We
believed the weather forecast for rain & cold weather and
canceled our group golf game this morning. It was a good decision as
it was cold and the course would have been soaked. I used some of
the morning to catch up on the blog.
The
rest of the day has pretty much slipped my mind – again! We went
to the AZ Opry for the first time this season. It was the Christmas
show with enough changes from last year to be a new show to those of
us with failing memories. Instead of alternating chicken & beef
dinners, they are now serving smaller portions of each meat with
every meal.
Dec 14th –
Sun
We
went to Neal & Judi's for their annual Christmas brunch. Judi
does a beautiful job of decorating tables and makes wonderful food.
A propane heater took part of the chill off and some people chatted
in the sunshine in the street after eating.
We
stuck bits of the decorations for the bikes back on before delivering
them to the rest of the group that will be in the parade. Of course
trips around the park on the motorcycle end up with short visits here
& there as well. We made a trip to WalMart which included some
chicken for dinner as I was feeling lazy.
Diane
came over and we made invitations for Ernie's birthday party in
January.
Dec 15th –
Mon
I was
making deviled eggs for later when Phyllis stopped in for a short
visit.
We
went for a late breakfast at Red Mountain Cafe where I enjoyed their
crunchy French toast. We went to WalMart for a few more groceries
and candy to throw during the parade. We waited to get the candy as
the weather forecast has included rain for Wednesday. Today it
looked like the rain would be later so hopefully the parade will
happen.
We
picked up a sign for the parade and delivered it to Allan &
Diane. We ended up chatting with them long enough that Allan decided
it was time to have a drink.
After
dancing to the Brookharts in the courtyard, we changed clothes and
went to Jerry & Becky's Ugly Christmas Sweater party. They
reserved 2/3 of the new multipurpose room in the fitness complex. We
all brought heavy appies and music was provided by Bruce & Duane.
Lots of creativity showed in the ugly sweaters.
Dec 16th –
Tues
Don &
Susan picked us up at 8:30 for a trip to the casino. After getting
coupons and eating breakfast, we all went our own ways to whip the
slot machines into shape. Unfortunately that didn't happen!
We
relaxed & played free computer games when we got back and I got
some dinner started on the stove and then put it in the crock pot.
Van Arlon was playing in the courtyard and Bobbie was there to
suggest line dances so we danced a lot. We ended up eating there as
well since the Tuesday special was steak and/or chicken fajitas that
looked & tasted great.
I put
our dinner in the fridge and we rested before going to line dance
lessons.
