Thursday - today we stayed home to work. We have a busy schedule. Gary has a lunch date with a potential customer nearby at Lupe's, the little Mexican restaurant by our RV park. I stayed home and finally worked on my Ebay box. When moving out of the apartment, I packed up this box of things I just could not give away - because I was sure I could sell them and make some money. I took the pictures I needed of the items and got them listed. In researching the items, like Matchbox cars, I found they were not going to be worth the time to list them, so I will give them away now. Today I am also putting things away, because we have to take the motorhome in Friday morning to get service done. This is kind of a big job when you have not moved it for a time period. We have taken more things out to use while living here and with our work and it all has to be put away. I also prepared the salad we are taking tonight - we are part of the Sieverding salad stop for the Progressive Dinner we are having with our group.
First stop, Lisa and Jeff's for appetizers, second stop, Joe and Deb's for salads, third course was at Leo and Doris's home for grilled chicken and potato casserole and last, Brian and Krista's for desserts. Of course, we all ate too much - it is very hard to pace yourself when it is so good.
Friday - up early to get the motorhome on the road for it's service appointment. The nice thing was we could leave all the outdoor chairs, lights, and hoses at our site, since we are coming back to this park for another two weeks. And here, you don't have to worry about things blowing away or getting wet. We drove to Lance's RV Service on I-10, a family owned business we had found the week before, great people to work with. We left it there and took the car to make sales calls. We stopped for breakfast first at a small Mexican eatery, we had omelets - but they did not have coffee! So our next stop was for caffeine, we found a small coffee shop, San Giorgio's and enjoyed a cup. While there, we talked to the owner about advertising on RVillage. Sounds positive, we will check back. On to more calls, until we received the call that our motorhome was done. All went well, but they did find a hydraulic leak, so we want to get that fixed before we head to Oregon. We made that appointment for the day we are packed up and the motorhome is ready for travel.
Back home, we hooked everything up again and set up things inside again for living and working. It was a nice evening to sit outside, Wally joined us for a while.
Saturday - we went back to the Tucson KOA park and helped them get signed up. This is a big park with a lot of activities, so she was excited to have RVillage as a tool to use to talk to the residents. Actually one of the very best things about this new "job" is all the great people we have met here in the Tucson area!
We stopped at Trader Joe's on the way home and picked up groceries, then home again. We went to Vitello's for an early supper, they have excellent Italian cuisine. As we were finishing, Dan called and invited us to join them at a house party they were at - a former neighbor of Dan's. Alan and Suzanne did not know we were still in town so when Dan, Joe & Deb told them we were here, they wanted to see us. We also saw some of the other neighbors we had met in the years before and caught up with them. Everyone in Saddlebrooke is so friendly, we have met wonderful people from all over.
Sunday - Early mass again, home for breakfast and then we went in to town to get an oil change in the car and run our errands. After we were home, Gary took a bike ride and I did some housework and then we both relaxed for the day.
Monday - our neighbor, Jan, called and said she was doing haircuts today. She is teaching me how to cut Gary's hair, I'm finding it is somewhat tricky. I worked on him while she cut Wally's hair and then she finished up with Gary. What a blessing she is, I wish we could take them along with us! It will be very interesting when I have to cut his hair all by myself. There probably won't be pictures. We did some email work and then Gary took me to Deb's house. We have Ladies' Day today at the Saddlebrooke Clubhouse - a fundraiser for domestic abuse victims. They had raffles and cash drawings and then many, many booths of things ladies like. I, of course, had to be careful what I would buy because of space limitations. I found a water bottle at the Tupperware booth, some Garlic seasoning at the Tastefully Simple booth and also bought Deb an Oriole bird feeder for her yard. We ate an early supper with our group of ladies and then ended the day. Gary closed an ad sale and then had supper with Dan.
Tuesday - Work day and hopefully my last dentist visit for years! I went in and had them adjust my bite one more time with this new crown. If another tooth acts up, I 'm just going to go on a liquid diet! Home again, we went out and made sales calls. When home, we are sending out emails to potential customers, we are finding it helps to let them have a look at the RVillage site before talking to them. We realized it was supper time when Jan & Wally called and asked us to join them. Pork cutlets, rice and vegetables, way more healthy than we would have done by that time.
