Awake 6:28 am Temp outside 45 Early clouds then clear Overnight Tucson
After coffee & before breakfast, we exercise for 45 min @ the Beaudry
workout facility. Then we use their shower...saves us from cleaning our
glass shower.
Early afternoon, we go next door into the BIG tent to have the
complimentary lunch of chicken breast, BBQ beef, potato salad, beans with
corn & a roll. Nice deal plus there is a live country western band
entertaining us during our meal.
@3:35, we drive East toward the Catalina Mountains to visit with Nanci &
Allan. We think we'll have enough time for a stop @ Costco en route but,
the traffic was terrific(rush hr) & our directions were flawed from the
beginning by that large Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. So we skipped the
Costco & drove into Allan & Nanci's driveway 2 min before the suggested
arrival time.
Nanci & Allan had lived in Anchorage for approx 10 yrs. Kathy and Nanci
got to know each other as they did water aerobics together for several
years at the AK Club. After retiring, Nanci and Allan bought a motorhome &
with the help of some Internet data, drove across the states searching for
a suitable city in which to retire. They settled here in Tucson 4.5 yrs
ago & just love it. Once we experienced their 1.5 acres and lovely home
with pool we could easily see why. The view toward the Catalina Mountains
& of the desert valley area is to die for and gives them abundant privacy.
Both Allan & Nanci enjoy cooking; our appetizer of shrimp cocktails with
wine, followed by faccacia garlic bread, tossed salad, new york steaks,
fresh baby green beans & baked potatoes plus triple chocolate cheese cake
with raspberries for dessert was the real proof of their talents. Their
Arizona desert yard reminded me of our Sonora Desert museum tour; cacti
abound, the cayotes howl, and desert wild life flourish. It was an
excellent meal with terrific hosts .......I enjoyed getting to know them
better. Back to our motorhome @ 10:10 pm.
We watch a little PBS TV late evening.
