Awake 5:53am Temp 48 Mostly sunny Overnight: Sun City, AZ
Attend 8:00am mass @ St. J & A. A maxed out attendance this morning.
@ 11:30, we drive toward Mesa again, stopping @ Chevron for Suzuki fuel &
a few bottles of our favorite wine @ Safeway. Then continue to the Leisure
World retirement village where Diane is performing with a group of tap
dancers in: "Guys & Dolls" @ 2:00 pm. All of these dancers(about 30 ladies
& 3 guys) are well over 60 yrs of age. They have been practicing for
nearly 2 yrs on this performance. Bill & Diane were holding tickets for us
to see this and Bill escorted us to near front row seats.
Before the doors open, Dick calls from West Phoenix near Goodyear. He
thanks us for the luncheon on Thursday & highly encourages us to visit
with him & Christine later this summer @ Newport, OR.
The show was terrific. Diane did a great job as we expected but she did
emphasize later how one had to seriously concentrate on her tapping & not
be distracted by the audience during the performance. Our seating was 4
rows from the stage. We say our goodbyes for now.
We drive further East to Apache Junction & the Arizona Maverick campground
where we first parked our motorhome for a week in the fall of 2002. This
is where we met Ralph & Ruth. They were such friendly & nice folks that
we've been casually keeping in touch ever since. We visit them & their
gang for an hour then drive 55 miles back to the Rancho Ventura hangout.
Back @ 6:25pm.
8:10 Dinner: Leftover Tuna & noodle casserole with salad & bread.
Start watching the 3 hr DVD movie from library:"Mystic River" ...or should
I say continue watching as twice before on January 15 & 16, we started
watching this movie and ran out of time like we are doing tonight. We're
both too tired.
