Recap on a busy week!


We have had a really full week. Having survived the ugly trip across Phoenix Friday afternoon, we had a pretty light day yesterday. DH went to the driving range in the morning and sat in the hot tub in the afternoon. I uploaded pictures and did some laundry. Our friends from Wyoming were leaving for home this morning so we all went to our Saturday evening gathering at the clubhouse, where it's BYOWhatever and our resident Musician, Bunky Christiansen played and entertained us. He is a very talented man....can play any kind of string or keyboard. He plays and sings country, and has a very good voice. He does a lot of Johnny Cash, and knows Waylon Jennings. We heard the story about Waylon getting his start right in this area, Coolidge AZ at the Grey Goose Lounge, when he wintered here for 3 winters after Buddy Holly died,(he was his lead guitarist) he then went on to Phoenix to play and the rest is history. Bunky is so talented, he plays banjo, guitar and a really mean fiddle. He hails from Nebraska, down around Nebraska City, so we are home state friends! He has a motorhome here and he plays all over the area. He has had a hard time in life, maybe self inflicted, but has health problems and has lost one lung, so it's pretty incredible that he can perform so well. We didn't get too wild. Were invited to a camp fire party after that, but came home to bed like good people as DH had a 7:45 tee time this morning. That brings me to the Grand Finale for the week! He left here in good shape, however didn't come home that way. Lifting the clubs out of the back of the pickup he rode in, he messed his back up! Bummer.....he is now in the recliner with the tens unit on....so there goes any plans. I'm hoping beyond all hope that it will be mild, or we will sit.....and miss the races in Vegas.....period. Meanwhile, I will fix supper......sure glad he's retired!
