First
thing this morning I put together Salsa Salad for this evening so it could
marinate all day. We spent some time in
the toy hauler installing & figuring out items we got yesterday and
previously. Mike & Susie stopped in
for a chat as they were walking past.
Back at our 5th wheel, Ernie & Dianne stopped in for a
chat as they just returned from a trip to Canada for Christmas. Then we had to meet them at the toy hauler
for “a tour”.
We
went to the courtyard to listen to music since the weather was just
lovely. At 6 we went to Mike &
Susie’s for a New Year’s Eve party. Also
there were Ron &Terri, Bob & Sandi, Bruce, Brian & Bev and Duane
& Sue. Ron provided oysters on the
half shell which some enjoyed while the rest of us watched! All us old folks actually stayed up until
midnight but dispersed fairly quickly afterwards.
Jan 1st – Wed
We
joined 14 others for breakfast at “What The Hell” bar & grill. It is nicer than the name may imply, is
frequented by bikers and has several pool tables. The breakfast special, which we all had, is
eggs/meat/potatoes/toast and 2 drinks which may include Bloody Marys or
Mimosas. All this for $7.99 – a good
deal. We were there shortly before 10
and got back at 11:45 which gave us time to change clothes, fuel up the bike
and meet at Chief’s for a ride.
We
joined Chief & Debra, Ralph & Elsie, Duane & Sue and Al for a ride
to Tortilla Flats. Originally we were
going to eat at Filly’s but by the time we rode past Tortilla Flats to the end
of the pavement, we decided to stop at Tortilla Flats on the way back for a
burger. It turned out to be a good
choice as three of the performers (Mark, Steve & Bill) from the AZ Opry
were playing & singing.
We
got back in time to join a happy hour to welcome Bob & Darlene back to
Fourth Street. We were ready to relax
with TV before hitting the sack.
Jan 2nd – Thurs
Terry
played golf so I started by going to coffee & doughnuts with Terri. Then we walked to the computer lab so I could
sign up for a Facebook class. I sorted
out the laundry, loaded it all in the truck and discovered when I got there
that the water was turned off. I left
the truck at the laundry and walked back to do a few chores. Once the water came back on, I finished the
laundry and started defrosting one side of the freezer before Terry returned.
We
joined a group at the courtyard and moved to the fire pit by the pool when
music finished. Cooling temperature and
hunger pangs sent us home for dinner & TV.
Jan 3rd – Fri
We
went to the MVD again and parked when we didn’t see a line out the door. Surprise, they moved the long line inside and
wrapped it around the waiting room so we left.
We were close to Garden Ridge and had a coupon for 20% off all purchases
made from Jan 1st to 15th so we had to browse and buy a
few more items for the toy hauler. Next
was a stop at WalMart and finally a stop for lunch.
We
made a short stop to put items in the toy hauler and were back in time to do a
couple of things before going to the courtyard – I chatted with Dianne and
Terry went visiting on the motorcycle. At
the courtyard, a few line dancers started a lot of dances and we joined most of
them. I left a bit early to heat the
oven and put in a meat loaf & potatoes for dinner for us, Ernie &
Dianne and Dennis & Gloria. We were
sitting outside having a drink before dinner and were joined by Ron &
Terri, Bob & Gail and Bruce.
We
put our big round table inside for dinner & cards. Dinner was good but I am sad to say that the
guys won 2 games of Ponytail Canasta.
