Sunday Mar 13th

Another sunny day in AJ, temperatures were in the 80's. Went out to Mickey D's for breakfast. Marg had an omelet & I had the french toast, not as good as Marg makes, but it was good. Stopped at Ace hardware on the way home to look for some hardware to make a repair, they have an awesome selection. No success, so will try another tomorrow. Marg did laundry, but had to wait until evening to steam it because of the mid-day heat. Stopped at Walmart for a few things. Interesting phenomenon here, but the handicap stalls are the first to fill up and there are never any spare power chairs [or whatever you call them] because of the senior crowd. I spent part of the afternoon in Bob's office. He has a covered breezeway and it is kind of a gathering spot for guys to swap lies. Both he & Rita have hummingbird feeders and get them all the time. Before we go, I have to take the camera over and get some pics of the little guys at the feeder. Shrimps on the barbie for supper tonight, rice in the rice cooker. Very nice. After supper we had our last ice cream social. Kenny & Doris did a little thank you presentation to each of the crew and gave a little explanation of the logic to each. They gave Marg a hula hoop & told the crowd it she was because she was a hula hoop champ in an earlier life. Me they gave a little yellow easter chick & explained it was because of the accident I had when I was younger. For those who don't know, I hit a car that had been at the hatchery & when the door opened, the chicks came streaming out into traffic. Anyway we had a free night and gave out all the remaining ice cream & cake. We had enough accessories to make sundaes & whipped cream, syrup, etc. to add some zest to the dish. We had about 60 or 70 and heard comments that it was a shame this was the last one. That's a good thing, leave them wanting more. It's hard to believe we are only 2 weeks away from going home & a lot of the activities this week and next will be because of the Arizona exodus at the end of March.
