BUSY WEEK

Apr 17/10

This week was full of activities and went by very quickly.  We played 3 rounds of golf.  On Monday and Wednesday we played at a great course called Robson Ranch about 8 miles southeast of here.  We played the first day with a couple from Vermont who was at the end of a 2 week vacation in the Tucson area.  They fly here and rent a suite or condo a couple of times a year and are thinking about buying a place around here if they can.  They were nice to golf with and the weather was great.  We played by ourselves on Wednesday and had lots of fun and the scores were better.

Tuesday was a shopping day and we replaced some of our old shorts and T shirts with new ones.  Clothing is cheap down here as long as you stay away from designer labels.  Stuart bought 2 good quality cotton sleeveless T shirts for $3.50 each.

On Thursday we went to the theatre to see Alice in Wonderland.  It was an early afternoon matinee and we were the only ones in the theatre until almost show time.  Then 2 older ladies came in and after studying the almost empty room, one of them came over and started to sit in the seat right beside Stuart.  Duh!!  Her friend went to a seat at the far end of our row so the first lady moved over there.  People can be very strange at times.

We golfed on Friday at the Grande Valley course near Eloy which is about 12 miles from here.  We played with 2 guys, one from Phoenix and one from Tucson who were meeting halfway for their round of golf.  The one guy is originally from Arkansas and he sure had an interesting accent—made us think about having grits and greens.  By the way, we went to a Cracker Barrel Country restaurant for breakfast and had grits, biscuits and gravy and fried apples with our eggs.  Not the same as the selections back home.

Today was chore day and we did spend some time at the swimming pool (the temperature is 88 F).  The number of people around here is decreasing rapidly every day.  Here’s a photo of our section of the RV park:

On Monday, we’ll be moving to a new location a couple of hours down the road on I-10.  New place, new adventures.
