Oct 29th to 31st - Mesa

Oct 29^th – Thurs

We remembered to go to coffee & doughnuts at 8:30 – nothing much new & exciting. I caught up the blog and Terry hooked up to Ralph & Elsie's 5^th wheel to level it as it was off from side to side after the slides were out. I spent quite a bit of time browsing on the Grand Design forum while Terry went to get some information on electric blinds. Our big windows and the 2 on the end of the slide have pull down blinds but we have to stand on the dining chairs or recliners to pull them down & put them back up.

We went to Bob & Dar's for dinner along with Dennis & Gloria. Dar had set a table up outside and we were enjoying a drink when the wind came up and the temperature dropped so we moved everything inside. After dinner we played cards and I won one game and Bob won one. Great evening.

 

Oct 30^th – Fri

We went to line dancing at 10:00 at Towerpoint and then stopped for lunch at Red Mountain Cafe – so so food this time. We ran a couple of errands before coming back to enjoy a little “down” time. MCY was moved to 6-8 again and it was great dancing to The Brookharts in cooler weather.

We were walking out of the courtyard and saw Ernie & Dianne coming towards us. They had just arrived so we came back to our place where we were joined by Pender & Donna, Terri and Ralph & Elsie. Tours of our rig, drinks & lots of catch-up & laughs. Howie & Gina had invited us to their place after MCY so we headed there when everyone left. We were just in time to enjoy chatting with them and a few of their remaining guests.

Oct 31^st – Sat

Bill & Linda sent an email to us & Ralph & Elsie suggesting a motorcycle trip to Fountain Hills for lunch. We shined up the bike and Terry had time to rush out for fuel before everyone was ready to leave. Bill & Linda each have a Spyder so we were a caravan of four bikes. We detoured by the lake & fountain before lunch and only had to wait 10 minutes for the fountain to shoot up at noon. It goes for 10 minutes at the top of the hour. I got a nice shot for FB.

We had lunch at Chen's Chinese restaurant. We have been there before and it is inexpensive and very good. We came back on a different route (Bush Hwy) for a little change of scenery.

We made a trip to Total Wine where we found the parking lots packed. Note to self – don't go there on the weekend! We made a couple of stops looking for plastic spiders for me for the Halloween dance tonight.

We are not costume lovers but we made a small effort for the dance. Not everyone was in costume and some had gone all out. We had our usual great time.
