We
went to line dance lessons for 3 hours this morning. I try some of
the intermediate dances and we both take part in the slightly easier
dances in the third hour. We had lunch before going to Bashas in
Taylor for groceries. Terry thought we should go to Safeway and he
ended up being right as we weren't too impressed with Bashas.

Line
dance lessons again this morning. A lot of different dances are
taught as many people have taken the classes for several years and
just need a refresher course.
I
called the passport office and was told that my passport had been
approved and sent to printing – hooray! I asked when I should call
to get a tracking number for delivery and she said “next Friday!”
A week for printing and overnight delivery?!
June 6th –
Sat
You
can tell I am behind on the blog – AGAIN – as there are big gaps
in some days.
We
went to a dinner & dance here at the park this evening. The
tickets said 4:30 with dinner at 5:30. We were there at 4:35 and all
the tables had at least some people. We forgot to take our table
service (BYOTS was not on the tickets or calendar) so Terry took the
bike back to pick it up and I asked if we could sit at a table with 4
empty seats. Good choice as we ended up with great table mates –
Jack & Lisa, Les & Kay, Linda & Jim. Music for dancing
was provided by a DJ. Just like at VVV, people started leaving well
before the end time of 8:30. We were among the last to leave (just
us dancing!) and actually helped the work campers put away tables.

7th – Sun
We
made a trip to town for a few grocery items and then I prepped for
lunch today. Mark & Colleen, Lynette and Bonnie drove from Mesa
to visit us and see the park. They arrived about noon and we sat
outside to visit before having lunch. Then we took them on a tour of
the park & facilities before going to Show Low, Pinetop/Lakeside
and finally Hon Dah casino where we agreed to spend an hour on the
slots. I was the “winner” since I didn't lose any money!
By
the time we got back it was time for goodbye hugs and they were on
the road. Needless to say we had a quiet evening after a busy &
FUN day with good friends.
We
were sitting outside when Gloria & her friend George went by in a
golf cart so they joined us for a chat before George had to go to
organize a weekly card game.
June 8th –
Mon
We
went on a loop bike ride today – Show Low, Heber/Overgaard, Taylor
and back to the park. There wasn't much to see along the way. We
rode through an RV park in Heber with no amenities and stopped at DQ
for ice cream. We were surprised to see a lumber mill in the middle
of nowhere as we hadn't seen forests with big trees.
After
dinner we went for a walk (!!!) and ended up talking for quite a
while with a neighbor – Bob – who turned out to be one of the
work campers that we helped putting away tables.
June 9th –
Tues
Back
to line dance lessons this morning. We are both getting quite
comfortable with several of the easier dances and I do the occasional
complete sequence in some of the others. People are really nice
about encouraging us to join in and keep trying.
I was making lunch when FedEx stopped and asked if this was site 235. She was delivering my passport! We were told by the passport office that I had to show ID and sign for the package but the driver gave the handheld computer to Terry to sign!! We took no chances and I signed with a mostly illegible scribble.

After
lunch we went to town to get a fan. We have used the AC only once
since we have been here but sometimes the nice cooler air doesn't
move into/around the rig. We also picked up some chicken for dinner
since we have a dance tonight at 6:30.
Music
at the dance was provided by Armour Gomez who we have seen at VVV.
We again sat at a table with nice people – unfortunately Pat &
Bette and Craig & Jennifer are the only names I remember. We
danced a lot including many VVV line dances that we did in our little
“line” of 2. Near the end of the dance two ladies who winter in
the Yuma area joined us for a couple of dances that they knew. Bob
came in to put away tables and introduced us to his wife Snookie.
I had
to get up after midnight to close windows as we had a huge downpour.
