Oct 31st to Nov 3rd - Mesa

Oct 31st – Fri
Just when I think I am doing great keeping up the blog I get way behind! So I don't know what we did before going to Music in the Courtyard (MCY from now on) which is now actually in the courtyard. We left a little before it ended at 5, gobbled down some leftover dinner that I had heating in the crock pot, put on our costumes and headed to the Halloween dance.
Music for the dance was provided by Harry Matthews. He is not too tall and showed up in a white Elvis costume which actually suited him great. He really gets people involved in dancing.
After the dance, a large group went to Dennis & Gloria's to “christen” their resurfaced driveway/patio. We left about 10:30 and nearly made it in the door when other friends showed up to party some more. Our apologies again to our neighbors for noise after quiet time.

Nov 1st – Sat
Terry went to get tickets for dances in Nov & Dec and then we returned to get tickets for New Years Eve, the managers' happy hour and a Sunday Brunch. Their wasn't much going on at the park today so we went to the casino where we had a late breakfast and donated some money again.
We took it easy the rest of the day and I actually made dinner for a change. Too bad my stomach was queasy and I didn't really enjoy it.

Nov 2nd – Sun
We left for golf before 7 this morning. When the alarm went off at 6:10 I told Terry that I didn't think we could golf in the dark! Terry reported that he did very well on the front nine and I did quite a bit better than last week. The weather was perfect – a vest felt good for the first few holes and it never got too hot. Vic & Jackie took their turn for lunch and did burgers, veggies & chips.
Lots of people are arriving daily now. Terry drove around on the motorcycle and greeted several new arrivals while I rested. We went to say hi to Pender & Donna and chatted a bit until they had to go to dinner with friends. Since I didn't eat much yesterday we had enough for leftovers for dinner.

Nov 3rd – Mon
It was cool enough to turn on the fireplace for a while this morning while we had coffee and played computer games. We returned our costumes, went to the Wild Berry for breakfast and then stopped for groceries at Frys.
Terry got a phone call from the people who are going to do some warranty work on the toy hauler and they needed a serial number from the awning. We have to pull the toy hauler out to open the awning as a motor home is parked beside us. Terry couldn't get to the storage area because of road closures for road sealing so the guy will have to come another day. We stopped at the toy hauler to look for something recently and the battery was dead so Terry will have to charge it before they awning will go out.
We went to MCY and didn't even require full shade – perfect. Lots of hugs for new arrivals and lots of dancing. We had Dennis & Gloria over for dinner and talked about playing cards but somehow the evening got away from us and we just enjoyed drinks, dinner & visiting. And a little bit of Dancing With the Stars that we had recorded.
