Terry
left for golfing at 8:20 and I stayed in bed to read as I went to bed and woke
up with a sore throat and congestion.
Ernie & Dianne stopped by for a chat and an invitation, Larry R
brought his computer over so I could help him load Turbo Tax and Dennis &
Gloria made a quick stop. Reading,
computer games & the blog filled the rest of my time until Terry came back
about 1:30. He went to the courtyard to
have lunch but I had a smoothie and wasn’t hungry.
I
went across the street at 2:00 to Brad & Clare’s to celebrate Phyllis’
birthday and Terry came after he had lunch.
I stayed in the background to I wouldn’t infect anyone and didn’t stay
very long. The party lasted until after
5 and I was sorry I had to miss all the fun - but I did get to enjoy the
laughter through our open door & windows!
Ron
brought over a plate of very good spaghetti for my dinner while Terry joined
Ron & Terri and Bob & Darlene to eat.
I am a firm believer in taking it easy at least the first day of any
sickness so I really am not being anti-social.
Mar 11th – Tues
I
was pretty lazy again this morning and just puttered around. Terry worked on wiring the GPS on the
motorcycle which I interrupted with a sandwich for lunch.
We
went to the courtyard to listen to Van Arlon.
Terry did some line dancing but I purposely wore “non dancing” shoes so
I would just rest & relax. I left a
little early to get dinner in the oven so we could eat early before line dance
lessons.
Then
line dance lessons were cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. We took the motorcycle to check if the Rancho’s
patio was available but it was being used by a private party. So we stopped to visit with Dave &
Sandi. When we got back, we walked over
to see Dennis & Gloria and kept going when we saw their curtains were
shut. Rick & Vi were at Duane &
Sue’s so we joined them for a while.
Mar 12th – Wed
We
left at 10 with 9 other motorcycles (13 riders) for a ride to Kearny which is
south of Globe. Our leader Al took us on
a great little loop first that went through desert areas and then past a lovely,
unexpected golf course. Once we went
south of Hwy 60 on Hwy 177, we saw HUGE silver mines. We stopped at a bar in
Kearny for lunch. A lady at the bar took
our food orders and phoned them next door to a restaurant for delivery to the
bar. It ended up taking a long time to
get lunch. We came back on Hwy 77 (with
a quick stop at “Christmas” for photos) to Globe and then back on Hwy 60. The entire ride was just under 200 miles and
my butt let me know it was that long!
We
made a stop at Fry’s as we were due at a party at 4 (it was now after 4) and I
had to figure out what to take for food since we weren’t back early enough to
make lasagna which I had planned. We
changed clothes, threw some shrimp into macaroni salad and went to Third Street
for Ray & Viv’s annual party. They
host it with 2 other couples and Gloria counted 124 people attending. They have a karaoke setup which provides
music for singers all night – some better than others but all having a
wonderful time. We even did a little
line dancing in the street.
I
still have a cold so I left about 8:30 and Terry wasn’t too far behind.
