Nov 9th to 11th - Mesa

Nov 9th – Sat
Jac knocked on our door at 9 to tell us that he saw 2 motorcycle helmets at a yard sale across the street so we immediately drove over to check them out and ended up buying them.  They came equipped with microphones so we can talk to each other but we haven’t tried them out yet.  We were scheduled to leave at 9:30 with Dennis & Gloria and Moe & Trish so we rushed back, picked up D&G and then I took a few minutes to fix my hair which was messed up from trying on the helmet.
We went to the art & craft sale at Fountain Hills which we attended and enjoyed last year.  It got pretty hot by the time we left.  We all made a couple of purchases and had a bite to eat.  When we got back, some people headed to the pool but we were lazy and stayed in.  We had an early dinner and then went to a dance.  Once again, there was a small crowd but I think a little larger than the last dance.  Terry invited Jerry & Becky, Harry & Cathy and Pender & Donna over for a nightcap so it was a late night.

Nov 10th – Sun
I made jelly biscuits for breakfast and we played Candy Crush until we ran out of lives!  Jerry & Becky stopped by and then Nancy returned Terry’s glass which we left there Friday night.  She stayed a while and visited with Becky & me.  Brian & Bev stopped and we went to their place to check out the furniture that they have purchased – very nice.
By this time it was closing in on 2:00 so we went out for a burger and then picked up some groceries.  I had just finished putting everything away when Terry came back to say he was at Moe & Trish’s so I joined him there.  Dennis & Gloria were also there.  Trish brought out a few snacks, Duane & Sue came over with chairs & snacks and Vic & Jackie joined us with more snacks.  Moe had to move their car so we could make the circle bigger to include Joe & Stella, Brian & Bev, Chief, Dave & Phyllis and Ron & Terri.  We watched a lovely sunset and then all headed home for dinner.  Terry had to BBQ in the dark but the steaks were great.

Nov 11th – Mon
Terry left early to play golf and I enjoyed reading and playing Candy Crush for a while.  I had a long phone conversation with sister Marg.  I returned a couple of glasses to Trish and ended up visiting with her & Jackie.  Then it was time for some cleaning before Terry got back after lunch.
The remainder of the afternoon was lazy since I didn’t feel like going to the pool and Terry followed suit.  We drove around on the motorcycle to find a place in the shade to take a picture which I then posted on the blog.
After dinner we watched DWTS and Blacklist which is our Monday night ritual now.
