Driving, Dancing, and Dining

It is finally “shorts” weather and guess what -- somehow or another I failed to get my shorts in the camper! They are probably still hanging in the closet, but I know I had them ready to pack. I couldn’t believe it! Guess I will have to run out tomorrow and buy a couple of pair. Did manage to bring a couple of pair of capris with me. Larry got his shorts packed before we left. The temperature got up to 78 degrees today! How cold was it back home? (I’m sorry – just had to ask)

Today (2/10) we were invited up to Harry and Sue Foster’s to spend the day. We got up there about 10:45 and had a great time visiting with them. Sue prepared a delicious lunch. After lunch we spent time out on their front patio until it got so warm from the south sun that we went inside – (sorry about that Midwesterners). We left about 4:00 and came back to Casa Grande. They have a lovely home in Mesa.

Yesterday was also a beautiful day. In the morning Judy Howell and I, along with a friend of Judy’s, went to an annual craft fair at Mission Royale, a ritzy neighborhood in Casa Grande. We all found something to buy – aren’t you surprised! After shopping we stopped and had lunch at Mimi’s Café, which has recently opened in Casa Grande. Bob Howell and Larry went to another RV park to their patio sales. Then they went out to lunch. Last night we all went to the clubhouse for a country western performance by a couple who are friends of Bob and Judy’s. What a fun evening! Not only was their singing great, but we also got to dance. Larry and I hadn’t danced that much since Mike and Scott’s weddings. It was also fun to just watch the other couples dance, mostly country western dances – some couples were really good. During their breaks from the show, the singers would come and sit down with us and visit. After the show we got to visit with them also. They are from Springfield, Missouri and perform out here during the winter at several different RV parks. They not only sing country western but also hits from the 50’s and 60’s. They performed for three hours.

Friday night the four of us went to a restaurant for fish and chips. It was an all-you-can-eat dinner and we enjoyed it. Then we came back to Bob and Judy’s 5^th wheel and played pitch. Judy and I won all four games!!! We were so proud of ourselves – usually the guys win most of the time.

The weather last week was pretty cool until Friday and it sounds like next week is going to be much nicer and warmer. Usually by about 11:00 it has started to warm up (if the sun is shining) and then about 4:30 it starts cooling back down quickly.

This coming week we hope to get over to Yuma and Quartzsite for a couple of day. We have some friends that are camped over there. Yuma is about 3 hours from here and Quartzsite is about 1 ½ hours north of Yuma.

Well, I will sign off and get to bed.

Happy 60^th Birthdays to Dale Fine and Sylvia Kimsey!!!!

Until next week – Love, Larry and Glenda
