The Entertainment and Activities here at the Palms is starting to wind down but it's still a bustling place! People are starting to get hitch itch as it warms up here and lots of the Canadian Visitors have to head home soon.
We have made lots of new friends, but our group here on the street is a good one and we all will stay in touch.
Most mornings my patio is a gathering coffee spot and my new Cuisinart Coffeemaker gets a good workout. We take turns at our patios on our side of the street in the afternoons to have a get together about 4:00.
Yesterday we attended the Lettuce Days Festival in the Quartermasters Depot grounds by the Colorado River on the edge of town. Since this is an Ag Based Community, it is a big deal to show off the produce and functions of the companies that work here. Dole, Foxy and Earthbound Farms to name a few. They focus on providing safe healthy produce and the Arizona leafy greens represents a 1 Billion dollar industry with a workforce of over 20,000 people.
It was an interesting morning as we walked through the trade booths and picked up our lettuce samples. We then topped the morning off with lunch at Lute's Casino in old downtown. (No Gambling, just good food and old Nostalgic Atmosphere) We still have quite a few things to do here the next couple of weeks, and it is getting up to 90 the next few days, so we will be in the pool more in the afternoons.
We are having massages on Thursday...as we have a massage therapist on staff here. It's hard to believe we haven't made many side trips this year. We didn't even get to San Diego, but there's always next year. We're looking forward to heading to Texas and will be doing some side trips there. Hopefully we will get to the Gulf and Corpus Christi to check that out. That's the great thing about having your plans written in Jello, we don't have to stick to a plan!
