Saturday pool time. Only about 10 or 11 of us now. So many have packed up and left. Although, some people are just getting company with the various spring break schedules. Did a little reading. Took inventory of fabrics to see if I had enough of the right stuff to make up the catherdral window sampler. Not quite. Took a trip over to a small quilt store. I knew Bernina didn't carry many batiks. Found 3 pieces to go with 2 I wanted to use. Sat down with my sandwich for lunch and watched an episode of Sara's House on HGTV. Then changed the channel and found a western movie. Watched about half of it-then called Jen and Renee on their way home from their little quilt camp. Pulled out the new fabrics and started cutting. Put together 6 blocks before I headed out for supper. Picked up a pool lady from MI. We've been chatting in the pool. I overheard her say she'd not been to Paradise Bakery. That was all the hint I needed to invite her along. Vi was all dressed up for o
ur night out. I had chipoltle chicken cesear salad. She had the famous roasted tomato soup and 1/2 chicken cesear salad. She really enjoyed it and said she'd be back again. We sat and chatted for quite a while. Headed back home and picked up some mail. Was really nice outside-still in the 80's.

Showered and cleaned up. Marla called. Told her it was a bit early for a call-didn't work-she'd seen me on the computer earlier. Decided to go to the Mesa Market Swap Meet today. It's free to get in; but can cost you to get out! It's on Fri, Sat and Sun from 7-4. In chatting with others, it doesn't really get alive until 9. Stopped for coffee and carmel roll at Paradise-it's just around the corner from the Swap Meet. Found a lightweight hoodie that I'd seen all over last year. Yep, she had it in my size. She's from Cable! Works at Telemark during the summer months. I thought her price was right, too. Later saw the same jackets for $10 more. All kinds of stuff-4 big buildings. Clothes, tools, bungie cords-and a new bungie with a nob or big button th
at I'd not seen before. 7 Mile Fair to the nth degree! Have to check the prices. I think some prices were better at the Market Place at the resorts. It was a good time. Some will haggle, others not so much. I bought a sagauro cactus to plant in the front berm. It should look really nice there! Nicholson Rd will never be the same! Stopped by the bank ATM. Here's a new scam to watch out for. A little boy-5-7 came over by me. I turned to look at him. He didn't say anything. I knew the cash would soon be coming out. I moved closer to the machine to block his view. Once the cash came out, he moved closer and asked if he could have one! I said, I think not! Then he walked all the way to the end of the check out lanes and I heard him holler to his dad. I should've told the kid he could have one for $20 and see what he would've done. Came home for a short visit. Headed out of town on the Usery Pass Rd toward Bush Rd to Saguaro Lake. Beautiful scenery! Love the mountains and the cacti. Not many wildflowers. Some cacti in peoples' yards are ready to flower. Even a few here in the park. Stopped to look around. Had a little lunch. Came back into town on Bush Hwy. It comes into town on Power Rd-1 big road to the west of me. When we leave, we'll head out the way I did today. Came home. Pool time. Like going out in the sun late in the afternoon. Saw one of the pool ladies there. 1/2 hour-time to flip-but I hit the pool instead. Puttering around and started chatting with 2 women from the U P. They're sisters-in-law. Very nice. Mary and Jackie. I recognized Jackie-she volunteers in the kitchen. Visited a while. I got out to dry off. Moved to a different spot, as mine was now in the shade. Comfy in the sunshine. Then some guy says, are these chairs taken? I looked up and said they look empty to me. Could I take his picture so he could show his friends? He wanted to be sure I got others in the pool, too. Took a few-he checked them and asked for a couple more. In the meantime, Jackie called my name and told me to come over by them when I was done. Jackie and Mary warned me to stay away from him. He likes to "attach" himself to people and bug them to death. So, I just pulled up a chair and sat by them! He tries to get into dances without paying. He comes to events and wants to know what food he can take home with him. They said his wife won't dance with him, so he's always asking other women to dance. Nah, he wasn't any good looking. I teased them that I was finally getting some action and they warned me not to! Not much else today. Time for some TV.
