After bidding farewell to Patty & Jim at the SkyHarbor Airport about mid morning on Friday, we hit the Sam's Club to replenish some of our staples.  Sam's Club in Fargo does not sell alcoholic beverages.  However, here in Arizona, you can buy booze just about anywhere.  And it's far less expensive than in ND or MN.  Anyway, suffice it to say our visit to Sam's Club provided us enough liquid refreshment to stock a small tavern!!!

Our "family" time continued Friday evening when Corky's North Dakota cousins joined us for Happy Hour.  Jackie & Chuck Knutson and Carol & Ernie Mathias were in Casa Grande to visit their sister Barb Harris who, with husband Doug, live in a community only about a mile from us.  We all enjoyed a fun couple of hours on our patio before driving to the Harris house for grilled brats and fixin's.  Nice evening.  We'll be getting together again before the end of the month.
