Saturday

A little late on the post, a result of being up a little late last night.
  Got out early in the AM for the Saturday morning breakfast in the hall.  Great way to start the day with pancakes, bacon, eggs in the company of some nice people.  It was a bit of a park sale morning, so we went to one just down the street at Mountainview where we never got anything, but did catch up to some people from our park.  Picked up Jerry & Pat and then made it on to a second sale at Raindance where we also drew a blank.  We stopped at a couple of others, but success eluded Marg, although she came close when she just missed out on patio chairs by minutes. 
  After that we went out to the Mesa market where we toured the east half.  It seems we never get there because we always start at the west side and we generally run out of steam before we see it all.  Marg got a nice pair of capri pants, so was pleased with the effort.  She also picked up a bug zapper and then we stopped to get a cell phone cord.  It was pretty funny, our next door neighbour in the park came in just as I was paying asking the clerk what he charged me, then giving me a better price.  Thanks Bob.  When Marg was making her purchase and talking to the salesperson, she got an interesting insight into their perspective on us Canadians.  They all seem to be aware of the week Cdn dollar and are experiencing noticeably lower sales this year, even with the local economy picking up.  By that I mean one of the ladies in the park went to convert money last week and paid $1,500 Cdn for $1,000 U.S. and that has impacted the way we look at things this year, so I guess it's not just us.
  By then it was lunch time, so we left the market, stopping at Taco Bell for a change of pace.  We thought of Katie as this was one of her fav's when we were in Florida & even here for that matter.  Marg had some kind of combo that was interesting & pretty good except for a srirachi that was surprisingly hot.  One bite was all either of us could handle. Note to self, avoid that next time.  We like Mexican food, but it can be a little more than we can handle at times.
  Had some company in the afternoon for a cocktail and then supper in the unit as we were going out. 

There was entertainment in the hall last night and we had tickets.  It was Ron E Cash and he is always popular and a good time.  We sat with a group of friends and had a few wobbly pops.  The organizers had a few tricks up their sleeves, like when Gary came and sat on Marg's lap and the barrel races they rigged, so that I would be a competitor using a fake hobby horse while carrying a raw egg on a spoon.  Then of course there was the always popular round dance with Gary in the middle surrounded by ladies to the sounds of Kalija [spelling?].  It was a great time, we certainly danced more than we have in a long time and just a fun evening.  Just a bunch of Seenagers living the good life.
