Our friends from Ohio (a scout leader friend of Gary's and his wife, Bill and Esther) are here and working in a new Cafe' that Cal-Am owns. It is a struggle for Esther as they have her learning the cash register which is not her type of work. So hope that it works out for them in the long run.
We have had some doctor appointments and are getting into the activities here in the park now as they have begun for the season. Population is very minimal before November and even then is still not to capacity until January 2nd. So they do not get into full swing with entertainment and all until January.
Gary has gotten into a genealogy group here in the park and also goes and works at the LDS Library here in Mesa. They are most helpful and he loves working with them. We both joined the computer club so that Gary can work on the computers in the park for genealogy and I can get help with our computer problems. Gary also joined Wood carving and is also making a car for the pinewood derby in March. The pencil art class that he started three years ago will not begin sessions until January.
I have gotten into my usual scrapbooking twice a week for eight hours total. We've already had a day out to the Scrapbooking Barn to spend money and work with their die cuts. I also joined TOPS and am thinking about water aerobics. But need a new swimming suit first.
We get together about every week with Bill and Jane, our other Salem friends to play cards. And we go to Bingo here in the park almost weekly. We want to get them acquainted with Bill and Esther, but had to wait for Bill and Esther's friends to go back to Ohio.
Gary and I went to a class that gave out coupons and an offer for a bus trip to Laughlin, NV. It was too good to pass up so we will be going December 1st thru the 4th.
We have already had the Thanksgiving Dinner here in the park last Tuesday.

Awesome decorations!! |
So delicious!! We went to the ELKS in the area for our actual Thanksgiving Day dinner this week.
I got out of having to make dinner here. Yipee!! Sorry Kathy and Kevin that you will be back home by then.
Wednesday evening we went to Organ Stop for pizza with Bill, Esther, Kathy and Kevin also. Was a fun evening and pizza was a treat for us. As I said hope that we do not begin putting on the pounds.
Gary and I have two computers going here in the motorhome!! Since he got started on the genealogy research, he has the computer most of the time. So I decided that after I finished writing out our Christmas cards and wrapping gifts to send home soon, I would get the old computer back out. I can e-mail and type on it, but can not access my photos. So will drop the photos in later.
A gentleman who runs the computer club here in the park is going to take a look at my problem on Monday. Hope he can shed some light on the problem, or better yet, fix it!!
Gary has been working on the cleaning and waxing of the outside of the motorhome and keeps it looking very nice. It is quite dusty here so I really need to be doing more in the way of cleaning inside. I did begin in the back and got the bedroom done and most of the bathroom. But have not been in any hurry to do the living area. Will need to do it before I get decorations out for Christmas.
Gary also took the car to have the windows tinted to keep more sun out. He almost wished that he went a shade darker, but will do as is. It sure cuts out the glare from the side and back windows, and looks very nice also.
Stay with us and maybe I will get caught up with pictures.
