Oct 7th to 9th - Mesa

Oct 7^th – Mon

We rode around the park a bit before getting water and then cleaned our golf clubs and put them in the new bags that we got yesterday at the Mesa Marketplace.  We took another bike ride to drop off old golf balls at the golf practice net here in the park and then enjoyed the rest of the split pea soup for lunch.

We went to MCY at 3 and had a good time visiting with friends as usual.  After dinner, we went to Dennis & Gloria’s to watch DWTS and Blacklist.

Oct 8^th – Tues

I spent time on the computer – blog, email & @#% games! – before going to exercise class.  There were quite a few people there.  I made a late breakfast before having a shower and getting ready to face the rest of the day.

We made a trip to WalMart for groceries and put everything away just in time to go to the ballroom for cake & champagne to celebrate Val Vista Village’s 40^th anniversary.  Then we stepped next door for MCY.  Bob & Bobbie – line dance instructors – just returned and Bobbie got us up for a couple of line dances that we haven’t done since last spring.  They came back pretty quickly.  There was a larger crowd than usual in the courtyard and if the energy & fun continue like today it will be a great season.

Terry BBQ’d steak for dinner.  We went out to watch the space station zoom across the sky and told Joe to come out to watch.  Then Joe & Stella joined us to watch TV outside.

Oct 9^th – Wed

Our tablet kept turning off in the middle of games yesterday so I uninstalled Candy Crush and reinstalled it using Terry’s facebook name so he didn’t have to keep using his phone to play the game.  I am not going to continue wasting so much time on the game!

After Terry went to the doctor last January for the problem with his hand, we thought the bill was all settled but we had a statement forwarded from Spokane – which was sent here first – that showed money owing.  So I spent time calling, leaving a message and finally talking to a billing person at the doctor’s office.  Talk about wasting time!!  I helped Dave & Phyllis put up their awning as it was getting quite windy.  We rode our bikes to go to the library, the activities office and to get water.  Of course this takes more time than you expect as we had to chat with friends.

Music was in the courtyard even though the band’s music stands blew over before they even started.  Once again it was a fun time and we did a couple of line dances without Bobbie’s help.

We had nachos at the courtyard so we just had a sandwich before Dennis & Gloria came over to play Farkle.  Of course the rules were slightly different from time we played with Dave & Sandra.  Terry won a game, I won a game and then we all adjourned to the patio to have a nightcap and watch TV.
