Saturday, the 24th, we spent the afternoon preparing for Audrey's big 80th birthday party. We managed to make ourselves presentable and arrived at the beautiful country club in Palm Springs on time! It was a fantastic party with a wonderful vocalist, great food, wine and champagne to toast Audrey's 80 years. David and Kathy did a fantastic job of getting about 80 friends and relatives together for the event. We had such a good time. We were home early enough to play a few games of round rummy.
Sunday we got up about 6:30, packed up our belongings and said goodbye to our great condo...after our embarrassing display of screaming and wailing earlier in the week, we probably won't be able to get a unit there again! We were on the road by 8 a.m. and arrived back in Mesa by 12:30. As usual, the traffic on hwy 10 was horrendous so it was good to get home safely. We unpacked, did laundry and raced to O'Sullivans to watch the Sioux in their attempt to make it to the Frozen Four...unfortunately, the Gophers were too much for the Sioux that day so we ate and left before the end of the game. We were in bed pretty early Sunday night.
Monday morning Phyllis and I did some shopping at Superstition Springs mall. In the afternoon we went for massages. That was a first for me and I must admit I did enjoy it. Monday night we had our usual card games.
Tuesday we headed for the pool for a swim and some games of bananagrams. Phyllis packed and then we went to see "The Vow"--a movie based on a true story about a woman who had a trauma to the head and lost about 5 years of her memory. We all enjoyed the movie. We came home and actually made a dinner of baked tilapia, potatoes and salad. It tasted good to have something other than restaurant food! We played cards again and stayed up until 2 a.m. Very late!
Wednesday morning Phyllis and I played a few games of cribbage before we had to leave for the airport. Their plane left early afternoon. We got home, did laundry, cleaned house and collapsed early....VERY tired! It was a fun two weeks!
