At mid afternoon today it is 29C (83 or 84F)and Aileen has
fired up the air conditioners to stay cool inside the motor home. We were up to Mesa this morning for several
things. We’re going for lunch on Saturday
up in Tempe and had planned to do everything the one day. When we got to thinking about all we wanted
to do, it made sense to make two trips instead of a marathon one day session. They are forecasting 90F for Saturday then
settling back into the mid 80’s. Our
plan was to stay here until March 25 then wander north but if it stays warm we
may leave by the 21st.
We’ve been zipping around to various towns finding last
minute items we wanted to get before heading home. We’ve been trying out different restaurants
that provide gluten free meals. We went
to a Red Robin today for the first time and we’ll see how Aileen makes
out. It takes several hours for a
reaction if there happened to be any gluten contamination. We had a couple good meals at Olive Garden
recently.
I rode with the ATV group Monday and Tuesday this week since
my riding days are really numbered now. The
only problem with the warmer weather is the hot leather seat reacting with the
denim covered butt. It tends to get
uncomfortable. I haven’t decided if I’ll
ride with them tomorrow. Otherwise, next
Tuesday will be the last ride probably.
We had two couples over a few nights ago for a games night
in the park model and had a great time. Aileen
and I play Sets most evenings and last night she was not happy with my play. In the last hand, without buying any cards, I
went out with just twelve cards. You needed
to have two sets of six, which I did. That’s
the second time I’ve done that in three weeks.
When I went out I caught her with 350 points which destroyed her score
and enriched mine immensely. I was not
very popular!
We went to a joint birthday party for two of our neighbours
on Monday evening. Bud and Jim both turn
85 this week and they are both great guys.
They both stay very active caring for their spouses and in Bud’s case,
supervising construction on our block. It
is great to know people like them.
