Apr 18th to 20th - Mesa

Apr 18th – Sat
I walked to Albertson's to buy a few groceries and then put together a dessert for later. We didn't get too ambitious otherwise.
Just before 2 we went to Bonnie's for a party. We got to tour Mark & Colleen's and Lynette's houses on the same street as Bonnie. Quite a few of the people at the party were going to a cruise with music on Saguaro Lake so a smaller group partied into the evening. We had a nice surprise not long after dark when a church had a fireworks show which we could see right from the deck.

Apr 19th – Sun
We got busy this morning and cleaned out the large storage compartment and the storage box in the back of the truck. We have to be able to put the 5th wheel hitch in the compartment when we leave at the end of the month. Amazing how much room we have when we organize and toss some things.
Not too long after we were done and I had updated the blog, Ralph & Elsie came by to see if we wanted to join them, Al & Linda and Jerry for a motorcycle ride. I made Terry clean the bike before we went! We went to Casa Grande where we had something cool at McDonald's and then went to Ak Chin casino.
I was starving when we got back so I made a couple of snacks for us and Ralph & Elsie who we invited over for a drink to wash down the road dust.
R&E were still here when Doug & Delores stopped in to find a date when we could go to dinner with them. Of course they joined us for a glass of wine so it was a good thing that we had eaten something.

Apr 20th – Mon
The battery in Terry's tablet died and we figured it would be better to get a new, smaller tablet than fool with the old one so we went to Best Buy which wasn't open yet at 9:45. We checked at WalMart nearby and I ended up getting a pair of shorts. Back at Best Buy, a rep from Amazon was just posting a one day, unadvertised sale on a 7” Fire (reg $139 for $79) so that is what we got. We stopped at Costco for a couple of items – we were on the bike – and headed home for lunch. Ron came by with some lemon pie that Mary made using lemons from a friend's tree – yum!
Terry figured out how to make both tablets sync to the Bose speaker so we loaded lots of music from our old computer to Terry's new tablet and some songs for dancing to my tablet.
We took a drink to visit Bruce & Ann but they weren't home so we walked to the pool and found them there. We sat and visited with them for a while and listened to some guy practicing his singing in the courtyard.
We went to Albertson's for salad to go with a steak and ended up getting fried chicken so Terry didn't have to BBQ!
