Renee's been joining me for pool exercises. She caught on real quick. Had 1 last chiro visit Tues am then we headed out to Tortilla Flats. Great day to be outside-sunny, not much wind. Lunch at the restaurant there. I'd forgotten about all the $1 bills "papering" all the walls. Took in the scenery in the bathroom, as well. The wooden doors are painted with ladies of the west. As you stand in the stall, have your picture taken as a dance hall girl! Listened to some live music outside. One of the guys played in the AZ Opry. Took a trip down the road 2 miles back to catch a ride on the Dolly Steamboat. Was smart this time and stood in line when we got there. Got tickets 5 & 6 so we could get on in the first 25 to board. Took the stairs to the top and out to the back deck. Rex was the outside guide and was good at explaining the area and any questions folks had. Couldn't find a sheep up on the mountain who was with her lamb. Maybe he was kidding us. Renee enjoyed the ride, as did I for another trip. Had a couple beers after we got home with pretzels as we each did some reading. Salads and burnt chix on the grill. That thing really cooks on high! Just scraped off the really bad spots and put the rest in the microwave to finish it. It worked! Cleaned up dishes for the night.
One last morning in the pool. Hate to see it end. Coffee with the Canadians. Dave came by and was telling motorcycle stories. Headed out for some quilt shop hopping. Found a store than Lois and I had missed. Just before we got in line to pay, the clerk was yelling at another employee just inside the office door. She was hot! She'd just had it she kept saying. Since it's a family store, I thought maybe it was her son who came by to question what was happening. She just kept saying she'd rang the bell for help and nobody came to help. Customers are lined up to the door. OHHH, she needed a chill pill and just yelled again. We left the area and pretended to look at something else. She was still fuming when we did get back in line to check out. Lucky for us, she left to talk to someone so she didn't wait on us. Off to another store that Lois and I hadn't made it to. (sorry, Lo Lo. just some new stops for next year). Lunch at Paradise. 1 or 2 more stores and back home. Stopped by Kay's unit to pick up some lemons. I can almost taste lemon meringue pie! Back to the pool one last time. The wind had kicked up but still wonderful. Switched out some laundry and time to start packing. Renee is the ultimate packer. still room in the car. Only have a few things to put in just as we leave. 
More to come as we make our way back home.
Helicopters have been hanging in the sky. News tonight: a shooting at a hotel not far from here. I'm at Sossaman and Broadway. The shooting was at Main and Sossaman-about 1 mile north of us. Guess it is time to hit the road!
