January is almost over - hard to believe the time has gone so quickly. We've seen the Wayne Newton show (he rates a 5 out of 10, great musicians and back up singers but his voice is about gone!), visited big RV Show and Gem show and enjoyed great weather here).
Our visit to RV Show was a very busy day, beginning with a wake up call at 5 am so we could be on the road at 6 am with friends who were driving. Ugh, most of you know how I hate early mornings!!! Anyway, it is about a 2 hour drive from Mesa. At least we stopped for breakfast on the way. Thousands of people were there at the show. Best part was getting to see one of my high school classmates. Chuck is a vendor for his business that makes display plaques and frames -he invented and holds the patent on the frames. Business was very heavy so we had little time to actually visit with each other, but it was great seeing him and also meeting his wife June. Chuck made our Dolphin plaque for our RV a couple of years ago. Anyway, it was a long day in the sun.
Dee's big project this week was making a beaded watch band with glass beads and Swarovski crystal beads. The instructor and other class students are all going bead shopping this coming Tuesday to find supplies so they can make more of the beaded watchbands. These are fast to put together once you have the supplies.
On the 21st, Dee traveled to Tucson (40 snowbirds on the charter bus) for the annual Quilt Show. Beautifully displayed quilts were abundant and several quilt-related vendors were on hand so the time was well spent. There was also an American Native Art show going on at the Convention Center which had beautiful artwork and jewelry on display. Well worth the time to see.
Saturday the Workampers got together for a picnic at one of the couples' site. Ron cooked the hot dogs and everyone brought a covered dish and snacks. About 40 people were there. Temperature was in the 70's so we couldn't have ordered a better day to have some fun.
Next Saturday is the annual Gourd Festival in Casa Grande and Dee is going over with the tour bus company for the day. She has 2 high school classmates that are going to meet her so they can spend the day together. They will have a great time.
Enjoy the rest of the month. Hope your weather warms up if you are in one of the cold zones.
