Surprise in the Clubhouse

Hello readers,
     What a beautiful Sunday we had today.  I had planned to do laundry but with the lovely weather we decided to go golfing instead.  We received a 2 for 1 coupon from the Welcome Wagon couple, who by the way are from Fort Saskatchewan, AB, so we used it to go for 18 holes.  Friends in cold country - it was the perfect golfing day - not too warm, shorts and golf shirt weather, with a small breeze to dry the sweat, uh, I mean, the glow on my skin.
      The surprise in the clubhouse was not the price of the golfing, but the folks who were buying something.  I had dashed into the loo and ignored the lady in there, but when I went back into the Pro Shop the lady turned out to be Kathie Van Dresar-and-standing there talking to Mike was Ernie Van Dresar.  Folks it truly is a small world when folks you've known for over 30 years show up out of nowhere. Not exactly nowhere, but from Apache Junction where they are staying until April.  They had driven up here to visit some friends who are staying here and had stopped in to the Pro Shop to have a look around.  Needless to say they have just left to drive back to A. J.  We went out for dinner with K and E and Nelson and Jeannie.  It is the first time I have had Mexican food.  Not too bad, but the tastes of the food are hidden by the chilies.  Mind you that is my opinion only.  I guess I better learn to like it if I'm going to Mexico.

      Beethoven, their dog, and Weaver, our dog, spent their time alone in our moho chewing on good beef bones, and listening to Full tilt poker on tv, courtesy of Mike while we were out eating.

Tomorrow is a busy day.  I'm going to look at mohos for sale here in the storage area while Mike is playing slowpitch, then I have to go looking for the laundry room.  I really hate having to find the laundry rooms.  They are somewhere around here but I haven't found them yet.  Some of the laundry washers use quarters and some use a card system, like a creditcard.  I'll try and find the ones with the quarters because you have to pay for the card and then fill the card so it can get expensive.
Five more sleeps until Santa comes.  Hope you've all been nice.
