Week # 2 - Its getting Warmer

Jan 29th... Last week I asked "where's the heat", this week we can feel it's coming. The weather in California  if any body has heard was not A -typical, and it came thru Arizona as well. here's the forecast. As I type its only 6* C but does warm up quickly. 

We have a golf and happy hour on Sundays with a group friends from the park, last week it was bowling instead. We went out to Ak Kin casino in Maricopa -big entertainment center with bowling alleys. After bowling (well some of us tried)  we had drinks and appies. Mary ordered the Virgin Caesar The bill came and we were charged for a Bloody Mary, When I inquired I was told the price was correct,?? next time she'll order a Virgin with the alcohol on the side >> The rest of the week did get better, golf on Monday (men's Club) golf on Tuesday at Bear Creek in Chandler (followed by dinner) at Eva's Mexican Restaurant with our golf group. 

Mary played on Wednesday, then laundry, I played again Thursday with the Palm Creek hackers" . Friday we did some grocery shopping and rode our bikes. 
While I was going to Home Depot for some stuff, a police car stopped all the traffic on the main street to let a helicopter land 
(looked like a motorcycle accident)

Saturday in the park was Home Coming. All the groups and clubs set up displays and people can sign up or join. They have a band playing and food is served... There are over 40 clubs such as woodworking, silversmithing and sports, softball, pickleball and oh yea golf. The theme was Welcome Home (Western style) They has some live bacon there, not sure it's signifigence 

Thats our week, so looking forward to Arizona weather, where we can enjoy the out doors.

WEEK # 1 - WHERES THE HEAT??

January 17, 2017  ok we arrived on Jan 12th took a few days to settle in, get groceries, booze, and meet up with neighbours and friends. Monday I golfed in the men's club. our team finished 1 stoke out of the $$, gonna have to make 1 more putt next week. After golf I met an old Kitimat friend Dennis McElroy and caught up on the past few years ~~actually probably 30 yrs since we saw each other last. (although thanks to "Facebook" we do see everyone in the present.)  Got the RV washed in the afternoon, and cleaned up our site. Tuesday went down to the pool and hot tub , swam a bit and read our books in the sun .  

Mary golfed in the ladies on Wednesday, and I played with my usual group, the PALM CREEK HACKERS on Thursday.  Was supposed to head down to Quarry Pines in Tucson on Fri for golf but the weather was not great, so we are postponing the trip for a week. Instead Mary & I went up to the Costco in Chandler with Chris and Brian. 
We met up with our Penticton friends Donna and Armond later that night at their rental -had a great dinner and played cards -the rain and wind started and was so bad, Armond had to give us a ride home as walking was out of the question.
As I said, WHERE'S the HEAT? We have seen some sun, but for the most part its been a bit cool with wind, so looking forward to the next few weeks and sunshine (please)
