November 18 to 22, 2011; Birthdays and visit with TIm & Kim

NOV  18, Friday, sunny, warm
A quiet day!  We went out to find the last two caches from yesterday, picked the antibiotics for Val then came home and read.  I had a snooze in the afternoon.  It was another very warm day, it reached 84*F (26*C)


NOV  19, Saturday
There was a craft sale in the club house and so we attended.  There wasn’t much but I did find a pegs and joker board and phoned Terry & Glenda to find out if they were interested!?  The price was a bit steep, $45, so they turned it down.  Don’t blame them; I wouldn’t have paid that much either.  Val went for her dance lessons and I read my book.  After lunch, Val decided to make some muffins.  Everything was quiet then someone banged on the outside wall.  Val looked out and to our surprise, there stood Al and Brenda from BC.  We had a very nice visit with them and had them over for dinner.  They are staying down the road, about 25 miles from here.  They left around 7 pm as their dog was still at their motorhome and were worry about her.  She is a big golden lab, gentle as could be.  We watched the tube for a while then it was bedtime.


NOV  20, Sunday, sunny and warm
We were supposed to go visit Tim and Kim today but Kim called saying that Tim had the flue so we postponed our visit to Tuesday.  We called T&G right away to let them know so that they could make alternate plans for today if they wanted to.
We went geo-caching (no, really!!!!) and found 10 more to log.  We were home by 3:30 pm, had a drink then dinner.  I watched Sunday night football and Val went to work on a puzzle at the club house.


NOV  21, Monday,
A bit cooler today but still sunny!  We went to find more caches that we didn’t do yesterday.  We even got to meet the owners of a cache; he came out as we were searching for it.  We also got Val’s “Kindle Fire” through the mail today so now we really need a WIFI connection so that we can register it and work on it.  We had supper then watched the tube.  We also received our package from the drugstore at home; what happened is that every time I went to check for the mail I would say my last name and of course nothing was there until Val went over and said her last name and...voila...the package had been sitting there for the past two weeks!!!  How silly!


NOV  22, Tuesday, visit with Tim  & Kim
We went into town in search for a MIFI connection.  First we stopped at BESTBUY where we didn’t find what we were looking for then at a VERIZON dealer.  We had better success there but it is a matter of deciding if it’s worth the expense especially since we will be out of the USA in about 3 weeks!??? 
We drove to Mesa where we picked up Terry and Glenda then the four of us went to Scottsdale for a visit with Tim and Kim.  We had a marvellous visit and a delicious dinner, nothing fancy but still delicious!  We left there around 7:30 pm and drove back to Val Vista where we had a nightcap with T&G then said our goodbyes and were home by 10:30pm.  It was a great day!
