Thursday - Dan, Gary and Gerry went to the Pima Air and Space Museum, the girls went to the Tucson Gem Show, and I went to the dentist to get my temporary crown. Not fun! That night, our motorhome neighbors behind us, Wally and Jan, invited us over for refreshments. We ended up visiting all evening - we have a lot in common and had a great time with them. Wally and Jan will be hitting the road for full-time RVing in May.
Gary here: The Pima Air & Space Museum is a must see for anyone even remotely interested in aircraft, military aircraft and space travel. Plan to spend most of the day, there are literally hundreds of planes on display both inside and outside. Take the tram tour, as it is the easiest way to see the outside displays with narration. You can browse the inside displays on your own. Definitely a lot to see and absorb, very fun!!!
Friday - Valentine's Day! After morning chores, I went and joined Deb for a long walk in Saddlebrooke. Gary stayed home and worked on motorhome projects. After I was back, we sat outside most of the afternoon reading and enjoying the sun. Joe called and invited us over for supper, Deb made a great chicken and dressing casserole for our supper.
Saturday - We were up early and went for a grocery run, then drove around the neighborhood area of Catalina. Most of the time we just see the businesses along the highway, there are many homes in the hills behind. We were back home and late morning we had new motorhome neighbors move in beside us. We saw there license plates said Iowa, and they are from Sioux City!! Who would guess?? We sat outside again in the afternoon, reading and enjoying the warm sun. Later, we went and picked up my cousin Terri and her husband, Arn, who arrived in their 5th wheel camper and camped at the Catalina State Park. We took them to the San Carlos Grill (locally owned and one of our very favorites in Tucson!!) for supper and then went back to their camper for a nice visit. Terri and Arn sold their RV Park in Butte, MT last fall and had been spending the winter in Florida. They were traveling back this way on their way back to Montana to pack up their belongings from the mobile home they lived in while in Montana and to close on the sale of the park.
Sunday - we went to Mass again at St. Helen's in Oracle. We are enjoying the small mission church there and the people are so friendly. Afterward we came home and had a bite to eat, then went to the Honey Bee Trail Park for hiking. We took the south trails this time, hiking down through the washes and up over the desert hills. A very nice day, again. After we were home, Gary helped Wally hitch up his car on the dolly, they are leaving for a few days to visit friends. We sat outside and were home rest of the day and evening.
Monday - we were having our first supper guests this evening, so I went and bought groceries for the menu. (It seems we are always running to the grocery store!!, but with our limited space and refrigerator, we buy less - so have to go more often!) I cleaned house and did laundry, Gary caught up on all the paperwork. We pulled our table out and put leaves in - the first time we have done that on the road. Gary went over and borrowed folding chairs from the community room here, so we were set for company. Deb & Joe came over and we had a great time. I tried a new recipe for Greek burgers, we had tomato/cucumber salad and crumb top apple pie for dessert. (I was past due on making Gary's birthday pie) Joe brought ice cream to have with the pie, that was a treat for us.
Tuesday - we have been sleeping in a little, but that is changing now that we have business meetings to listen to every day. I went to Deb's mid-morning and we did a long walk with Krista. It was good to get out and stretch the legs. Afterward, I came home and worked on my projects around the house. We sat outside late afternoon and then drove over to Oracle for a pizza supper at Nonna Maria's, the nice Italian place there.
