June 22nd to 25th - Show Low

June 22nd– Mon

We finally went for breakfast at Silver Creek Golf Course. Debra told us that they had good breakfasts and she was right. We sat outside overlooking a lake and part of the golf course – very nice.

Then I had to buckle down and catch up the blog again. I swear I am going to quit but we love to be able to look back on our travels and travails. We made a trip to the pool where we enjoy the people as much as the lovely, cool enough, clear water.

June 23rd – Tues

We stopped at McDonald's for a late breakfast on the way to the casino. Too bad we gave back most of the $$ that we took away on Sunday! We did some shopping on the way back. Then the now usual afternoon pool visit followed by dinner at home.

June 24th – Wed

I did some re-organizing in cupboards because I have pots stacked in fry pans and am always fighting to get them out. Of course this called for a couple of organization items so we hopped on the bike and headed for WalMart where we got what I needed. We stopped for some groceries at Safeway and luckily had to wear our helmets on the way back so we could fit everything in the bike compartments.

I say it was lucky that we wore our helmets because huge, dark clouds were looming and we saw lightening flashes as we drove – quickly! We only got a few rain drops but when we got back the keypad to unlock our door would not work. Terry had the truck keys with him and we were smart enough to put an extra set of trailer keys in the truck so I could unlock the bedroom door to get in. If the main door is locked with the keypad, it cannot be opened with a key!

In the meantime, rain had started in earnest. Terry put the cover on the bike while I messed with the doors and we got inside without getting too wet.

We changed the batteries in the lock and it still wouldn't work. Then Terry found another battery compartment on the outside of the door. It has a big, flat, round battery so will have to make another trip to town tomorrow. Needless to say we didn't go to the pool today.

June 25^th – Thurs

Since we were going to town anyhow we decided to hit McDonald's for breakfast again. We found the battery we needed at Kmart which is right next door to Safeway. Since I had some room in the freezer, we picked up a couple of items – like ice cream!! The battery fixed the keypad.

We did laundry and jigsaw puzzles which took us nearly to pool time. There were a lot of people in the pool today as it was quite hot – but nothing like Mesa. Another quiet evening at home with computer games & dinner on the BBQ.
