Nov 21st to 24th - Mesa

Nov 21st – Fri
We took Ron & Terri, Bob and Bruce to an RV sale with multiple vendors at a stadium in Tempe this morning. There were a lot of interesting rigs including many large 5th wheel toy haulers. No one actually got as far as buying anything but we all got good ideas & information. On the way back we stopped at Olive Garden for lunch. As I mentioned before, Terry isn't particularly keen on it and is now even less so! I told him he should have spoken up when it was mentioned – everyone in the truck was entitled to their opinion.
We didn't have too long before heading to MCY. I waited just a bit and ended up having a nice little visit with Gloria. Wayne & Deb were singing and we did a lot of line dances. The weather was cold this morning but warmed up quite a bit. I optimistically put on shorts before going to the courtyard and immediately returned to get a jacket and put my long pants back on.
We had a light dinner and then went across the street to Bob & Gail's to join a group sitting around a propane fire. Duane got his guitar and entertained us all with a few songs. The group got large enough to add 2 buddy burners for a while and then back to just the propane fire for the diehards.
Nov 22nd – Sat
Terry & Ron helped Joe install 3 window awnings on his motor home. At times there were all 3 guys on 3 ladders with Terry & Ron holding everything steady and Joe drilling holes in his new coach. I spent some time messing about with this & that and popping outside to supervise!
We and Bob & Dar went to dinner at Larry & Suz's. We were then all going to a dance and Suz didn't realize how early we would want to be there to line up & get tables. Luckily Ron & Terri were in line ahead of us and got a decent table. We had time to help with the dishes and decided to got back later for dessert.
Music was provided by Rare Collections and we didn't remember that most of their music is rock and roll. But it was still fun and we did quite a few line dances. Back to Larry & Suz's for banana cream pie & a toddy.

Nov 23rd – Sun
We golfed with the Whiskey Row Hackers this morning. Again pretty cool to start but not long to warm up. I didn't do too well but Terry had one of his better games. We had chili for lunch which was made by Milo & Laverne and served at Bev & Brian's. Yum again!
We moved our toy hauler to the site beside Dennis & Gloria so their son Chris can use it for 10 days while he visits his parents. I started cleaning it up a bit while Terry set up water, satellite, etc. Then we ended up visiting & having a drink with Bruce & Ann and Dennis & Gloria in the toy hauler.
After dinner we went to Dennis & Gloria's to say hello to Chris and to turn on the hot water heater which we forgot to do.

Nov 24th – Mon
Terry golfed this morning and I had a lovely time – computer games, talked to Marg (Pat discovered a young cougar in the chicken house when she went to do morning chores!), looking after some computer chores and shopping but not buying.
Bill & Linda (also have a Spyder) dropped by to see if we were entering the motorcycle in the park's Christmas parade. We visited until it was time for MCY where Rich Mancini played very danceable music. Dinner & TV for the rest of the evening.
