This and That

WOW.  The weather here this week has been wonderful.  Like I expected it to be all winter.  Highs in the low 70's.  It's been a busy week.  We have had dinner with friends several times this week, which is always great fun.  We laughed and laughed, their daughter joined us and said she had forgotten how it was being with the four of us.  I think she meant it as a compliment, I took it that way anyway.  

One day I joined a friend at her card club and we played all afternoon. I love cards and hubby is just  not that into it. Once in a great while he will feel sorry for me and play a game or so but not nearly enough for me.

Other dear friends of ours have joined us here in Arizona for two weeks. They're also full time RV'rs so they too roam the same areas of the country and we always seem to be able to meet up somewhere along the way.  We've had dinner with them at their place and they'll come out to see us next week.  The following week we are going to take a few days and join them in Las Vegas.  It's been years since we've been there. It has changed so much I probably won't even recognize most of it.  Most of the hotels that used to be our haunts our gone, very few remain.  We were married there at a chapel next to Circus Circus which I always said reminded me very much of our wedding.  Some day I may post the story - looking back it's hilarious, at the time, not soooo funny.

Valentine's Day was pretty low key for us.  We always try to avoid going out to dinner on holidays.  It always seems like a good idea until we get there and then the lightbulb goes on as to why we do it so seldom.  We grilled filets, tails and asparagus. It was delicious but sorry to say that was the only tail  reddened that evening.  I had several glasses of  proseco and it took over about nine and I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. 

It's also been a week of good news with Bas feeling well enough to post again, Minelle's hubby finally recovering nicely and Love Spanks being such a success.  I enjoyed reading all of the stories and can't wait until they do that again.  My thanks to the writers who participated and to those who contributed the great prizes.  I was lucky enough to win an amazon gift certificate from Sue Lyndon and a pre-release copy of Ana's new book, The Way Home. On that same note, I want to thank everybody for stopping by and wishing us a Happy Valentine's Day and leaving a wonderful comment on my reprinted story.  I love getting comments, it's like my fifteen minutes of fame.

I'm off to enjoy another pretty day.  Hope you are able to do the same.  Tomorrow's story is a cute one. I think you will enjoy it.  Until then, see you later for more Aimless Ramblings.
