Saturday

Nice day, about 86F/30C. Went to the airconditioned mall to see if my glasses are ready. That's a pun - hah! Probably Mon or Tues. Marg drove, although she doesn't drive a lot of places out of AJ, she had no trouble getting to the big mall. Kind of like a homing instinct, other migrating birds have - get it - snowbirds? Got some new shorts, wear them so much down here that they are wearing out. Marg got a new purse, pretty major decision for her, I think that makes the 3rd one [both major decision & purse] since arriving here. Lots of sales on right now. I think they are trying to make certain the snowbirds don't leave with any loose change, LOL. Lunch was at Barro, nice pizza. Picked up a few other things we need, including a nice 15 yr single malt that was aged in oak, very nice. BTW, yesterday we saw a new golf cart all tricked out for the rural crowd, the green ones anyway. It could work for the Irish on St Paddy's day as well. After we got back to the park, we had cocktails over at Pat & Diane's. They are the Saskatchewan couple whose kitchen team we are on. It's kind of a standing joke about who is the leader on the kitchen team, we know it isn't us though. Too many appetizers, so we had a light dinner, rushed I might add as we had to hustle to make cards. Played some golf & 31 with Ron & Sue. Don't laugh we play for quarters & that is big stakes down here. I believe we came out on the short end, but it was fun. Too busy to even play pool today. This retirement can be hectic, note to self - need to slow down .
