Oops
– too many days to catch up in the blog and don't have any idea
what happened! Obviously nothing exciting! I am not even going to
line dancing since I won't remember the dances or get to use them
away from here. We have been enjoying the pool in the late
afternoon.

Thurs
We
spent a bit of time figuring out what bags would fit in which
compartments on the bike (for our trip in Michigan) and then went
shopping for what we were missing. We got a great toiletry bag and
checked out another soft tote that made us realize we already had
something that would work. Love “aah haa” moments! Of course we
had to stop at Safeway and added $55 in groceries to our other
purchases. This either says something about how much storage we have
in the bike or how much groceries cost!
We
went to the pool when we got back and enjoyed conversations with
several people.

Fri
After
another goof-off morning and late breakfast, we went to the casino.
We took the truck as it was quite windy. We didn't leave any money
at the casino so I guess it was a good day! We stopped at KFC for
chicken and were just ordering a 14 piece special when I heard a guy
say they were out of extra crispy which is a deal breaker for us.
Terry knew where there was another KFC in Show Low so we stopped
there and ordered the same special. The cashier said they didn't
have that special but the manager was right there and said they would
give to us as long as we came back to their store in the future!
Yes, 14 pieces of chicken is about 10 too many for us for one meal
but we were planning ahead!

Sat
We
“hibernated” most of the morning and finally went to the library
to return a book and ended up working on a jigsaw puzzle for quite a
while. A couple of hours at the pool and it was time to watch golf
on TV and heat up leftover chicken for dinner.
June 21st –
Sun
We
went for another longer motorcycle ride today – 160 miles. We went
to Springerville, through Eagar and then to Greer where we had lunch
on the covered porch of a fun little restaurant (Rendezvous Diner).
Greer is a small, tidy village where there must be permanent specials
on red-toned faux logs and green metal roofing.
We
were headed to Big Lake and could have cut across from Greer but it
was 7 miles of gravel road so we went back to the main road and then
south again. When we got to Big Lake and turned off the bike we were
immediately attacked by deer flies so we didn't stick around. There
were several boats with people fishing – don't know how they dealt
with the flies.
We
HAD to stop at the casino since we went right past it on the way
back! Terry immediately won $137 on a bonus spin and I did OK for a
while on the same machine 2 seats down. I wandered around and played
several other machines with varying results. We left with $$ ahead
for a change.
We
watched the end of the US Open golf tournament and I used the last of
the chicken for an easy, light dinner.
