We
went out first thing and got the change of address faxed to the
passport office. Terry got ambitious and switched everything to his
new golf bag and cleaned both sets of clubs at the same time. After
a late breakfast, we took the truck to pick up my repaired golf club
and then got a few items for dinner.
I
wanted a dry erase board to “inventory” the canned goods stored
under the bed so we went to BigLots where we found one and a few
other items of course.
We
were watching TV just before dinner when the picture started breaking
up. Terry did some checking and found that the AC/DC adapter was not
working so we made a quick trip to Camping World to buy a new one.
May 27th –
Wed
We
did laundry this morning in our usual “back & forth” manner
and fit breakfast in between washing & drying. I cut Terry's
hair and then we took the truck for some shopping at Costco and
WalMart. Then find places to fit everything. We will be a bit
further from shopping at Show Low so we are trying to think of items
that we will need and may not be able to find easily. Terry talked
me into a rice cooker/crockpot but it is staying in the 5th
wheel. Terry also succumbed to a tool kit in a nice case which he
secured to the wall where it is readily available and doesn't take up
valuable storage space.
I put
a roast in my little crock pot when we got back from Costco and we
were playing computer games when Bonnie called to ask us out for
dinner. She picked us up and we went to Applebee's for a nice
dinner. The roast will be dinner tomorrow! Bonnie came in for a
drink afterwards and we had a lovely visit with her.
May
28th – Thurs
We
got things ready to go before going to coffee & doughnuts this
morning. Hugs goodbye, load the bike and we were on our way to Show
Low shortly after 9:00. We tried to call the owner of the lot we are
renting as we approached Juniper Ridge Resort but there was no answer
so we checked in, found the lot and set up. There was a different
phone number on the storage shed so we called and the owners showed
up from another area in the park.
We
went exploring on the motorcycle and to buy dance tickets but the
activity office closes at 2 so will have to check tomorrow. There
are many houses and lots for sale in the park. Also a lot of vacant
properties so owners may not have arrived for the season yet.
Our
lot is situated so the toy hauler provides shade on the patio in the
afternoon. We took advantage of warm but not hot weather to enjoy a
drink & computer games outside before dinner.
May 29th –
Fri
We
were pretty lazy this morning and finally went to the activities
office at 11:30 to find out that ticket sales are only from 9 to 11
on Tuesday thru Friday! Apparently we can buy tickets at Monday
morning coffee & doughnuts. We took the truck today for lunch,
some more exploring & a bit of shopping. And of course a short
visit to the casino!
We
stopped at the admin office on the way back to get a mail box key
which resulted in 2 trips as the first key did not work. There is a
security gate at the entrance (past the admin office) which requires
7 keys to be pressed to release the gate. If someone is just ahead,
the instructions say not to follow through the open gate as it is
only supposed to stay open for 20 seconds. So you wait and it
doesn't immediately close and then you get to decide whether to go or
wait and then enter the code. I guess every place has its kinks!
It is
really nice to open windows for a nice breeze and not have to run the
AC. It was a little warm when we got back today so we were outside
again. Lots of people walk by with their dogs and everyone waves or
says hi. One guy asked what part of Spokane we were from and it
occurred to Terry after he left that our license plate holder says
Idaho. When the guy came back, Terry asked how he knew we were from
Spokane and he said he just took a guess since a lot of people from
Washington buy trucks in Idaho.
