Lunch at the Senior Center

The day started with taking Karen and George to pick up their truck that was repaired from last week. The problem was a fuel "lift pump" that went bad and everything is now OK for them to travel again. Karen had asked if we would be interested in going to lunch at the Senior Center in town, so we agreed to go at noon. The Senior Center is, of course, staffed with volunteers and it was a very good lunch. We had chicken, vegetables, scalloped potatoes, a drink and a dessert for - $3 per person. It's definitely one of the best deals in town even though it will never get a 5 star rating as a restaurant.

The first couple to leave for the season departed this morning. It happens to be a couple that has a home in Surprise, AZ, at Arizona Traditions which is a retirement community just down the street from Sun City Grand. He (Lou) worked in the Comfort Inn here, and his wife (Cheryl) worked with Josie in the gift shop. They are heading to Pahrump, NV, where he will be taking a pistol shooting class and they will then head home to AZ. Our neighbors on one side of us (Bill and Linda) will be leaving tomorrow AM and we will begin seeing more people leaving as we approach the end of the month.

There were 3 more tours in yesterday which made for another slow day at the front desk, but that will change today. There are no tours coming in and we have 51 cabins available to rent, so we will be very busy. It's our Friday though, so we are anxious to have our play days beginning tomorrow. We are thinking that, if the weather cooperates, we will take a final trip to Yellowstone. We'll know in the morning...
