We
rode our bikes to say goodbye to Don & Susan but they had already
left. We saw that the Country Store was
going on so we wandered through it and didn’t buy anything. I made breakfast, we chatted with Dianne when
she returned our badges that she used to buy dance tickets for friends who are
arriving soon and then Dennis dropped in to shot the breeze while Gloria was
getting her hair cut.
Ron
wasn’t totally comfortable with Terri taking him to the airport and driving
back herself (!?) so we drove them to the airport. Ron is going to a trade show in Las Vegas for
a few days. When we got back, Terry saw
an empty afternoon & evening so it was off to a casino. We went to Vee Quiva casino which is quite a
ways out and which we will not visit again.
It is not very big and was crowded.
We are not heavy gamblers and prefer penny slots. There weren’t a lot of penny machines and
people would save their spots by leaving a bit of money on the machine and
putting ashtrays on the chairs.
We
stopped at KFC for a bucket of chicken since it was nearly 7:00 and I didn’t
feel like cooking.
Mar 5th – Tues
The
weather continues to warm up but cooler weather and even some rain is expected
by the end of the week. Just after
lunch, Dennis & Gloria picked us up to go see Bill & Lauri’s new
condo. They were at the department of
motor vehicles when I called and expected to be back in ½ hour. We were there in about 45 minutes and waited
a while for them to get back. It’s a
good thing we were there as Bill had a desk in a big box in the back of their
car and it took the 3 guys to wrestle it inside.
We
checked out the condo, had a beer & chatted and then toured the amenities
in the development. It is a nice place
with a little patio that faces a lawn and the back of the community center
which means there are no neighbors looking in through the sliding glass doors.
We
headed to the courtyard to listen to Curtis when we got back. We danced a bit and then shared a Reuben
sandwich since we were going to line dance lessons. We arrived at dance lessons as Bob &
Bobbie were setting up their equipment and Bob immediately started reviewing
dances that we were having trouble with.
We just reviewed dances rather than learning any new ones so we got a
good 1 ¾ hour workout. Luckily we had
leftover chicken so Terry could have a snack when we got back.
Mar 6th – Wed
Terry
took the splint and tape off his fingers this morning and it is looking
OK. The middle finger bends straight
down instead of to the side which is great.
The middle knuckle looks slightly swollen but hopefully that will go
away with some use & ice packs.
Our
living room TV has come on with a picture but no sound for the last three
mornings. A reset fixed the problem
twice but it would not reset today so I called DirecTV support and finally
talked to a person. Unfortunately, by
the time he was on the line, the reset that we did with the automated support
had finally finished and the sound came on so he couldn’t – or wouldn’t – do any
more. Will see what happens tomorrow as
the problem only occurs in the morning.
Dennis
stopped by for coffee after he dropped Gloria off for a meeting. While he was still here, Rick stopped by and
had coffee also. I was finally making an
early lunch – no breakfast – when Ernie & Dianne came over. We put lunch on hold and chatted with them
for a while.
After
lunch, we went grocery shopping. After
putting everything away, I had time for some dinner prep before going to listen
to music in the courtyard.
We
went a little early as it was hot and we wanted a seat in the shade. Lots of others had the same idea but we got a
table beside Larry & Julie whose table was only partly in shade. Van Arlon was the singer and he does mostly
country music suitable for line dancing.
We joined in on a lot of dances.
Ron started counting the dances that Terry was doing and he ended up
with 8 ½ different dances. The ½ was for
a dance that he didn’t quite master.
Dennis
& Gloria came over for dinner & cards.
I had sweet & sour pork ready and just had to cook rice and put
dressing on a salad. We played ponytail
canasta before having dessert. The guys
had a large, early lead but the women snuck up and won.
