Val
& I worked on a jigsaw puzzle this morning – a fun change. Terry started organizing and cleaning “stuff”
in the rig.
A
Hamburger Fry started at 11 but we know how early people line up so we agreed
to meet Dennis & Gloria at 11:30.
There was a short line while we waited for hamburgers to cook. Claude & Val also joined us to eat in the
courtyard. A lot of people ate in the
ballroom where Randy Johnson provided music.
After
lunch, Val & I returned to the puzzle and Terry continued his clean up
job. When I returned, I dealt with a pot
of wax that Terry had melted and I finished melting all the remaining candles
to use in buddy burners.
We
had a shared dinner with Claude & Val – I had leftovers from our Wednesday
dinner and Val purchased chicken & potato salad which we didn’t use after
the pool party. We barely had time to
clean up the dishes when it was time to go to a dance. We didn’t have tickets and thought we should
be there a bit early. Not to worry,
there weren’t many people at the dance and we had a whole table until we
invited David & Dagmar(Docma) to join us.
The band was Rare Collection and they did a good job of getting the
sparse crowd on the dance floor.
Apr 6th – Sun
We
had a lazy morning with people dropping over to chat and to interrupt our
computer games!! At 3 we went with
Claude & Val to Beth’s brother Rick’s place for a little party. He made chicken burritos with green chile
salsa – very good. We picked up a couple
of items at home and went immediately to Dennis & Gloria’s for dinner (we
ate lightly at Rick’s!) along with C&V, Larry & Suz and Jerry &
Becky.
Gloria
made a great dinner while trying to use food up and not add anything she
couldn’t use as they leave in a couple of days.
We played Newfie Bingo which requires no skill and quite a few nickels
and dimes if you are not lucky. Val was
the lucky one this time.
Apr 7th – Mon
We
said goodbye to Claude & Val when they pulled out about 9. Our neighbors across the street had some
scrap lumber they were trying to dispose of so Terry got a stack of 2x3’s to
make stabilizer stands for the toy hauler.
He borrowed a saw from Ernie and cut all the pieces. We went to Home Depot for nails but they were
too big & split the very dry wood so end of that project for today. We did the laundry somewhere in between
building shopping and having breakfast.
The
weather is really warming up so in the afternoon we went swimming and listened
to part of the music in the courtyard from beside the pool. At 5 we picked up Ernie & Dianne and
Pender & Donna to go to the AZ Opry for Mark Lucas & The Bad
Bunch. It was a great show as usual.
Apr 8th – Tues
We
exchanged the nails at Home Depot and also got a plastic box to organize “nuts
& bolts” so I had a job while Terry built the blocks. We bought a cutting board to place on one end
of the sink I the toy hauler but it was a bit too long. We took it to the workshop and a guy who was
working on a project sanded it down for us.
We tried it out and found it was still too long. Luckily, the guy told us to come back if it
didn’t fit so we did and got it right the second time.
On
the way back, we stopped at a site in Fiesta where we had seen a guy puttering
around on his Can Am Spyder. It turns
out that Bill & Linda are from Farmington which is about 60 miles from
Spokane. The motorcycle is Linda’s and
they have a toy hauler. This is their
first trip with the 5th wheel & bike as they have been looking
after both of their mothers. We chatted
with them for quite a while and then a bit later they stopped by our place to
check out our site.
We
went to the courtyard to listen to Jeff Stephens who is a member of the band
that we saw at the AZ Opry last night.
He has played here previously and is very good. Quite a few people were in the courtyard and
we were all squeezed in the shady spots!
We braved the sun to dance a bit.
Larry
& Barb had us over for HH right after the courtyard. Ernie & Dianne were also there and we sat
in the shade behind L&B’s 5th wheel. Dennis & Gloria dropped in after they
went out for dinner, Doug & Deloris came by and then Gord & Joyce heard
the noise and joined us for a while.
It’s a good thing not everyone was there before the sun went down as the
shady spot wasn’t that big.
Apr 9th – Wed
Larry
& Barb left after 9 – and after their water pump wouldn’t work and the
front jacks wouldn’t come up until Larry plugged back into power. They sent a text a while later saying Larry
had unhooked the batteries while they were parked here. Computer games, email, blog & breakfast
filled the rest of the morning.
The
head on one of my golf clubs was a little loose so we took it to the PGA Golf
store to be repaired. We stopped at
WalMart on the way back for a few groceries.
Terry
went to check out music in the courtyard.
It was moved inside because it was TOO HOT! There weren’t many people in the ballroom so
he didn’t stay long.
At 4:30
we went to Jerry & Becky’s for happy hour(s). There ended up being quite a large group –
just when we think that everyone we know has left.
