We
had the 5th wheel washed & waxed this morning by the
same company (A.N.S. Detailing) that we have used previously and they
did their usual great job. I caught up the blog and we did a couple
of errands in the park while they were working. We went to Home
Depot & Camping World for a few items and I sprayed our largest
weeds with Roundup. The park sprays weeds but they had some issues
this year so we hit the biggest ones so it doesn't look so bad.
A new
singer was in the courtyard – Tiana Ricciardi. She is 21 years
old and recently started singing for a living. She also line dances
very well and joined in for a couple of dances. Nice voice and eager
to learn new songs based on requests.
After
dinner we went to Rancho's patio for a birthday party for Nancy. We
did a little line dancing, a little drinking and a lot of talking &
laughing. In other words, a great time.

I
called the Canadian passport office this morning and found out that
they had tried to call me on Mar 24th & 25th
(didn't leave a voice mail) and then sent a letter to let me know
that my picture was rejected because my mouth wasn't closed and that
I did not provide a credit card number! It was tough to tell that my
mouth was open maybe ¼ inch and I had put a credit card number on
the interactive online form which apparently did not translate into a
bar code. I gave them the credit card number, looked up somewhere to
get a Canadian passport photo and we headed to UPS in Scottsdale
based on a big ad and a phone call.
Of
course they didn't know what the heck they were doing so after 3
disastrous results we went to find somewhere else. But first we
stopped for a quick sandwich and got to the hair salon just in time
for my 1 o'clock appointment. Then we went to a different Walgreens
than we used the first time and got a picture. Next to the post
office to send another registered letter to the tune of $13.66. Hope
this works out better.
We
were ready to relax at the courtyard but didn't dance much to Tommy
G. since most of the line dancers don't like his music and weren't
there. But I got to talk to Julie quite a bit which was nice. We
left early and stopped to talk to our back yard neighbors (Dave &
Mary) on the way back.
I
made deviled eggs and we went to Ralph & Elsie's for a party.
They had 4 tables & 20 chairs from the party wagon (do it
yourself delivery these days!) set up in their carport in a big
rectangle so you could talk to people beside you and across the
table. They provided roasted chicken and everyone else brought
salads, hot dishes and desserts. No, we never get tired of having a
great time with old & new friends!!

Thurs
I had
an eye exam at 10:30 at Costco and we actually walked out of there
without buying anything. We stopped at Fry's for a few groceries on
the way back. After lunch Terry took Bob's grandson Brock for a
ride on the motorcycle.
The
Breeze was in the courtyard and we danced a lot. It wasn't as hot as
it has been lately but I had to wipe sweat from my face after every
dance.
We
went to dinner at Harland & Barb's. Harland smoked/cooked pork
tenderloins on their Trager (??) barbeque – very good. We finished
up with a shot of rum that they brought back from Hawaii that has
macadamia liqueur added. Yum! And we even walked rather than take
the bike the short distance.
