vacation part 2

Tuesday 2/8. Played 18 holes on Belair, an executive golf course. A couple from Toronto, Doug & Muriel, were put with us. The course has too many sand traps so we decided we did not like that course.

Wednesday we played a nice course about 15 miles away called Bougenvilla. It was a nice course and would play it again. The front nine Ed, who was a retired truck driver and worked at the course, and his brother,John, who was a retired Arizona patrolman, played the front nine with us.

Thursday we went to Falcon golf course with the Heiers. When we finished they asked us to stay for Chili.

Friday we did a little shopping and got the van washed.

Saturday we went with the Heiers to Wickenberg Gold Rush Days. A church there had a pancake breakfast that was really good. They had a nice parade with a lot of horses. Of course it was all "old west". There were several couples there from St Joseph, MO that live in the same neighborhood as the Heiers. We had a couple of drinks with them after the parade and then had BBQ sandwiches for lunch. Then we checked out all the vendor's tents. It was a beautiful day. The temperature reached 80.

Heiers will be gone for about 10 days so we are on our own for entertainment.

Watch out for rattle snakes when on your own. Throw a rock into the desert.
