Life in AJ - Jan 3

The weather at night is chilly, must be down close to the freezing point. During the middle of the day when the sun gets out, it's very pleasant, T-shirt weather. Renewed lots of acquaintences today. While there are new people, the majority have been here a while. Yesterday we bought an attachment for the antennae to improve TV reception, but had to take it back to Camping World today. Now that is an RV store, they sell everything from light bulbs to RV's & some accessories you likely have not seen. They also perform every RV service you can think of. Renovations are big down here & they re-model units. Stopped at the superstition farm market & Marg got some stuff. Prices there are amazing - oranges 4 pounds for $1 & lettuce 25 cents a head. Then to Fry's, her fav grocery store. We were quite disappointed, no ice cream social yesterday, probably because it is early in the season & cool. Kenny & Doris arrived last nite & we had a nice visit with them. They are from Kansas & had some very bad weather. Marg chatted up Betty & it turns out her other pal, Sue broke her leg, so won't be down for a few weeks yet. Talked to Trouts and they made it down after much bad weather. That's the general tenor of conversation - when did you get here, how was the trip, how bad is the weather at home. We generally are the winners of - the weather at home is terrible - how cold is it, questions. It would be nice to be first at something else. After lunch Marg did laundry, I played pool. 3 loads of laundry, no soap [but ask her how much fabric softener she has], so I made a last minute run to get detergent while the machines sat full. One or two new faces at pool, but I played with some repeats: Steve [Washington state], Pat [Saskatchewan], & Ray [Minnesota]. Ray is a hooker & that's not a good thing when you shoot behind him [like I did today], but this was a fun group. Marg is already asking questions like, this is the road to Superstition Mall - right? This is the road to some shopping place or another. Won't be long and they will all know she is back in town. That's about it for now, stay tuned, something interesting is bound to happen ;-)
