We
were outside when Bob & Claudia (line dance friends) rode by on their bikes
and stopped to admire the CanAm. Terry
ended up giving them both a ride and then 2 more guys paused to look at the
bike. We fueled up before meeting a
group at Chief & Debra’s about noon to go for a motorcycle ride. The others were Duane & Sue, Allen &
Diane and “Z”.
We
went to Greasewood Flats for lunch. It
is a unique outdoor bar & grill which apparently attracts a lot of
bikers. It wasn’t very busy today. We wandered through the grounds & a large
building that can be reserved for private parties. There is a bandstand and a small concrete
dance floor surrounded by fire pits made from 55 gallons drums.
The
next stop was another biker bar in Cave Creek where we had a beer before
heading for home. We ended up on the 101
and then the 202 highway which is not my favorite place to be on a
motorcycle. Luckily, rush hour was
pretty much non-existent due to the holiday season. We got back shortly after 4 and took it easy
for the rest of the day.
Dec 27th – Fri
We
went shopping for a real variety of things today – jeans, kitchen store, Costco
& groceries at Frys. In between we
stopped for a late lunch. By the time we
put everything away it was too late to work up enough ambition to go to the
courtyard to listen to music. We had
baby backs on the BBQ for a good dinner.
Dec 28th – Sat
I
got up fairly early to make Danish Puff for brunch at Richard & Nancy’s at
10:30. They had a large group, the
weather cooperated beautifully and everyone brought yummy food. Nancy made her “famous” sticky rolls which
were worthy of the praise.
Suz
had texted saying they would be seeing us soon.
She was playing games because I told her to give us a little notice and
we would have them over for dinner when they arrived and the next thing I know-
as we were chatting with Dennis & Gloria – Suz replies and says to come to
49B and give them a hug as they were here.
We all went over to welcome them back and I invited them for dinner as I
had put a small pork roast in the crock pot when we left for brunch.
We
barely had time to gobble down dinner before we had to leave for a dance. Larry & Suz got tickets as well and we
all had our usual good time.
Dec 29th – Sun
Our
golf group played a Scramble today. Ron
picked 5 of the longest hitters as team captains and then drew names for the
teams – another guy and 2 ladies. There
was actually a frost delay and we were an hour late starting. I had a wonderful time which was due in part
to being on the winning team with Brad, Allan & Diane. We had no bogies and a score of 59 – 5 under
par. Our usual lunch at Red Robin
followed the game.
Dec 30th – Mon
We
went to the Motor Vehicle Department to turn in the license for our trailer and
to change my license to AZ but saw the line out the door and changed our
minds. We went to Camping World for a
couple of folding tables, a step stool and a knife rack. Then our usual stop at Fry’s for groceries,
home to put them away and on to the courtyard to listen to music.
An
impromptu party at Dale & Sharon’s was set up so we came home to make a
drink and rode over with Jerry & Becky. When Terry needed another drink, he came home
to make it and rode the motorcycle back.
Then he didn’t get to drink much as everyone wanted a ride! It was a great gathering with a tiny bit of
line dancing.
