After
breakfast we picked up Larry & Barb for a trip to the Mesa
Marketplace. It only took Barb 3 minutes
for her first purchase – a pull golf cart for Larry – which Terry took back to
the truck which of course was still nearby.
We checked out all 4 rows and were ready for a burger at “In and
Out”. Next was a stop at WalMart where
Larry got a BBQ and Barb got a printer.
The last stop was Famous Footwear for sandals as Larry did his own
packing and kind of forgot a few items.
Terry
went to the courtyard when we got back but I was ready for a little down time
and stayed home. Terry got back just
after 6 and we joined a group across the street at Dave & Phyllis’ for a
drink. I was making dinner at 8:30!
Jan 18th – Sat
I
boiled baby back ribs for tomorrow and sorted out 2 small loads of laundry before
Moe stopped in with his coffee to have a chat.
He was still there when Jerry & Becky brought over a stack of
camping magazines and they stayed for coffee.
Larry made a quick visit to give Terry a sample of some rope that he
needs. When they all left we just had
time to get the laundry done before we had to be at the toy hauler to show it
to some friends.
We
went out to do a couple of errands and get diesel and then joined a few people
in the courtyard to listen to music. It
is from 1 to 3 on Sat but they extended it an hour and we ended up leaving at
3:30.
We hopped on the motorcycle and went to find Bob & Claudia’s place as they had a brand new CanAm delivered today. It is gray and has a few slightly different trim features from ours.
There was an impromptu HH at our patio when Brad & Clare, Brian & Bev and Ron & Terri came by to show us their costumes for the tennis club dance which had a 20’s theme. They all looked great but Brad had only tennis shoes to wear with his suit. I asked his shoe size and was happy to loan him a pair of Terry’s black slip-ons which finished his look nicely.

We
gobbled down a grilled cheese sandwich (luckily we ate some wings at the
courtyard) and hurried over to Dennis & Gloria’s to play Ponytail Canasta
with them and Rick & Vi. Again I am
sorry to report that the guys won 2 hard-fought games.
Jan 19th – Sun
We
took stuff to the toy hauler, went for ice and a few groceries and put that in
the toy hauler as we are going to Quartzsite for a few days. Brad brought the shoes back and reported that
the dance was great and his feet were comfy while Clare suffered in her rented
heels! Larry & Barb are coming with
us to QZ so they brought over their suitcase and we headed back to the storage
area. We hooked up the toy hauler, went
through a learning curve loading the motorcycle and headed west.
We
stopped at a rest area and had lunch. We
pulled into our friends Clem & Marlene’s about 1:30. We hadn’t told them about the new toys so
they didn’t think it was us when we first drove in. We parked, unloaded the bike and I cleaned
the toy hauler up as I hadn’t washed the floor yet. Then we proceeded to the serious business of
drinking, talking & eating!
