Sept 22nd to 25th - Mesa

Sept 22nd – Mon – Mesa
I REALLY need to get more disciplined about entering the blog. Darned if I can remember most of what we did today after I caught up the blog!
I do know that we went to the pool and Howard & Gina were there. When we were all sufficiently pruny, we came home to change and then rode the bikes back to their place so we could check out their 5th wheel and have a drink. The layout of their Mobile Suites is very similar to ours. We ended up having several drinks – Howard shared a very nice bottle of Scotch with Terry – and some snacks that ended up being dinner!

Sept 23rd – Tues
We didn't have much going on today so after coffee, etc we went to the casino. When we got back, Terry went to check the mail and talked to Chief. A big group was going to Organ Stop pizza so we went to find Howard & Gina to see if they wanted to join us. There were in the pool but wanted to go so we gave them barely ½ hour to get home & change and we picked them up.
We arrived in time to join the group & listen to part of the first set of music. Then we stayed for part of the second music set.
It still wasn't late so of course Howard & Gina had to come in to see our 5th wheel and have a drink(s).

Sept 24th – Wed
We did laundry this morning. When the clothes were washing we walked over to talk to Beth and then went to the office to put money on the laundry card. While I was putting clothes in the dryers, Terry went back for a couple of empty water jugs and returned sunglasses to Howard. So we got a tiny bit of exercise!
Larry came over to pay us for a step stool that we found for them and said he had moved Julie's crystal from the china cabinet but he couldn't put the cabinet in his car. So we went and got the cabinet, put it in their park model and visited for a bit.
We made a trip to WalMart to get a frame to replace the one with the picture of me & my halibut which fell off the wall. We had a light late breakfast there as well. Then we had a lazy couple of hours before going to music in the ballroom.
A new singer – Dakota – provided very danceable music. He has a very nice voice, a county look and a bit of a “performer” set up rather than just a bunch of speakers. We did a few line dances in addition to 2-steps & waltzes. Bob & Bobbie (line dance instructors) arrived late today in the park and came to the ballroom to have a bit to eat. It was very nice to have Bobbie lead us in a couple of line dances. We went to Roosters again and will not be going again. A lot of our group has been getting disillusioned with the place so unless we hear of changes we won't be going back. Jerry & Becky, Beth and Charlie & Pat dropped by for a drink afterwards.

Sept 25th – Thurs
We started with coffee & doughnuts and not much new in the way of information about construction projects. Everything is moving along – some things slower than others.
Terry dug out & inflated our float tubes in preparation for float trip on the Salt River on Saturday. On the way back from getting a haircut, I stopped at Patti's to pick up her tube as she cannot go and is lending her tube to Beth. Of course I had to visit for a bit.
I made a late breakfast/early lunch before we went to do a bit of shopping. We returned the external wifi connection that we were going to use on our old computer and got some groceries. When we got back we were in time to join a group in the Fiesta pool.
Now it was time for some dinner prep as we invited Howard & Gina over for baby backs for dinner. They brought salad, dessert & wine so it was easy for me. We had our usual great time with them.
