Monday saw Geri, Cathy, Kathy, Sandy, Sharon and me climbing aboard a big bus heading to a casino in Chandler, AZ. No—we are not gamblers but the casino is located next door to a nice outlet mall. The bus ride cost us $5 each and on arrival at the casino we each received $20 in gambling credit. The majority of the bus riders gambled I think but our group didn’t spend much in the casino—for one thing, I can’t take the cigarette smoke and I just don’t like the odds!
We were gone all day—the cowboy and Larry were tractor shopping. Jane and Rich spent the day getting acclimated, finding the grocery store, hardware store and setting up their TV dish.
Today the homeowners association systems manager brought over the new Chromebook I will be using as the HOA secretary. Getting used to that keyboard may take some time to say the least! And I most definitely will have to have an external mouse—I’m not a fan of the touch pads.
Michael and I joined Pam and John at Nichols West in Congress for lunch—thanks guys for treating us!!
Geri and Larry came over joining the four of us for happy hour after which Jane and I took the two younger dogs for a walk. They have an elderly cocker spaniel, Hunter who doesn’t have the stamina for a long walk. Lacy is a rescue pooch with boundless energy and standishoff-ish Ms. Emmi even played with Lacy as we walked along.
Our citrus trees are blooming and smell heavenly--
A beautiful day in North Ranch.

ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean by touch pads but I dislike touch screens even more.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten used to the touch pad, but it took some time. Have not gotten used to casino smoke though :-( LOVE the smell of citrus blooms!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Another job? Seriously though, you always seem to step up to help out. That is a nice thing. And I am betting that you will adjust to the Chrome-book quickly.
