Last week we were able to spend time with our friends Colleen and Dennis from Ritzville who were selling their lovely jewelry in Casa Grande. Yesterday I got a text message from Madeline wondering if we could get together for dinner tonight as they were here in Phoenix. Madeline grew up on a farm a few miles down the road from Forry. She recently retired from her many years as a teacher in Moses Lake. Her husband Bernie had been attending irrigation meetings near the airport while Madeline had been enjoying some shopping.
Anyhow, Bernie finished up with his meetings and we arranged to meet them at Rancho del Tia Rosa, our favorite Mexican restaurant. They were on their way back to their rental at Lake Havasu where they are spending the winter.
We not only had a wonderful early dinner, but also got caught up on the news about each other's families and mutual friends.
Like me, Madeline is tired of cold weather and snow. We commiserated with each other over arthritic joints and how much better we feel in the sunshine. (Though today was not a good example as we woke up to rain showers.) It will be nice to see if more of our friends and relatives end up wintering in this part of the world...
I had a nice phone visit today with Sister Sherry. In spite of having a visitor who came down with the flu, Sherry luckily seems to have avoided it. I would NOT wish that nasty stuff on anyone!
