Last Days in Arizona

With Steve and Mad in town we had to show them how classy we are. While we were at it we invited some of our other friends that are here. Where else should you take someone go for a touch of class. Why Roman's Oasis of course. So that's what we did.

Here are a few. From right to left Carolin Nelson, Jan Holt, Sue, Linda Abbott, Ellen Edwards, Elvis Presley and Mad. They posed the group photo. Also around besides Steve and me was Kent Nelson and John Ward.

Jan and I beat John and Carolyn on the shuffleboard. I forget how came next but we beat them too. Jan and I were killers. We all order lunch along with a few drinks. Everybody had a good time. We might make this a regular event.

That pretty much took care of Wednesday. I'm going to miss the tough days down here. Anyway, Thursday was just a hang out day. I was going to play golf but didn't quite feel up to snuff so I just sat around. About 3:30 we went to the Brookside Sports Bar and Grille to have some food and watch the Husky game. As I'm sure most know the first half was good while the second half was not. We had a good time even thought they lost. It was apparent that there were quite a few Husky fans in the room. As they say, Better luck next year.

Friday morning we got up and met Steve and Mad at the Enterprise Car rental place. They dropped off their rental car and we took them to the airport. They were flying to Las Vegas and then driving to the AVI casino in Lughlin to meet friends. We told them that we should have planned differently and all driven in the motor home up there. That would have been a real gas. See you guys when we all get home.

As things are down here we had the next stop. We had been invited to Mary Ann and George's house to see it. We had talked about this when we at, where else "Roman's Oasis" They have a very nice home in Pebble Creek. Pebble creek in about 12 miles south of Happy Trails. They have a home on the end of a Cul-d-sac which makes for a huge back yard. It is beautiful. They have so many Cactus some of which were blooming. That is one cool thing about being down here this time of year is the Cactus bloom. After a beer and checking out their place we went to Wadells Longhorn Salon. We were there last with John and Linda during a Cardinal play off game last year. We good to see them. Again more plans for next year.

So here we are on Saturday. Sue has some laundry, going to clean house, is at the store now and generally READY to go home. I on the other hand am not excited about that plan. I already have WORK (A nasty 4 letter word) scheduled at home. Tomorrow morning we pull out for Palm Desert for a few days. We will be seeing Elaine and Cuz and Bonnie. I'm sure I will make more reports from there.
