Number 200 and Friends

I just looked and this is my 200th post on this blog. It all started on our way down here in October of 2007. That was our second trip south. The blog started with Avo and Cado. It has been fun writing of our adventures complete with photos. I have all this printed out in our Condo in our north home. It is a book about an inch thick. It will be bigger after this year. I hope that everyone who looks enjoys it all. The way I see it it should make a better record than a bunch of photos in a box. I have one of those at home from my mom and dad. I wish I knew who all those people in the photos were. So if anybody has lots of time, just go to the archives on the right side panel of the blog and have at it. It's all there.

This week has been really nice down here. Mostly in the mid 70s all week. Sue played golf at Arizona Traditions on Monday and Tuesday. They practised Monday and had a ladies member/guest on Tuesday. She said she had a great time. I had an exciting time. I washed the motor home and car. And yes I bobbed in the pool. Thursday Sue went to the movie with Ellen Edwards from Twin Lakes. She and hubby Gene have a home in Sun City West.

Last night, Friday, we went over to Traditions for a steak fry with the gang from Sunland in Eastern Washington. They are a bunch of fun folks who have homes at Traditions as well in Sun Land. Sun Land is a community near the amphitheater in Eastern Washington. It's on the Colombia river. We have been to there Arizona home before. In fact I saw a picture on the my blog from a November 2007 visit. I found it when I was looking back to see how long I have been doing this blog thing.

We got there about 5:30 and enjoyed a sunset. We all sat on the patio for a while and visited. Yes it is nice enough down here to sit outside at night. Although they did have a propane overhead heater. I call them Brain Burners. They help a bit. When the sun goes down it can get cold fast.

We had a great evening. They have a nice home with a big back yard which is enclosed, which is good as they have a nice black lab named Finn. It gives him a nice place to roam. We too Charlie with us so he had a big play mate. Charlie got along good. Mostly he liked Finns toys and also his food.

We did note this morning, that it is good to let Charlie have a night life. He didn't get us out of bed until 8:30. That was great. He has been sleeping all day.

Today was a laid back day. It rained a bit so this gave us a good excuse to go to lunch and then to Costco. Always need a Costco run once in a while. Now we are home and will have dinner and then more Olympics tonight. And, Oh Yes, NASCAR tomorrow.
