Happy birthday to Lyzi & Bill.  Hope you both had a nice day for your special day.
  I got up and went for a bike ride with the guys this morning.  The weather really warmed up, but it was blowing pretty hard off the mountains today.  There were only four of us and two of them went a bit farther as Larry & I turned off early and only made about 3 miles today.  It was tough going against the wind and we didn't want to overdo it.
  Marg went to water aerobics this morning.  It was fabulous in the pool, but the wind made it a bit chilly to get out, but they had about 10 ladies anyway.  With the nicer weather trend starting, it will likely be more popular now.  She stayed for quite a while after they finished and enjoyed the pool, you know how much she likes hanging out in the pool!
  Meanwhile, Gerry had managed to get our tee time changed to a foursome, but a little later in the day.  Gene & Gary W. both rode with me and we met him at Encanto. The course was fairly busy, but play moved right along and it was nice having a foursome.  When just the two of us play it's like a lottery, sometimes we are paired with good people to play with, other times, not so much.  It was a perfect day for golf, the little bit of wind made it pleasant.  The sun shone and it was warm, I think in the 80's; the temp gauge on the truck read 28C when I was driving back. I ked the guys about their most attractive feature being I get to drive in the HOV lane, LOL.  All kidding aside, it makes quite a difference in the travel time.  Oh yeh, how did I play, about average.  The front 9 really went well, the back 9, not so good, but they were good guys to play with and we enjoyed the day.
  Marg had lots of visitors today both at the park model and while she was out and about.  It's almost impossible to walk about in the park without visiting with folks.  There are lots of new people in the park this year and she chatted a few of them.  We generally try to do that, as we appreciated it when we used to move about, sort of makes you feel welcome.  RV'ers are generally chatty folks anyway, probably comes from being in the unit with just your spouse all day, LOL!
  Marg had supper on the stove when I got home, so got to sit right down and eat.  It was a form of stir fry and was good.  Pretty hard to predict when I will be back because of the distance and volume of traffic, but she does a pretty amazing job to coping with it.  After supper we had a facetime with Bill for his birthday.  He showed us his present from Patti; a Bronco's helmet autographed by Peyton Manning.  Just for the guy who has everything.
