Thursday

Well it is officially hot.  It was warm out by the time we got up and about and by mid afternoon was 93F/34C in the sun.  It was pretty nice in the shade, but there wasn't much of that.
  Went for coffee and rolls this AM in the hall & Marg came along.  Third week in a row for her, so they don't think she is new to the park any longer.  The park owner was there and gave an update on how expensive it is to run the place and his efforts to keep the rents low in comparison to other parks in the area.  Turns out 2/3rds of the stalls in the park are annual rentals, so that explains why it is tough to get space for shorter terms.  He also talked about the problems with the wifi & basically told us they don't have sufficient band width.  What a revelation that was, wait a minute we forgot to ask what he is doing about it, LOL.
  When we finished Marg went to water aerobics.  With the nice weather they had quite a large group and they all jumped and thrashed about in the water for the usual 1 hour.  The water was perfect temperature and they had a good workout.  While this was going on I went and helped Jerry put down pavers, you know, paving blocks to walk on.  He stopped by to tell me he was doing it and knowing he has such a bad back, I suspect he was looking for assistance.  Anyway we got them all laid, but ran out before the job was complete.
  Went for lunch with Kenny & Doris and Ron & Mary to a golf club restaurant called Kokopelli's.  The food is very good and you have the option of sitting on the patio overlooking the course.  It's a pretty nice course with all the amenities, green fees are $199, so it is not in the budget saver range.  The beer was good & cold and best of all we had a coupon for it.  LOL  We took our time over lunch, I don't think we left there until around 3PM, but then again we weren't in any hurry.
 
  We got back just in time for a pool party.  The gals in water aerobics arranged for a party at 4 today.  There were probably 2 or 3 dozen of us.  It was a perfect day for it with the heat and the pool temp was perfect.  I managed to get the trunks on and made it into the pool.  First time this year for me in the pool, so the pressure is off.  I generally only get in there once over the course of the winter.  Marg on the other hand stayed in until her fingers were wrinkled.  They had all kinds of finger food and it was byob, so we had a couple of wobbly pops on the pool deck.
  After Kenny & Doris stopped in for coffee & Bailey's.  All in all a pretty good day for the snowbirds in the valley of the sun.
