March 18 through 20, 2010

Thursday 18~~~~Today was laundry and house cleaning day. Kent did the laundry as usual and he even hung them out on the clothes line to dry. I cleaned our Casa real good, dusting all the wood and cleaning the glass good, finishing up in time to fix lunch and help Kent fold the clothes. Mel and Linda came over at 5 PM for dinner to eat those steaks we bought at Costco on Sunday. Kent did a great job of grilling the steaks as usual and I made a macaroni salad, steamed asparagus and some french bread to go with the steak. We all agreed it was the best meal we have ate in a long time, counting all our meals we ate out. (pictures of Kent and Mel and Linda and I) Friday 19~~~~we drove to Scottsdale to take my Grandson Joel out for dinner tonight. He is about 2o miles from where we are taking classes for his insurance job in Salem, Oregon. We met him after his class at a pub where the people from his class were relaxing from their last class today and they filled us in on all that they had learned and did this week. We had a nice dinner with Joel at a Pizza parlor where it was quiet to visit; (picture) then we dropped him off at his room and headed home to Apache Junction. It was sure nice to see one of the grand kids, it seems like we have been gone from home for several months now and it has only been less than 2 months. Saturday 20~~~~This morning the park put on a big breakfast for $3 a person, serving bacon, sausage, pancakes, scrambled eggs and biscuits and gravy. We went to the breakfast and we sat at a fun table meeting new people. After breakfast we drove to the Holly Lobby store where I bought some beads for making some jewelry I saw at the flea market we went to, then we drove around the desert again with Mel and Linda.
