May 8th to 12th - Parker

May 8th to 12th – Parker
Our “routine” in Parker is exactly that – routine! - and not exciting. The weather has remained the same – hot & windy. We take the motorcycle each day to the big town for a visit to the casino and some shopping. A few more people showed up for the weekend but no one to visit with.
We did play 18 holes of golf on Friday. We arrived right after a large group so we went back after an hour and then followed the group. Play was slow but not too bad until the back nine. There was a single golfer behind us and he joined us for 4 holes. The fairways had been plugged so any roll was interrupted by rock hard dirt pebbles. Not a good golf experience for $40 per person!
Facebook friends will know that my latest passport pictures have been delivered by SLOW mail. We mailed the pictures on Apr 27th, they arrived in Los Angeles Apr 29th and didn't leave there until May 4th.  They left Louisville twice (?) on the 5th, left Hamilton Canada 1 ½ hours later and left Montreal Canada 3 hours after that. No mention of customs yet!  On May 12th they were processed through Custom Clearance sort facility in Canada – no town included. Two hours later an entry noted “Custom clearance processing completed”. 
We are heading back to Mesa and VVV tomorrow as we paid for a week here and we are mega bored.  As I mentioned previously, I have to sign for my passport when it is delivered by FedEx. Beth called to say that my new driver's license showed up so we can pick that up. We also forgot a couple of important items – FitBit charging cables and hair clippers. We can stay for 7 days at half price with Passport America and maybe my passport will show up by then. At least we have friends, a pool and some activities starting with the spaghetti feed and DANCE with Rich Mancini.
