vacation part 3

Time is going to fast.

Sunday night we caught the metro train and went to the Pro BB game between the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings. Phoenix lost. It was fun to see all the activity that goes on during time outs and between quarters. There were a lot of kids there as they had Star Wars characters around and a coarume contest for the kids. Wasn't really on my bucket list, but was fun.

Monday we golfed at Peoria Pines with DiAnn and Andy Pietzmeier and ate supper with them at Coco's.

Tuesday night Phyllis Hall had Pietzmeiers, Rezniceks and us over for a cookout. These people are all from Norfolk. As a sad side note - Rezniceks were called to North Platte because marilyn's sister had passed away. While they were there another sister in Norfolk also died.

Wednesday we stayed put and did some laundry. Sure wasted a beautiful day, but can't play every day.

Thursday we played at Villa de Paz. They guys that were put with us were John, who was from originally from Boston and retired to AZ. Ken was visiting from Chicago.
So far everyone that has been put with us have been very nice. The people at all the golf courses are really nice. Guess they are used to having a lot of old snowbirds. (Or old buzzards and biddies, eh, Bob?)

Dick & Bev Hitchcocks, our friends from Carroll, flew into Mesa Thursday night. We drove down there to play with them at the Arizona Resort where they are staying. We had brunch at IHOP before we played. Then we found a really good bar & grill for supper. They will be in AZ for a week so we will spend some more time with them later.

Today it has been raining so we just went to the exercise room and did a little work out this morning. Only 53 degrees today. It does look like the sun is trying to come out, but will just watch the golf on TV today. One of the people we played with told us they had not had any rain since Christmas so I guess they can use some.

Tomorrow we plan to meet Hickcocks and go to a huge flea market in Mesa. More rain is predicted and a little chilly, so will be a good day not to golf. Golf is usually higher on weekends, so we didn't really plan to golf on Saturday & Sunday anyway.
