We
had a lazy morning and I made breakfast for lunch. We took the
motorcycle to Power Square where I looked for shorts but they have
all been cleared out for the season. On the way back we stopped for
a few groceries at Fry's. We saw diesel for $3.39 at a Fry's but the
one where we shopped was still at $3.59. For every $100 per month of
purchases, you get 10 cents off per gallon of fuel. We have to buy
groceries anyhow so we often shop at Fry's.
Bob &
Dar arrived across the street and they were followed shortly by Vic &
Jackie who parked in a pull-through site to unload their motorcycle.
They will move to their normal site tomorrow.
Of
course new arrivals called for another happy hour. It didn't last
into the dark hours as Ron & Terri made dinner for Bob & Dar.
I had started cooking chicken thighs when I was making an appy and I
popped in a couple of times to check on them so dinner was easy.

We
went golfing at Desert Sands with Ron & Terri, Bruce & Ann,
Bill, Grace, Howard & Gina and Bob & Dar. The course just
reopened after overseeding and it was not in good shape. The greens
were shaggy & blotchy – just smack the ball! - and the rough
was so high that you couldn't see a ball unless you were right over
it. Carts were “cart path only” which also slows down the game.
Oh well, we were with friends and in sunshine!! We went to a sports
bar for lunch and managed to get a table for 8 beside a booth for 4.
The lunches were huge so we were all stuffed when we left. This led
to a lazy afternoon.
We
took the motorcycle to Safeway and stopped to say hi to Dennis &
Gloria as they were sitting outside. Gloria asked if we could pick
up a bag of ice for her so they could have us over for a drink. We
put our purchases away and went back to their place. Gloria started
her dinner and we left with a promise to be back to watch some
fireworks that we knew were happening tonight.
We
found out from Robin that the fireworks were starting at 6:30 so we
and Joe & Stella were back at Dennis & Gloria's before they
finished eating! We set up chairs in an empty site behind them and
had a great view of fireworks – both man-made and natural as we had
lightning as well. We moved back into their carport to continue the
impromptu party and were joined by Patti who was out for a walk.

Terri
came by this morning with a list of guests for yet another happy hour
– this time to welcome Brian & Bev – and a request to have
the gathering at our place since we have more chairs & tables.
Makes total sense rather than carrying them next door and most
readers know by now that we love parties & people.
I
checked recipes for a different appy and we went grocery shopping
again. On our way out we saw Terry & Tina unloading a trailer
with stacks of boxes that they shipped from Washington. We had told
them to let us know when the truck arrived so we went back to help
since only Larry & Julie were there. Their carport was stacked 3
or 4 high with boxes when we finished. We had to come home to change
shirts before heading back out.
We
stopped at the CalAm costume shop and picked out costumes to be set
aside for Halloween. This is a nice perk offered to everyone staying
in a CalAm park. Just wear your name badge and clothes &
accessories are free to use and only have to be cleaned before
returning. When we stopped at Fry's we picked up some chicken for
lunch since we didn't even have breakfast.
I
started cooking some sauce for later, paid some bills online and
before we knew it, it was time to head to the ballroom for music.
Rick Jones is not my favorite singer but we still danced and had fun.
Terri left a little early so when we got back our place was all
ready for happy hour and everyone started arriving. So nice to see
Brian & Bev again.
We
did “heavy” appies today since we weren't starting until 5 and,
as usual, the variety and quality of food was great. I think the
last people left about 9:30.
