Saturday evening

We made it through a fast week of gorgeous weather and nice temp's mixing working in between! :)

I began my job Tuesday morning with the gals who are Hispanic "training" me...... they don't speak much English so I was asking and reasking! if I understood them correctly.... my job isn't very hard at all .....I think I have "my system" down by now and have enjoyed visiting with the people who come into the laundry room. Across the laundry room is a building that holds 4 rooms--- billards, woodshop, ceramics, and lapidary/stained glass... I have to clean one of those rooms each day and then across that building to complete the "square" is the post office which is cleaned daily. It takes me almost 3 1/2 hrs. to clean them... that includes washing windows and mopping a room floor each day except for the billards and woodshop..... the billards room is carpeted and the woodshop takes care of its own room because of the sawdust. I only have 1 bathroom to clean and that isn't dirty at all.... so I feel pretty lucky to do what I am doing.

Bill has been painting this week and is beginning to paint the building's I just described.... he works 2 1/2 days and is off 4....not bad!

We have been swimming a few times this week and enjoying the hot tub... we have been riding our bikes for the most part.... until we talked to our nephew Darrin and he told us their company had a golf cart they don't use ....so we worked out a deal and Darrin "delivered" 'their/our' golf cart on Thursday!!!! I LOVE THAT GOLF CART! I am just not the most steady on that darn bike and I know we will love using the golf cart. ... esp. going to the pool when we have a bag with a noodle each and towels, etc. to take with us. Thanks Darrin! I told him he just doesn't know how his "OLD" aunt appreciates it!

I went to "Quilts of Valor" meeting on Thursday evening.... it is a group that puts quilts together to send to the Veterans and soldiers..... we got almost 2 quilt tops done the other night.... they are probably going to be lap top quilt sizes so they will go fast.

Friday afternoon we cleaned and finished our laundry and then since it was my birthday we went out to eat with Gary/Angela and another couple...Howard and Mary... we went to a Mexican restaurant called Arriba's. It was very good and we all got plenty of food! We came back here and played "joker"...the guys won 2 out of 3 games.... we will get them next time! It was a fun evening.

This am we got around and went with Gary/Angela to a craft show at Sun City West several miles from here.... It was amazing how big that place was..... and the things they made was so neat! The place reminded us of "The Villages" in Florida.
When we left there we went to the Flea Market in Goodyear... very disappointing....not much there and NOTHING like we saw in Ocala last year. So we got home around 2:30 today and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Late afternoon our nephew called, Jon from Michigan, and came by ...he had flown down to go to the car races here this weekend..... we had a great visit with him... We were glad to see him...it had been about 3 years since we had seen him.

So Bill is flipping football channels... now watching football..... I think it's time to sew!!!!

Have a good evening!
Until next time!
