Sept 30th to Oct 3rd - Mesa

Sept 30th – Mon
Dennis & Gloria introduced us to “Candy Crush Saga” and now we are hooked!  I lucked out and got the tablet while Terry is playing the game on his phone. 
We took a break to do the laundry and it is nice that there are still not a lot of people here so there is no wait for machines.  I made breakfast when we waited for the washers to finish.  After putting away the laundry we really got into the stupid game!
About 1:30 we went to Fat Willy’s to have a hamburger for lunch and stopped for groceries on the way back.  We were just in time to listen to MCY and have a few dances with the Weezul Brothers.  It was in the ballroom again as it is too warm for the musicians outside.
As we were walking back, Ann waved to us and told us to come over.  Dennis & Gloria were sitting outside with Bruce & Ann and we ended up drinking & talking until 7 when Gloria & I broke up the gathering so we could watch DWTS.  I am not as thrilled with the “stars” as in past years.  We didn’t need dinner so just had dessert, watched TV and cussed at Candy Crush! 

Oct 1st – Tues
Terry amused himself with computer games when I went to exercise class.  The instructor locked her keys in her car so Robin & I decided the class should go to the fitness room where we set up a circuit like the instructor did last week.  It worked out very well.
We had to go to MCY today as Curtis Knox was playing.  He lives in the park and puts on a good show.  Then we went for dinner at Dave & Phyllis’ – very good taco salad and a yummy berry crisp.  I might need more than 2 days a week of exercise! 

Oct 2nd – Wed
Bruce & Ann picked us up at 8:35 to go golfing at the Arizona Country Club.  As the name might indicate, it was a very nice setting & course.  Lots of water & hills on the front and hilly desert on the back.  Bruce got a tee time online for a great price since it is early in the season and the course is being prepared for over-seeding.
We hit the pool when we got back.  Terry put on a shirt and moved to the courtyard to listen to music but I stayed by the pool and visited with Bruce & Ann.  I just had enough time to make coleslaw and we went to Dennis & Gloria’s for dinner with Larry & Julie and Bill & Lauri. 

Oct 3rd – Thurs
Things are not quite organized here.  Four of us showed up at the Fiesta ballroom for exercise class (according to our instructor last week and the schedule) and had to rush back to Val Vista ballroom when someone arrived to post a notice on the locked door saying it was still at Val Vista.  When I got back & showered, I made lunch and then went shopping with Gloria.

Gloria is going to make toppers/valances for her park model windows and wanted a second opinion on some fabric.  We both decided that the material she saw a couple of days ago was not going to work so we went to Hobby Lobby.  Gloria decided to buy ½ yard of a possible fabric and we came back to try it out.  It worked so we went back for more fabric & lining and then stopped at WalMart and got a couple of panels for their sliding glass door.
We were tuckered out from shopping so had to regroup with a refreshing cocktail.  Terry was at the courtyard and showed up shortly after I got home.  He said he was going to play poker but Gloria had asked us over for dinner & games.  We played Pegs & Jokers with the fancy outfit that we bought last year and never used.
