Oct 20th to 23rd - Mesa

Oct 20th – Tues
It felt good to update the blog today. We went to line dancing at Tower Point, had lunch there on the plaza and then watched a demo of line dances done by our instructor and his dancing partner.
Terry got antsy mid afternoon so we made a trip to White Horse Casino which we wish we hadn't. It was the worst we have done at a casino for a long time. Dennis & Donna were here to drop off their motor home so we got hugs and they “toured” our new home before we had a drink with them, Ron & Terri and Bob & Dar.
After dinner we walked over to see the pieces that Harlan (Fatzinger) built for their park model. He is an amazing carpenter and made a buffet to replace a desk in the kitchen area, a desk for the AZ room and a storage cabinet over the toilet in the half bath. Of course we had to stay to enjoy a Moscow Mule!
Oct 21st – Wed
Ron & Terry went golfing this morning so I went with Terri to return an item to Costco and pick up some folding chairs. Then I got a little ambitious and vacuumed & mopped the floors. From 12:30 to 2:30 was a Renters & RVers party put on by the sales department. We had a whole table of friends, drank too much wine and had a nice lunch. From there it was time to regroup and head to the patio for 3 to 5 Music in the Courtyard (MCY) where the drinking & fun was in addition to the line dancing.
Moe & Trish and Duane & Sue arrived today so Terry decided we needed a happy hour at our place and started inviting people when MCY was done. I have no idea how many showed up as I was busy with tours of our home for a while. When everyone left I made a sandwich for Terry for dinner & we were done.
Oct 22nd – Thurs
We started with coffee & doughnuts in the ballroom and then hit the laundry room. Terry helped Ron set up his satellite dish and I did some cleaning up & organizing here & there in the rig. After lunch we relaxed & goofed off – lovely!
Gloria & Dennis had a happy hour(s) at their place to properly welcome Moe & Trish and Duane & Sue. The weather was perfect to sit out of the sun in the carport and still be warm. This is a lovely time of year here. A small group of diehards stayed until 9:30 and of course we were part of that group.
Oct 23rd – Fri
We went to line dance lessons/exercise class at Towerpoint from 10 to noon. The instructor actually calls it Happy Hour as he is not teaching entire dances all the time but rather sequences of at least 3 different steps that we do to music. The instructor is excellent and we get a lot of exercise in the 2 hours. Today it was outside under a big canopy and some of us were partly in the sun which was pretty hot. When we got back, Bob and Harlan helped us remove the cover from Ralph & Elsie's 5th wheel in preparation to move it from storage in a few days. Leftovers for lunch and then some down time.
Doug & Delores came by for a visit and then Dennis & Gloria stopped in and had a drink with us. We went to MCY from 6 to 8 for 2 more hours of line dancing. Some of the music in the courtyards have been changed from 3-5 to 6-8 as it is cooler. We have been getting good turnouts.
