I
moved staple items from the kitchen into smaller containers for our move and
decided to make “Fudge in Between” bars when I had too much oatmeal for the new
container! I was putting a roast in the
crock pot when Doug & Delores came over to invite us to dinner
tonight. I left the roast cooking with
plans to use it in a couple of days. Terry
did a lot of organizing & cleaning outside.
We
went shopping for plastic containers and tee shirts as I figure that’s what we
will wear a lot this summer. At 4 we
went with Doug & Delores for dinner at the Golden Corral buffet. We were full and ready to relax when we got
back.
Apr 14th – Mon
We
went to the office to change the date to today to move our toy hauler to a site
beside us. A ranger was available
immediately to escort us to site 114 and we set up in short order. First we had to go to the laundry room to get
the wash started. I made a late
breakfast, went back to put clothes in the dryers and Terry showed up to fold
& carry. We spent the rest of the
afternoon moving stuff into the toy hauler.
Just
before 4 we changed clothes and went on the motorcycle to Ralph & Elsie’s. They took their motorcycle and we joined Kay
& Pat and Mel, Wanda & Clare at AJ’s Fairway Grill in Gold Canyon. Kay & Pat were the only ones who knew
exactly where it was so they ended up waiting for the rest of us to show up. We didn’t know it but it was Ralph’s
birthday.
When
we got back, we stopped by our place for yet more booze (Fireball & Apple Pie!!)
and went back to Ralph & Elsie’s where the weather was perfect for sitting
outside with good friends. There was an
eclipse of the moon tonight but not until 11 so we headed home and I got up
after midnight to check it out – pretty special but not “blood red” as I
expected. I got up a while later for
another look and saw more of the moon emerging from the shadow but I couldn’t
get decent pictures with our little camera.
Apr 15th –Tues
Kay
got wonderful pictures of the moon. He
is a great photographer and computer “geek” (that’s a compliment, Kay!) and put
together still photos into a “time lapse” presentation.
We
continued organizing stuff in both rigs.
I also shortened some tee shirts and put tabs on bath towels so they
would stay on hooks on the side of the shower.
Terry went for more plastic bins and card stock for “business” cards.
We
went to the courtyard to listen to Curtis.
There was a decent crowd but we certainly were looking for shade. We invited Larry & Julie over for dinner as
I had a beef roast that I had ready for the crock pot on Sunday before we went
to dinner with Doug &Delores. It
didn’t take much time to cook potatoes and peas & carrots for a simple
meal. We also wanted to use up some
Apple Blossoms from the freezer as everything didn’t fit in the toy
hauler. Mike & Susie also came over
to visit.
Apr 16th – Wed
We
got up early (6:15) today so we could finish moving stuff and closing up the 5th
wheel before Ralph & Elsie came to help with the cover. It wasn’t too hard to put on but that is because
Terry is a workhorse. We made it look
like a Christmas package by tying 2 flat “ropes” long-ways around and then intersected
the same type of ropes going around top-to-bottom. We were all ready for a nice beer &
clamato in the shade when we were done just before 11 which is when Mike &
Susie showed to up to help per yesterday’s itinerary.
We
went to the courtyard for lunch and then Don & Mary came over for a tour of
our summer home. We had a while to relax
before going to listen to music in the courtyard (and to dance) at 3. Julie invited us for dinner so we did a lot
of hugging goodbye, picked up a drink and took the motorcycle to their place.
We
had more drinks (of course) and a nice dinner but ran out of steam early and
headed for bed in our toy hauler.
