Hello Dolly

Day started off with coffee & donuts in the rec hall. We were in luck this week, second last. The last 2 weeks we have been last. I told the people at the table, I might have to jump ship. Anyway it was good as they still had a few blueberry fritters & I got one. At the end they asked if anyone had anything for the good of all & I said - happy groundhog day everyone, but the groundhog said there will be 6 more weeks of winter, so we will not be leaving for at least 8 weeks in case he was wrong. Got a good laugh anyway.
Went with the Canuels to Canyon Lake & Tortilla Flats. At the marina on Canyon lake we took the Dolly steamboat ride. It's a 1 1/2 hr boat ride up the lake with an interesting narration. The lake is about 12 or 13 miles long and the average depth is 100 ft. We saw a couple of bighorn sheep on the cliffs, a bald eagle and many wonderful sights. At Tortilla flats the girls did some souvenier hunting & sight seeing.
When we got back it was a buffet at Golden Corral. We hadn't been there before, but it was great food with lots of selection. There was a wonderful salad bar & you could even get steak or seafood cooked to order. We'll go back there.
After we came back to Carefree where we played cards for a few hours. Lots of laughs. We played golf and Martha won, then kings down and Wayne won. A great evening.
