We
took it a bit easier this morning and then shopped & puttered around in the
toy hauler. At 3 we went to the ballroom
to listen to MCY that was moved inside as it is pretty cool. Van Arlon plays mostly country music so we
did a lot of line dancing.
Terry
figured we needed to keep partying so Jerry & Becky and Larry & Julie
came over for a drink. Then Ron &
Ria and Jean came by to deliver Christmas goodies and we persuaded them to have
a drink with us.
We
were invited to Ron & Terri’s for dinner and Terry got the time sort of
mixed up. Terri said “dinner at 6:30”
and Terry thought that was when we were supposed to show up! Needless to say, Brian & Bev and Mike
& Susie were already there and enjoying what was probably not their first
drink. Oh well – we had a wonderful
dinner with a turkey cooked to perfection on the BBQ.
Sounds
like we all have a drinking problem but we mostly don’t get too carried away.
Dec 21st – Sat
We
finally finished delivering goodie plates on our way to yet more shopping at
the Mesa Marketplace. It was pretty cool
so we only walked 2 aisles before grabbing a burger for an early lunch. We stopped at Lowe’s to get a sheet of press
board and had them make a lot of cuts (for free!) to make shelves in our summer
home. We had a couple of visitors for
welcome breaks at the toy hauler as we were working.
We
went to a dance with Exit 40 and decided that we will skip dances with that
band in the future. They play
non-country music at a high volume. We
were exhausted and luckily went right to bed when we got home just after
10. I say “luckily” as some friends
looking for a party knocked on our door about 15 minutes later. They only knocked once so we ignored them!
Dec 22nd – Sun
We
found out today that the friends looking for a party went to Harry & Cathy’s
and left around midnight. Terry got out
the sewing machine so I could sew straps to secure the benches when we put the
motorcycle in the toy hauler. We
installed the straps and put screws in the shelves. We took a table and a couple of chairs to
Dennis & Gloria’s on our way out of the park for yet more shopping. The purchase price of our new toys is clearly
not the end of the money outflow!
This
time we got sheets, towels, comforter and a few other necessaries. We had to cut short our shopping at Garden
Ridge to get back for a Happy Hour at Brad & Clare’s. Their son Joel is visiting and they wanted to
show him how much fun we have here. I
think he was convinced when there was standing room only on the patio &
parking area and tons of food!
We
headed home (across the street) when it really cooled down and had a quiet
evening.
