Sunday, March 25th

A nice day today, although a little windy. It was not quite as hot as yesterday, but a warm one none the less. For some reason we were up and about by 7:30AM, not sure what was going on with that. Anyway we went out to Gilbert as Marg wanted to check out the Nordstroms rack store. It's quite a way from here, probably around 20 miles. This is about the only way we can afford to shop at a Nordstrom store. Stopped on the way back at a Ross's, which is now one of Marg's fav's, even if there are stores in almost every area of the city. She got some good stuff and was well pleased with the day. Supper was bbq and was very good, as usual. Had to finish up quick as Marg went to play cards - 31, at the hall. There is a group that usually plays after the ice cream social, however the socials have ended now, so they played earlier. She never brought home the cash, but she had a good time. A funny thing happened. One of the guys playing had been by earlier and declined the offer of a beer, which came up during conversation. Marg advised him the offer was still open and he should go to the rv & approach me, which he did as he was knocked out of the game at the time. It was kind of confusing for me, so I just said will a couple do and sent him away with 2. I knew one of the other players would almost certainly have one. In the end I guess it was good for a chuckle. This was Margs first time playing, going out while I stayed back, but it doesn't sound like it will be her last. After cards, Bingers pulled a surprise stopping by and we all went to DQ. I guess we were all suffering from ice cream withdrawal with the end of the socials, so went to make it up this way. When we got there they had a special on blizzards, so we all had them. Marg had a Hawaiian one & I had a banana split one, both were very good. Gave us a chance to look our competition over, Hah!
