Friday, January 13th.

Well the media have been making a big deal of this day, Friday the 13th with a full moon.  Probably an unlucky day for weirdo's.
  The day was overcast, but still quite pleasant.  It could be and will be warmer, so no use complaining, right?
  In the morning we went out to a park sale.  Marg had arranged for 3 other people to ride with us, well two ladies who like to garage sale and one husband who wanted to ride with me.  It wasn't the best sale we have been to, but each of the ladies found a few things they could use, but nothing major.  After we cruised the areas around the other parks and none were productive.  We did stop at on yard sale and one estate sale, but neither of those were very productive, so we called it a day.  In the next while there will be lots of park sale opportunities.  They tend to be better than yard sales because, although they seem a lot alike to me.
  After we got back Marg made something to eat and then I went golfing to The Links at Queen Creek with 3 guys from the park.  It's certainly challenging enough for me and these guys are fun to go with, lots of laughs.  A couple of them had really good scores, I think one was 76 and the other 83 while us other two were in the 90's.  It was pretty much shirt sleeve weather, so a nice day to play and one of the guys got the booking off Golf Now, which gave us a rate reduction of $20 lower than what they charge, so a good deal.  I only lost one ball today, so that is a good day for me.  It was a bit unusual as we started on #10 and finished on #9, not certain what they had going but it was interesting to play the course that way.  The foursome in front of us was a grandfather, his daughter and her two children.  The kids were both playing in a youth tournament on the weekend so playing a practice round.  The little girl was probably 10 or 12 and she could hit the ball a couple hundred yards right down the middle every time.  The boy was a teenager and could play with most any adult I know.
  Marg got the laundry steaming caught up, I guess she had it left to do from the previous day.  Then she went out for a bit to Bells and found a few things.  She has been looking for a bathing suit for a long time and finally had success with her search.  One piece suits are quite expensive and she got a heck of a deal on the one she purchased, so she was very happy with both the deal and suit.  She also bought me a shirt and a few other things, so considered it a successful trip.   She likes to shop alone because she can go at her own pace and not feel pressured and I am good with it, so it's all good.
  At days end the guys dropped me off and stopped in for a beer.  Then Marg had supper on the table and we ate in with a nice salad and plate of spaghetti rounded out with the lemon pie.
