Tuesday, March 29th

What a change in the weather, it cooled off drastically and is in the 70 range today.
  I went for a bike ride and there were only two of us this morning.  We made the short route, only about 4 miles, but the wind was blowing pretty strong, so that was good enough.  When I got back it was starting to sprinkle and that was the deciding factor.  In fact I had a few drops on the mirror and my glasses.  We have this rule on rainy days, everyone for themselves and if you are slow too bad, you just get wetter than the rest.
  when I got back Marg was doing housework in advance of having house guests.  One of the ladies at happy hour yesterday said she was making rolls and to stop in and get one for each of us.  I went down to take the garbage and they were just getting set up to have coffee, so Nancy gave me a couple to bring home.  They were very nice and much appreciated.
  Richard and Evelyn Proulx got to our place about mid morning.  They had been staying in Sun City West and drove over to spend a couple of nights.  It was great to see them again.  After a bite of lunch Richard & I went to play pool while the ladies went to do a bit of shopping; Bells & Kohls I think.  Richard made lots of excuses about not playing for a long time, but that generally sets of the alarm bells thinking that the complainer may want to play for money - LOL.  Anyway we had some good games and he beat me a couple of times.  It was his first time playing 1/15 eight ball, but he adjusted quickly and adapted to the difference.
  We took them to happy hour.  With the wind and cooler weather it was at Blanke's and remembered seeing each other last summer at the lake.  There was a pretty good turnout at happy, I would guess about 2 dozen.  As it turns out there were 6 couples who left on Monday and 2 more today.  That was a topic, as would be expected.   After Marg had supper in the slow cooker, so it was back to the park model for that.
  Supper was a bit of a hurried effort as we had to go to bingo.  They said they hadn't played for quite a while, but then Evelyn pulled off a win in the last game of the evening.  It was the full card and she did have to share it, but still a good payday for her.  Well off to bed as we need to get up early for golf tomorrow.
