Super Weekend!

Friday was our work day, as usual. We cleaned our condo, grocery shopped and did some planning for our super bowl party menu. Friday evening we were invited to Faye & Dave's motor home for supper and some card games. Pat Kersten is staying with them so we had a few good games of "golf."
Saturday Gary & I did some cooking. I was running short of my yarn so we made a wild goose chase to Jo-Ann's and had so much trouble remembering where it was that we were a little late for church. That meant we had to stand through the whole service. Woe is me when I am the reason that we're lost and late! I'll be more careful with Gretta, our Garmin, next time! We actually stayed home Saturday night without any company.
Sunday our Super Bowl company started showing up about 1 p.m. We had 13 people (including us)...Mac and Tim, Kathy Marcil, Pat Kersten, Skip, Char & Steve Shirley, Julie & Cal (surprised us when they arrived in Mesa) and Faye & Dave. We were pretty crammed in our living room around the TV, but I think everyone had a good time and I know everyone had plenty to eat! The last of the company left about 9 p.m. and I finished cleaning up the mess and hit the rack. The hi-lite of the day for me wasn't the game or the commercials, it was winning the big pool at the end ($40.00!!!)
Monday morning I was up bright and early so I could be ready for our outing to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum near Superior, AZ. Gary & Sandra Nordmark picked us up about 10:30. Faye, Dave & Pat followed us out there. We took about a 2 hour hike around the trails to see the wide variety of plants (mostly kinds of cacti) and some very pretty birds. However, it was not the peak season as they have had two hard frosts out there so we saw some limp and dead leaves here and there. We had lunch at the Mexican restaurant (authentic) in Superior before heading back to Mesa. We stopped over at Faye & Dave's motor home so the Nordmarks could see where they are parked. We barely made it home in time to meet the Wipers and Mac & Tim for our regular Monday night burger and beer at Dub's. Afterwards we went to Wipers for a couple of games of rummy...women-1, men-1. We were too tired to play off the tie!
Tuesday I finally got back into my routine of going to the pool. It was finally warm enough to want to walk over there! The water felt wonderful after missing it for a week. In the afternoon I played bridge. I really had boo-booed this week as I had signed my name TWICE in the list of who wanted to play and that made us one person SHORT! Oh, did I feel stupid! And to top it off, I was in the money as I won 4th place (50 cents). I apologized profusely to all the women for my dumb mistake. I hope they let me play again next week! Tuesday evening we stayed HOME!
We need a little R&R after our very busy past few days.
