Days Ticking By

It's hard to believe that it's the 23rd of March already! I would swear that we have just got here! Only 8 days left until we head off to the east again and begin the travel part of our year. Everyone here is scurrying around doing last errands, making last side trips and spending last times with friends. We attended a performance by a Comedian/Magician on Saturday night here. Our neighbors across the street have purchased a lot here in the park and they are really busy getting layouts done and meeting with architects and builders before they head back to Canada.
They are selling their motor home and building a house. I think it will be an awesome place and can't wait to see it next year.
Tomorrow we are having a cook out here at our place for friends on the block. We've had several grey and very windy days, the nights have been chilly, but the Arizona sun is bright today and the forcast is for beautiful the rest of the week. Saturday will be a very packed day for us. The Annual MCAS Air Show starts at 8:30 in the morning. We will get an early start for that....I'm looking forward to it..the guys are really practicing heavily every day now. We have Harriers and Ospreys,(like the ones that rescued the pilots in Libya this week) Rescue helicopters, fighters and cargo planes flying by all day long. It's kinda the highlight of their year. DH has a massage at 2:15, then a reservation for 10 for a last visit to DaBoyz Italian downtown. Our neighbors are all going to start pulling out on Sunday and Monday and we will have a few quiet days before we head out on Friday. I have been planning our stops and will admit I'm looking forward to moving again. We have our spot reserved for late this year, and I am so relieved to know we will be back here again.
A weekly event here at the Palms, the Burger Bash got a little wild last Saturday. It started out normal with the live band and dancing by the pool, a Leprechan from Sun Vista came to pay us a visit, keeping with the St. Patrick's Day theme of the week.
Then some folks decided to combine Birthdays and Going Aways with St. Patricks Day and regression back into high school.
One went in and then a bunch! It wasn't the warmest day either when some were dunked twice for good measure.
That day I was glad I don't drink, and I'm sure I felt better then they did the next morning! We were told that the Americans always got crazy at the Bashes, but this time it was even Crazier Canadians! It was nice that our table was mellow and away from the meyhem. Everybody there got wet! DH is getting one of his last golf days in today and I am doing laundry and taking KayCee to the dog park later. It is a sad day to learn of the death of Elizabeth Taylor today and happy because my baby is 31 today. Happy Birthday Thomas Jerome Brown! Don't know why, but this day always makes me feel older than my own Birthday!

  1. It looks like you've found a good winter home. I hope someone compatible moves into the spot being vacated by the new lot owners.
