Dec 3rd to 5th - Mesa

Dec 3^rd – Thurs

Terry golfed this morning and had lunch afterward so I had time to do whatever I wanted which included VVV coffee & doughnuts, a couple of trips to fill 4 gallon jugs with water, some light cleaning, getting out decorations for motorcycles for the Xmas parade and of course playing computer games. Terry was back in plenty of time for MCY and line dancing with Sam and The Band.

I made dinner and we actually stayed home for an evening!

Dec 4^th – Fri

We did laundry this morning and I started a big pot of split pea soup. Terry got burgers from McDonalds for lunch. A bit later we took the motorcycle to get a jumbo muffin tin. We tried Fry's first. They carry them but were out of stock so we went to WalMart where Terry dropped me at the door and I was in & out with the tin in a few minutes so we were in time to go to MCY and dance to Dakota Kid from 3 to 5.

The muffin tin and the pea soup were for a Soup Fest put on by Larry & Suz at 5:30. Many people (about 20?) bring soup and others bring appies and dessert. Larry & Suz had the Fiesta Community center all set up with decorated tables and a long serving table for the soup complete with extension cords to plug in all the crock pots. The muffin tins are an excellent way to sample several soups. After we ate we had a gift exchange where you can select a gift or steal from someone who has already opened a gift. Larry & Suz were dressed as Mr. & Mrs. Claus and Larry provided hilarious commentary the whole time.

Dec 5^th – Sat

We had lovely weather for golfing this morning. Jackets came off after only a few holes. After golf we all went for lunch at The Hub where we were joined by a couple of spouses who don't – or couldn't - golf. I was ready to kick back for a while and Terry went visiting.

Unfortunately we didn't check the calendar and forgot that we were supposed to go to Joey & Lynne's for a drink & snacks. Fortunately, they are just across the street and Lynne came to get us! Ron & Terri and Bob & Dar were also there. They left to get ready for the dance tonight and so Terri could go early to get our group a table. We moved inside to have another drink and then went to the dance where 3 Speed provided the dancing music and we had popcorn for dinner!
