I was really tired last night and slept pretty well .  Got up at normal time 7:30. We decided to do run some  errands. We went to Norris RV to order a coiled hose since it was the furthest out. Then we stopped at JoAnn's and Lowes.  Back to the rig for lunch a Teryx ride to check the mail and prepare to go coloring. 
Had a great time at coloring which is more a time to chat with other ladies and escape the husbands. When I got home we did our daily Teryx ride and drop off  at the dog park.  We grilled hamburgers for dinner.  Did dishes and some sewing.  I actually figured out something by myself. I sewed the binding together for the pencil role.  I feel Betty looking over my shoulder urging me to be more perfect in my work.  .  Then on the bed for TV, shower and bed.

A rather blah day all in all.  We were up way before our usual time to go to breakfast with Betty and Larry at the Cracker Barrel. I did not get enough sleep which is not a good combination.   Breakfast  was very good.  It rained most of the night so there were big puddles all around in the streets.   We were home at nine-ish.  I sewed most of the day.  It was rather nice to stay home after the busy week we had.  Still there was a let down I guess. Betty was trying to help via texts. Their friends finally got here from South Dakota.  I guess they got here about 1 PM.  I started on a popcorn candy bag which ended up in the trash basket.  Which also added to my sour mood.  I have to get some thicker batting.  Anyway the vinyl came in contact with a very hot iron.  I tried to salvage it but to no avail. 
So I decided to do what I do best.  Cook.
Made a potato sausage casserole which we devoured.  Then I worked on the pencil roll which won't hold all my pens.  So other than running the dogs to the dog park we stayed warm in the trailer all day.
After sewing I did the usual TV movie thing.  And that was my day in a nutshell.

Today was a red letter day. I drive the truck without Steve not once but twice.
We got up normal time and did our normal chores.  Then we went down to the cart show.  Got some new steak knives which are very sharp.  We walked around the different vendors and Steve had Don Morris sharpen some knives for him. We took the dogs for a short Teryx ride.  Their favorite thing to do.
Once we got back to the rig I went down to Betty's to see the quilt she had quilted.  Then we decided to check out the local quilt store.  I dove Betty and me to the store and parked near the curb.   Went inside but decided we needed to come back so we didn't miss the hot dog lunch by Relay for Life.   We sat in the pool area with Sandy and Alan.  Dropped the guys off so they could play horseshoes while we were back at the quilt store scouting fabric for two more projects.   Back to the park without incident.  While the guys were still playing Betty and I started making out pencils roll.  When I walked down to the park Darlene was headed down to the clubhouse and guess what she bought a pencil roll.  So when Betty and I dot stuck we hijacked the Teryx and headed down to the clubhouse in search of Darlene and her pencil roll.  Once we figured out what was what we were back to the trailer to do more cutting.   They were having happy hour which Steve did not want to do.  I came home  and we took the dogs for yet another ride in the Teryx with the dogs.  Then we grilled the steaks.  It was threatening to rain so we wanted to be done grilling and get the BBQ covered. We had a  great dinner and used the new steak knives.  Dinner then dishes and some sewing on the quilt.   Still having some trouble with the quarter inch seams.  Some TV and a shower to finish off another very busy day.
So glad Steve decided to play horseshoes.  I hope he continues to play while we are here.  Good exercise and entertainment.   Keeps him away from the snacks for a few hours.

Wow another fun filled day in Fiesta Grande.  We got up as normal and did our chores.  We were planning on doing some errands this morning.   Just as we were leaving Betty called and wanted me to go with her to pick up her quilt.  So I had to tell her no.  We went to the Verizon store so they could put the new protective face plates on.  Then over to Michael's.  Then we stopped for propane.  Last was a stop at Walmart.  We finished up putting everything away by 12:15.  A very quick lunch then down to coloring.   Stopped to pick up Betty but she left already.  Picked up a new person named Barbara.  Back to the house and got in a ride in the Teryx.  A stop at the dog park. Then I got an hour or so of sewing in.  A quick dinner then off to the dance.  Vintage Gold was the name of the band.i had a great time.  We finally we plucked up our courage and got on the dance floor.  We danced about 4 or 5 dances.  We sat at a table with Marge and Jim who we met last year. The band was fantastic.   We still are not in sync on the dance floor.  I almost screwed up my courage to do some line dancing.

