Friday

The days are chilly at night and warm up nicely once the sun gets up, pretty normal any place on earth, but much more noticeable in the desert.
  Marg got up and did a few things this morning, but 10 came early and that was their appointed departure hour for the Fort.  Today was the end of the big promo so the draws were held for the big prize, a Mercedes and some nice cash prizes as well.  There was a cash alternative instead of taking the car of $42,000.  This made the place and all activity very busy, so they wanted to allow for that.  One of the ladies won $825, but unfortunately Marg was not the winner and her name never came out of the draw bucket.
  I went out to look for a propane fire pit, but couldn't find one in AJ, so had to go to Lowes up on Higley where I got one for a hundred dollars.  I think it will be great for any get together's in the breezeway.  If the weather is a bit cooler on Sunday, it will take the chill off the place.  I had some problems with a denture and went to the dental office that made it 4 years ago.  The ladies got me in pretty quick and had it fixed in a couple of hours.  They remembered me, not sure how, but there was no charge for the repair.  Pretty amazing considering how much time has passed.  In between I sprayed all the weeds around the park model and picked up some glue traps for the place. 
  I finished all that and got back to the park just in time for happy hour.  It was pretty well attended and then the group went out to the Chinese buffet after.  Gary and I stayed behind as our wives had arranged to get pizza delivered that we would have with Larry [it's his place where happy happens] as his wife is one of the gamblin' gals.  By the time I left there it was about 7, so time to put the feet up.
  Marg got back home about 9 and started in baking a cake.  Apparently the lady baking the cake for the shower is making a small one and with 25 ladies, Marg felt the need to make another.  Made for a long day for her.
