Oct 24th to 28th - Mesa

Oct 24^th – Sat

We golfed at 8 this morning with the Saturday group organized by Dar. We were paired with Jim & Grace. We were picking Phyllis up at the airport at 12:40 so we were the first group to play. Good thing because the play ahead of us was slow and the plane was 10 minutes early. After dropping Phyllis off we went to McDonald's for lunch as we were starving. The rest of the golfers went to OTG (On The Green) for lunch and Moe & Trish did not return until after we were back – slow service.

We went cruising around the park on the motorcycle in the late afternoon and someone called to us to stop as we went past a motorhome with 4 people sitting outside. It was Al & Brenda and their friends Leo & Lynn. Al & Brenda are from Midway B.C. and we met them briefly at Rock Creek through our friends Claude & Val. They follow our blog so knew we were in VVV and knew we had a Spyder. The 2 couples go to San Carlos MX in January and will stay here until then. We had a beer with them and a nice visit – the first of many I am sure.

Oct 25^th – Sun

Here I go again! I don't remember too much about this lazy day. We had a visit from Carolyn for a hello hug and a tour of our rig. We joined Dennis & Gloria for a drink before going for dinner. Jerry & Becky wandered by so they came for dinner at the Chinese buffet as well. Of course we had to have another drink after dinner.

Oct 26^th – Mon

After a coffee & goofing off we went to move Ralph & Elsie's 5^th wheel to their site. First we had to go to the office to request a ranger for an escort from storage to the site. They are stricter about it this year – sure had the lady in the office confused about what we wanted to do but Pat was the ranger who answered the call and she knew what we were doing. No problem backing it in and Eladio even came over with a compliment on how well we worked together. Not hard when the driver is good – and listens when I say stop. Terry was doing a bit of setup on the 5^th wheel when Rosemary stopped by for a tour of our new home.

We went to MCY at 3 with Reign-n-Country. We stayed after 5 chatting with a group until our umbrella was the only one left for the work campers to tie up.

Oct 27^th – Tues

Terry woke up with a very sore hip and was hobbling severely. No idea what the heck caused it. I picked up Ron & Mary to go to line dancing at Towerpoint. When I got back Terry was sitting outside watching TV and was still limping so I gave him a couple of pain pills that I take for headaches.

We went out for lunch and found Burger King closed for remodeling so we went to Albertsons for a few groceries and something for lunch. After lunch we were playing computer games and Terry suddenly said his hip didn't hurt any more. Sure enough when he got up he wasn't limping. Very weird.

We went to Jim & Grace's at 4 for “chili & smokies” along with a bunch of our friends. We had to leave early for a birthday party for Irene that started at 6. Rich Mancini was providing music so we got to dance. Great party!

Oct 28^th – Wed

Terry golfed today so I puttered & enjoyed my alone time. I even rode the motorcycle the short distance to Albertson's for one ingredient for dinner and picked up ice for Terri at McDonalds. When Terry got back we had some leftover chicken for a late lunch before going to MCY at 3.

Ralph & Elsie arrived today so I had dinner in the crockpot and they joined us right after MCY. Good food, good drinks, great friends!!