Another cold day in Casa Grande.  Temps down in the 20's again and the hose detaches from the trailer.  We were out early despite the cold.  Steve drove me in the Teryx over to Sandy and Alan's.  Sandy and I made our way over to Honey I shrunk the kids.  I didn't get brave enough to get on the scale but at least I am more aware of what I am eating.  I need to cut back and at least tonight I had only one taco instead of two.  We offered each other moral support and share tips.  Hopefully I will get motivated.
Sandy and I walked back and I decided to sit and visit with Sandy for awhile then home for a shower and a shave.
Picked up Alan and Sandy and we dove to Maricopa for lunch at the 347 Grill  at the Casino. It was very good.  I had fresh fruit instead of fries!  A win for the home team.  Then over to the Dwarf Car Museum.  Really cool.

The cars are built to a 11/16 scale. There were movies about haw he built the cars. They are driveable.  He recently drove one to Tuscon.  Then we drove back to Fiesta Grand.  Took the dogs to the dog park and their ride in the Teryx.  I made tacos for dinner then dishes, sewing, TV. 

A really great day and even time for a short nap.

We are sure busy here.  Seems like we are constantly on the go.  Just when I thought I was going to have a few morning something popped up..  we got up at the normal time.  Steve headed off to the Gym.  I met him at the meeting where they tell you what is going in for the month.  Don't think I will be going to the meeting very often.
Picked up the mail which included packages for Steve.  Then we headed back to the rig.  I worked on my quilt for awhile.   Steve checked out his new wood burning kit. Then took the dogs for a walk.  Grabbed a bite to eat.  Headed out with the Teryx to pick Betty up and went to the quilt club and joined.  Then over to coloring first a short session.  Then took Sandy out in the Teryx.   As soon as I got back home Steve wanted to take the dogs for a ride in the Teryx.  We cooked brats on the grill for dinner.  Then down to the clubhouse for dobbing on the bingo cards. Alan finally binged.  Walked home for dessert and some TV time.  It has been really cold here for the last week. In the 20's at night.  Steve even disconnected the hose from the trailer.  Everyone is complaining.   Due to warm up in a couple of days.

Well the first day of 2019 went very well.  We got up really late. As a matter of fact I had to wake Steve up for once.  He was going to carving but I told him he wouldn't have time if he wanted biscuits and gravy.  The biscuits and gravy won.  So he had a really big breakfast.  We then went down to check on the mail.  Then over to the laundry mat with four big loads of laundry.   That too a good three hours.  I put the key to the Teryx in my jacket pocket then threw it in the wash.  So I had to wake back to the rig to get the dryer sheets.  Good walk.  Once the laundry was folded and put away. Steve carved and I walked down to Betty's to work on the candy bags.   While I was there Diane came looking for me to buy the set of pens.  She drove me back to the rig.  Then we got ready to go to Taco Tuesday. 
We drove to Eva's and enjoyed cheap taco and good company.   Janice and John came from another park.  We had a really good time.  Sandy and Alan Larry and Betty us and Janice and John.  Guess that is just a tip of the iceberg.   We drove through old time by mistake but it was dark and hard to see much.  At the rig the dogs got walked and fed.  We had dessert and dishes got done.   I finished one candy bag ruined a zipper .  Then spent the rest of the evening watching TV and playing games on the phone 
The weather has been cold here.  Supposed to hit in the 20's tonight.  High today was in the 40's.  Snow in Tuscon.  Should stay pretty cold for at least the rest week the low 60's.  We are having a great time so far.  Betty is relentless when it come to sewing.  Just what I needed to get a jump start.   She is good for me.  We have become way too insular   we rely too much on each other for company.
