Mar 30th to Apr 2nd - Mesa

Mar 30th – Mon
Another marathon session catching up the blog this morning! We got out the old computer as it has Print Shop to print more cards. We only got 2 pages done when the black ink was too low!
We ran a few errands including ordering a motorcycle helmet for me. Mine is too small and hurts my jaw & cheeks after just a short while.
Wayne & Deb played at the courtyard so we danced a lot even though it was hot. We had a quiet evening and got to watch an episode of Dancing With The Stars.

Mar 31st – Tues
4 Spyders with 7 riders left at 9 to go to Boyce Thompson Arboretum which is on I60 just before Superior. Of course there are lots of cacti, many of which are blooming right now so it was good to “brave the heat” and wander around for a couple of hours. Linda, Elsie & I decided that next year we will get a group of women together for this trip as the men just weren't as interested in the plants or the walking. Of course when I turned on my camera for the first picture I got a “battery exhausted” message! I used Terry's phone for some pictures and will get some from Elsie.
We went into Superior for lunch at Porter's Cafe where we sat outside for a good lunch. Something had Terry's nose running & eyes watering from when we got up and they didn't improve with the bike ride and the gardens. He didn't even finish his burger but they were huge.
We had a brief rest before going to the courtyard where we mostly sat and listened to music & chatted with friends rather than dancing. A lot of the songs were too slow for line dances.
We got one rib dinner from the courtyard and took it home to split for dinner. We went to the Fiesta multipurpose room for the last line dance lessons of the season but Terry left early after watching a few dances.

Apr 1st – Wed
Don & Susan came over for cinnamon rolls – and fruit provided by Susan – for breakfast. It was lovely to sit outside to eat & chat. Terry's nose & eyes were much better this morning.
We picked up my new motorcycle helmet and left it & my old one there so they could transfer over the microphone since they would do it for free. Not a hard job but we would rather have them do it than risk breaking something. We were still shopping nearby when they called to say it was done. We continued with some more shopping including ink for the printer so I could finish up the cards.
Jeff Stevens was in the courtyard today for our dancing pleasure. Dinner at home.

Apr 2nd – Thurs
Dennis & Gloria stopped to chat on their way back from coffee & doughnuts. Again a perfect time to sit outside.
Terry said the laundry basket was overflowing again so that was next on the list. I squeezed in a late breakfast while the clothes were in the washers and after we put them in the dryers we moved a trailer to storage. Someone had left a note on our door a couple of days ago asking if we could do it for them. The clothes were ready to hang & fold when we got back to the laundry room.
We had some time to relax & play computer games before going to the courtyard to dance to Dakota Kid. Yes, it is hot but it beats the heck out of rain or snow! Terry got ice cream Snickers bars again to cool us down. And some kind of record lately – dinner at home again!
