Wednesday was pool time. Starting to tan up now. Pool time is about the only time I've been in the sun. Been on a quest to get this quilt top made. Took most of Wed. to get the 2 pieced borders together to finish the stars off that connect each corner of the log cabin blocks. Maybe I'll take a picture of the cover of the book, so you can see what it looks like. By 9:00p.m. I had those borders on and one plain bor der done. I just couldn't do anymore that day. Folded it up and cleared off the table of sewing supplies. Thursday was pool time again. Then cleaning. De-cat-haired the chairs around here and put down some towels so I don't have to spend any time on that when it's time to leave! Swept up, mopped up; made the place presentable. Had some lunch and checked on Marla's flight. Coming in 15 min earlier tha
n I had expected. Guess I'd better get to the airport! She flew Alegiant Air from Appleton and came into a smaller airport out here near Mesa. Was a quick little trip down there-only about 15 min. 1/2 hour free parking so went in to find her. Waited for her bag that she carried on, but they stowed it away, anyway. She was hungry, so a quick stop at Subway. Stopped at the grocery store. Getting pretty low on supplies around here again. Home to relax a while. Warmed up some leftovers frozen from last week and some fresh green beans. Off to the social hall for a concert by These Three Tenors-not to be confused with THE Three Tenors. 3 men from Long Island who either sang on broadway or opera. GREAT voices. Nice variety of songs, as well. About a 90 minute show. The one guy had such a presence just the way he stood and puffed his chest, you just knew he was the opera singer. They've been together 17 years.

Friday was pool day. My Canadian friends, Larry & Sharon have also arrived. It was so good to turn around in the pool and see them sitting in the sun, drinking coffee. Marla came to the patio, too. So, after introductions we chatted and enjoyed the sun and each other. Home to finish getting ready for the day. Off to get gas and head out to Saguaro Lake for lunch and the 90 minute lake cruise on the Desert Belle. Wonderful little cruise. I like it better than the Dolly Steamboat on Canyon Lake (I've now taken 3 times). So much more variety to see-canyon walls, marsh areas, interesting formations, The Four Peaks and a few wakeboarders along the way. Very nice afternoon. Home again. Still had leftovers from Thursday night to finish off.
Saturday I headed to the pool. Weather is changing for the weekend. We could watch the clouds start coming in and the wind starting to pick up. Gets a little cool coming out of the pool with the wind picking up. Some take a quick dip in the hot tub to make it to the locker room. Sometimes I do; most times I don't. My new shoes-to replace the "one" I lost-but eventually found-finally arrived today. Called Karen (& Palmer) to see what they're up to. They were out rummage sale shopping. No trinkets for them today. They came by shortly after 1 to pick us up to head out to Filly's. Little country western bar headed out toward Goldfield and the Ghost Town-also on the way to Tortilla Flats. Was windy and dust blowing around by then. They said Saturday from 1-5 was Sr. Citizen happy hours. Band usually plays outside, but inside due to weather we guessed. The place was packed. We sat outside anyway. Cold beer tasted pretty darn good! Had some food and hung out til after 4:00. Back home again for a while. Went to Redbox to find a movie-Bridesmaids and to Fresh & Easy for water they have on sale right now. Popped in the movie. Took an intermission to make some sandwiches and watched the rest of it. Then some channel surfing. Marla's clock is all mixed up. She hadn't adjusted to Daylight Savings Time and now add another hour difference to it. AZ doesn't change time, so now I'm 2 hours different from home.
