Oops
– another mostly forgotten day! I know we went to the courtyard to
dance to the Brookharts because that's on the calendar.
Maybe
not totally forgotten after all! Stella & Joe came over to cut
out “chickies” (more on that another time) and we assembled the
“pot of gold” on the last part of the rainbow for tomorrow. I
also hauled out the sewing machine and shortened a T-shirt that Elsie
gave me.
Mar 17th –
Tues
This
morning we decorated the motorcycle for the St Patrick's Day parade
here in the park. A few bikes joined us here and then we all moved
to 2nd Street which was our spot to line up for the
parade. There were 23 entries and we were number 21. There were
lots of people viewing the parade with shady spots jam packed as it
was already hot when the parade started at 10. Our pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow “theme” didn't execute too well but we all
had fun again.
There
were snacks & door prizes in the ballroom for everyone in the
parade and then it was home to undecorate.
We
went to MCY and then right after headed to Larry & Barb's for
their traditional St Patrick's dinner of corned beef & cabbage.
A lot of people that were invited couldn't come as they had tickets
for the Arizona Opry but I think there were 24 people which is a big
group for dinner since Barb made it all except for Irish Soda bread
from Phyllis and some desserts from others.
Another
good time was had by all.
Mar 18th –
Wed
We
picked up Don & Susan and Ruth at 8:30 for a trip to the casino.
We visited the players' club and then went for the breakfast that is
included in the coupon that we can buy every 30 days. We split up to
gamble/donate. Terry did OK and covered my losses.
We
went to the courtyard at 3 to listen to Dan The Music Man. We hadn't
eaten since breakfast and there was a limited choice for food so we
had chicken strips. Then we got to dance in the rain! Actually,
first sprinkles and then rain but we danced anyhow. Silly seniors!!
We
kind of crashed afterwards and ended up with dessert for dinner
again.
Mar 19th –
Thurs
I
forgot all about coffee & doughnuts this morning. We were
supposed to go for a motorcycle ride to South Mountain with a group
but we decided to cancel as it was cool & cloudy with rain
forecast in the afternoon. So we had a lazy morning including a
visit from Howard & Gina.
We
got a burger for lunch and then shopped at WalMart and Safeway. I
finished dealing with groceries and Terry went to the courtyard to
get a table. Just before 3, Sandi came by with her friend Bev who is
going to stay in our toy hauler with her husband Stan. Sandi &
Bob went to Palm Springs for a few days and had arranged to rent the
site beside us for the toy hauler. Unfortunately the people staying
there decided to extend their stay for a few days. So Sandi &
Bev went to the office to get another site which ended up across the
street from Sandi &Bob. I called Terry at the courtyard and he
came back so we could put the toy hauler on the site. We got it set
up and went back to the courtyard. The musician – Fred Rutledge –
was extended to 5:30 so we had an hour to listen & dance.
We
had a nice dinner at home for a change and just kicked back.
