Laundry
took up a couple of hours this morning.
I
spent some time trying to print the picture of Phyllis on the
motorcycle and finally gave up and went across the street to CVS. We
dropped it off on her doorstep on the way home. We tracked down some
friends to invite them to an impromptu happy hour/farewell party on
Thursday after MCY.
Fall
River was in the courtyard and Bob & Bobbie were there to join us
in line dances. Once again it was very warm. I actually had dinner
planned but Terry figured we needed to go across the street to
Roosters as Curtis was singing there for the last time this season.
We hopped on the bike and joined a large group of people from VVV and
even danced a couple of times. When we got back shortly after 8 we
were sort of hungry so I made quesadillas and we crashed.
Apr 15th –
Wed
I
made dessert and did some other prep for the party this afternoon
before we went to Red Mountain Cafe for a late breakfast. We rode
around issuing party invitations to people that we weren't able to
contact yesterday and by then it was nearly time to go to the
courtyard.
Dakota
Kid was the singer and he played quite a few slow songs that weren't
right for line dancing but the weather & company were great so it
was fun as usual. Does anyone else notice how many times I use the
word “fun”?!
Terry
got the key for the party wagon (parked a couple of sites from us)
and set up some tables & chairs while I cooked and/or set out
some appies. We barely got started setting up when the first guests
appeared and we ended up with 50 people. Everyone brought their
drinks and an appy. Jim brought his speaker (ours wasn't plugged &
charged?!) so we had some music which kind of got drowned out by
conversations. Terry lit 3 buddy burners and we extinguished them
one at a time as the crowd dwindled & consolidated. Good
friends, good food, good time.
Apr 16th –
Thurs
Terry
got up early to put the tables & chairs back in the party wagon
and to park the truck in our spot rather than next door which
resulted in a “parking violation”! So silly with tons of empty
sites.
Howard
& Gina had offered the use of their carpet cleaner so I called to
see if we could borrow it today. Terry went to pick it up and came
back with the cleaner and Howard who insisted that he would be happy
to do the job for us. I had already vacuumed so he got right to it
and did a great job. We had time to stop at the Wildberry for a late
breakfast and at WalMart for a couple of items before going to Costco
for my followup eye appointment at 12:40. I ordered contacts and we
headed back to rest a bit before going to MCY.
Guilty
Pleasures did their usual good job of playing danceable music. Then
we went to Howard & Gina's for another great dinner with super
friends.
Apr 17th –
Fri
Terry
was a bit antsy this morning and noticed that we could get another
casino coupon so that is what we did. We had breakfast while our
slot play was being activated on our cards. I had a crappy slot day
and Terry ended up losing but having way more fun doing it than I
did!
At
the courtyard we split an order of chicken strips as breakfast was
long gone from our tummies. Road Runner played until 5:30 because it
was the last day of MCY for this season. Jim took a group picture
from the upstairs card room window – just as I came back to get a
new drink for us – so look for Terry right in the front row in the
pictures posted on FB.
We
stopped at Joe & Jean's new park model for a tour and had a nice
chat with them. Terry had wanted to go to Rooster's but by the time
I made dinner and we ate he was ready to crash.
