MARCH....Doug
& Fran's friends, Kim & Trace were here for the weekend of
Mar 5th. On the 7th we all went to dinner at
'The Crossing' (very good). The evening of the 8th we all
went out to the desert and had a bonfire where we roast shrimp &
hot dogs. John & Angie, and Les joined us. Doug was on a
mission to burn the old wood from the deck. The managed to stay out
there until 1am!.
We
stained the deck & started packing up.
The
17th we went to Mexico where we all went to the dentist.
Mike, Doug & I had cleanings. Fran & I had a filling. Lunch
was at the street taco place (Lupita's – found out that they have a
truck now on Fortuna near Walgreens).
Doug
& Fran left on their second bike ride on the 18th.
Bob & Cheryl came for a visit on Friday. We barb-b-cued steaks
that evening. On Sat. we went to Bernardo's for a pizza for lunch
and then went to the Arizona Market Place to wonder around. That
evening we went to Lute's for dinner and drinks. We sat around the
fire that evening. On Sunday we made breakfast and then they left.
The
21st Mike & stained the remaining fence and casita
porch. We started early but it was still hot...it's in the 90's now.
