun
Life do very different dances so Nancy would start something that we knew and
the 4 of us did our own thing.
Mar 29th – Fri
I
made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then we joined a group on the street
saying goodbye to Bob & Darlene.
They didn’t leave until close to 10 so we had a nice chat with everyone
while we were watching them get packed up.
I
showed Terry the problem with the moldings on the truck yesterday so he talked
to Mike who owned a repair shop. Mike
recommended that we take the truck to an auto body shop so that is what Terry
did. Mike picked Terry up on his
motorcycle so Terry didn’t have to walk the few blocks back.
We
went again to the courtyard for music & dancing. I put meat & potatoes in the crockpot and
asked Ron & Terri to join us for dinner.
We barely finished when people started arriving for another impromptu
gathering. We had stored some chairs at
Dennis & Gloria’s so Terry took the dining chairs out of our rig. I think we ended up with about 15 people and
finally shut it down about 10.
Mar 30th – Sat
We
are leaving tomorrow so Terry got up early and started packing up. We had a lot done by the time we had to pick
up Dennis & Gloria to go for breakfast at Mickey D’s in Apache
Junction. We stopped at JoAnne Fabrics
on the way back so I could get some thread.
I
did laundry while Terry continued with getting everything ready to get on the
road again. We went to the courtyard at
1 for music that was OK but not suitable for dancing. I left when it finished shortly after 3 and
did some cleaning & dinner prep.
Terry came back at 4 which is when Cleo & Roger stopped to have a
drink and say goodbye. Larry & Julie
arrived shortly after. Just as we were
about to eat when everyone left, Sue came over and said some people were
getting together at their place so we ate and joined them.
There
were quite a few people arriving & leaving and as usual we were the last to
leave. We had just got back when Richard & Nancy
came back from getting a cell phone repaired and stopped to say goodbye. I made 3-2-1 cake for all of us and we ended
up chatting for over an hour.
