Boy, today was a mixed bag!
This morning we went to Surprise, Arizona (only a few miles away from the RV park) for lunch with long-time friends from our Flying Farmer days. That was the good part! Bob and Paula had invited us to come over to their Arizona home for lunch and a tour of the Sun City Grande and Sun City West properties. They have a lovely southwest style home located right on the golf course. We had a great lunch, looked at all of the grand and great grand child pictures -- and the snow pictures from their farm in Harrington! -- then checked out all of the amenities offered by the Del Webb planned communities. They have gorgeous swimming pools and spas, all kinds of recreational clubs (jewelry, pottery, ceramics, sewing, quilting, etc.), bowling alleys. bocce ball, shuffleboard and tennis courts, inside walking paths and a cushioned outdoor walking path that even tells you how fast you are walking. If you said you were bored living here, it would have to be your own fault!
The bad part came this afternoon when Mike at the computer shop called and said it looked like the mother board on my computer was toast! The hard drive is okay and they can access it from another computer but not through mine... He said they could get a new mother board for about $400 plus another $100 to install it and re-input my data. With new laptops costing no more than that, it doesn't seem too smart to repair it. So this afternoon we checked out a couple of computer places and tonight I've been looking at on-line stuff on Forry's computer.
This is not something we had planned on doing -- in fact, we had been talking about replacing Forry's older laptop...
