Sunday, Feb 19th

Wow February 19th, our winter break in Az is about 1/2 over. Tonight they were talking about the schedules and when some things wrap up to accomodate people who will be leaving. My how time flies when you are having fun, LOL.

Nice sunny day although the wind in the morning was cool. We decided to go for a drive, pretty much the first one this winter. We went out Ironwood past the golf course to see if we could locate an olive orchard we had heard about. We got lucky and happened on to the Olive Mill in Queen Creek. They grow & harvest olives for the oil, claiming to be the largest producer of extra virgin olive oil in North America. They also have a boutique type restaraunt with all kinds of unique menu items, all of which include olives, naturally. They even had wine tasting today and live music in the patio/orchard area. Marg had a field day and we had a very nice lunch. A real fun experience.

After lunch we went to the Pork Store, just down the road a bit. They had a great assortment of sausage & pork products. Sausage down here leaves a lot to be desired, after the great selection we have in Alberta. Anyway Marg managed to get a few things to fill that gap.

We didn't have time to do either justice as we had to hurry back for a block party on Tequila street, one of the lanes in our RV park. It was a special event to celebrate the arrival of a BC couple, who we didn't think we be back, due to his illness. They had a great turn out with everyone bringing snacks & beverages.

Winding up the day after supper was the ice cream social. We again served and everyone was given the option of cake & ice cream or a root beer float. It was well attended and gave a lot of people an opportunity to visit with others in the park.

Just another great day in AJ, hey that's almost poetic.
