C&C Retirement Adventures Thursday, January 27, 2011

Another beautiful morning here in Casa Grande--50 degrees at 8 a.m. with a bit of a wind.

I've posted some photos on our Picasa website (pics of the RV park, with Steve & Kimm and the kiddies and with George & Carmen in Sahuarita).  Even connected through the Droid phone's WIFI, I lose service now and then, so bear with us.

We have a lovely lunch at the main pool area today where they were holding a ladies' clothing sale.  Racks of casual items from golf shorts, bathing suits, and coverups to long dresses and pantsuits.  I didn't find anything that I just couldn't live without, but it was fun to browse.  We checked out all the activity rooms and then toured some of the model homes.  In addition to having spaces for motor homes and fifth wheels, the Park also sells/leases more permanent pre-fab homes.  It was fun to look around.

Another minor problem yesterday--our automatic step under the door became loose.  Upon further inspection, Corky discovered that three of four bolts had sheared off (don't know when that happened, but it had been sounding funny for quite a while).  Anyway, we found a "nuts and bolts" shop, bought replacements and he went to work repairing the step.  Now we are as good as new, or maybe even better!

I've been accused of trying to kill all the men in the coach as I enticed them to take a nice walk through the park last evening.  We like to check out all the license plates--lots of Canadians here.  We met several nice people along our way--always very willing to stop to chat.  After about an hour's time, the three boys were panting heavily and anxious to get back to the coach for a drink!  So it was back to "1249 Shimmering Sands Drive."

All for now.  C&C
