We’ve practiced cribbage and Thursday night Jim went to the clubhouse to play poker with the guys.
Yesterday we went to Mesa to open my sister’s park model. She’s flying in on Monday so we did what we could to make the house ready for her. Her hubby will be driving down with his son later in the week with a vehicle that they are going to leave here in AZ. They will then fly down to AZ in the fall and back to Helena, MT for the summer. My sister has Restless Legs Syndrome and cannot handle the long drive any longer. Turning on the electricity took a little longer than it should and also getting the pilot light lit. But next year we’ll be able to do it in half the time
Today we went to visit Aunt Happy. Her hearing aids aren’t working so it was a struggle to talk loud enough so she could hear us. She always tells such fun stories. This morning she went to the Lion’s Club breakfast as the guest of honor because she is one of their largest donors. But the pancakes weren’t cooked all the way through, they didn’t have real cream or half-and-half for the coffee, the orange juice was the cheap kind and so were the sausages. She was really glad that she didn’t have to pay the $6 for the meal because it really wasn’t worth it. Then all these guys came up to her and were giving her hugs and telling her how good it was to see her again. She didn’t have a clue as to who they were; so she was happy to get home and back to her book.
This Willy’s was sitting in the parking lot at Aunt Happy’s Senior Living Complex. Isn’t it beautiful?
I also have lots of help when I’m on the computer. Today it was Scooter’s turn to work with Mom.
You sound like you've been pretty busy!! Do you miss us? We miss you. We had to go out to eat the other night all by ourselves. That wasn't fun!
ReplyDeleteYah, i know what kind of help that Scooter is giving you!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay Scooter, we're looking for a post from you! Give Mom a day off!
ReplyDeleteNot so much fun being in an RV when it's cold and raining that's for sure. And especially if it's day after day. It can get mighty depressing mighty fast. The night's are cold down here in Ajo but at least we have had mostly sunny days and always great scenery.
ReplyDeleteI think I would like Aunt Happy. I bet Scooter is the best help you've had in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know (or forgot) your sister was in that area. How wonderful! I also have Restless Legs Syndrome. I don't have a problem sitting, it is sleeping at night. They go crazy jumping around all the time! YUCK!
ReplyDeleteHow funny about Aunt Happy and the breakfast. I am glad she didn't have to pay for it also! DOUBLE YUCK!
Half raw pancakes are not one of the finer things in life. Neither is being cooped up in the rig for too many days in a row. :P
ReplyDeleteI was a Lion's club Member for many years up in Ontario, and they do a lot of good work... sounds like they need cooking lessons over where you are!
ReplyDeleteMy three doxies like to "help" with the computer too. Nothing like trying to type while holding a computer and 3 snoozing dogs on your lap.
ReplyDeleteOur daughter has restless leg syndrome. It happens mostly at night but sometimes we'll just be sitting quietly playing cards or something and her knee will start bouncing up and down. That's not all bad; it burns calories, you know. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you started recording Aunt Happy's stories yet?
Sandie, It's been bright and sunny here in Yuma - no rain thankfully - but still not overly warm. That wind is "'nuff to cut ya" as my darling Mother would say.
ReplyDeleteIs Scooter your four legged spell checker? He's certainly keeping an eye on you! :c)
ReplyDeleteNice to see fishing has picked up for Jim. That willy's is sure a nice looking car. Nice to have Scooters help. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got a lot done for your sister and her family. It has rained and rained here in Ohio. we are expecting freezing temps soon and this will be an ice skating rink. More incentive for me to be fulltiming somewhere warm
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Love Aunt Happy!! She sounds like someone Fannie Flagg could write about! Loved the Willy, too. Rich was fascinated by antique cars; and we never missed a show we ran across. There's a great exhibit up in Deer Lodge Montana--we spent a whole day (unexpected) between it and the prison (Montana's first).
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to get everything ready for your sister.

Hi, Scooter and Skittlez,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my place, today. Santa isn't a bad guy. He's always been good to me, but maybe that's because I'm big. Maybe sometime when I go, again, I can take you guys with me. I'll protect you. Say hi to Miss Sandie and Mr. Jim for me.
Cold, rainy, dreary days are no fun for sure. But the good news is....they pass!!
ReplyDeleteYour hummingbird pic is great! I miss my hummers! Can't wait for them to return next spring.
We have a quite a few pictures of our cat Sandra checking her email and reading blogs. Full-timing with pets is such a joy.
