May 23rd to 25th - Mesa

May 23^rd – Sat

I caught up the blog and we played a lot of computer games since we each bought 24 hours of unlimited games on Farm Heroes! We drove the bike all over the park looking for someone to bug and ended up sitting in the middle of our street chatting with Bonnie, Colleen & Lynette who were running around in Bonnie's golf cart.

BBQ for dinner and a quiet evening.

May 24^th – Sun

A typical lazy morning followed by lunch at Burger King.

We stopped by Mark & Colleen's and found Mark installing shade panels on the side of their carport. He had quite a job with inconsistent spacing of posts, out of line posts and improperly installed decorative “posts” that he had to remove. The panels that were done looked really good. They invited us to join them, Bonnie & Lynette for dinner so we went to get a couple of steaks, I made “cookies & cream” for dessert and we headed back over.

We had another lovely evening and learned a new card game called “Sticks” that we won't add to our collection of games. We played Newfie Bingo with poker chips to show them how it is played.

May 25^th – Mon – Memorial Day

I forgot to mention that I called the passport office on Thursday and was pleased to find out that I could send a fax with a different address but I figured I better wait in case they processed the passport on Friday and it would get to Show Low before us.  I checked again with the passport office and they were waiting on a Fax with a new address! So Terry climbed over the counter in the 5^th wheel to get the printer and I put the information together that they needed. Then we drove all over town looking for a place that was open to send a Fax – no luck! Included in our driving was a stop at the PGA Golf store to have one of my clubs repaired. Luckily they were open including the repair shop. Terry got a new golf bag.

We stopped to pick up a bucket of chicken, I made an apple slaw, we put on our swim suits and went to join 12 others at the Rancho's pool for lunch and swimming. Also there were Mark & Colleen, Bill & Beth, Neal & Robin, Bonnie, Lynette & her daughter Tara with her daughter Eva, and Mark & DJ. It was a perfect afternoon with great friends and good food. We took our speaker and tablet and even did a couple of line dances beside the pool!
