February 6th

What a gorgeous day, the sun shone and it was nice and warm in AJ.
  We both got up early & Marg met up with the Gamblin' Gals to go to Fort MacDowell.  They picked her up about 15 min early, sitting out front blowing the horn.  They played bingo, then some on the slots.  For a change Marg said she was close on the bingo and did well on the slots.  Not a big win like one of her partners, but good enough to put a smile on her face.  Her partner Nancy on the slot next to her had a big win, something like $2,100.  As usual they had lunch up at the Fort and lots of laughs throughout the day.  They always come back in a great humor from their adventures.
  Gerry Canuel came to the park and we went golfing with the time slot they have here at Apache Sun.  The course was in great shape and we were teamed with Gary & Stan, a couple of real characters.  We too had lots of laughs, just a great day.  I was swinging the Taylor Burner like a machine today.  Made some great shots as well and scored my best 9 of the winter, 43.  Probably will not duplicate that again.  Likewise Gerry had a great round @ 41, all 4 of us in the 40's.
  Came back and made my lunch, that's the only downside of Marg going with the gals, the service goes down hill badly.  LOL  Then I played pool in the afternoon.  Played with some fun guys, one of whom [Luther] just got in this week.






  By then the girls were back and we had to go to happy hour, to celebrate the successful trip by the Gamblin' Gals.  Pretty good turnout.  On the way back noticed that Nancy's bird seed had attracted a bunch of Love Birds.  They look like parakeets, but to see 6 of them is unusual & they drew quite a crowd. 
  We went out for a quick supper and then got back so Marg could do laundry & I could play poker.  Made out OK playing poker & again a good group.
