Oh, how nice it was to be woke up this morning by the sun shining through the bedroom window right into my eyes!
It turned out to be a lovely warm day. What a change after the last few. And so nice to finally be back on the same time as the PDT. Now our family and friends in the NW are on the same time as we are. Arizona just does NOT do Daylight Savings Time, so the clocks stay the same all year around.
Forry had gotten quite involved in watching a golf tournament in Florida this afternoon that Tiger Woods ended up winning. It was finally over about four PM, so we went out for a long bike/trike ride. I think everyone in the park that had a bicycle was out riding. There was a BIG group of motorcycles that rode out this morning and there were lots of walkers as well.
Such a change from the last two days when there was hardly a soul to be seen on the streets. What a difference sunshine makes...
The Professional Bull Riders were in Tacoma, Washington at the Tacoma Dome this week. For some reason, they only broadcast today's rides. It would have been nice to see yesterday's rides as well since they were bucking mostly northwest bulls. Oh, well.

A Peaceable Sunday
We had good intentions of going to church in Glendale this morning, but I was not feeling well this morning, so we just decided to stay at home. We've had a very quiet day, mostly just reading the papers and a couple of books, doing puzzles and snacking.
We had watched Day 2 of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) yesterday evening, but CBSsports repeated it this afternoon and then went on to Day 3 and the Finals. Basically we had almost five hours of bull riding to watch. As long as we were laying low, it was a good way to spend the late afternoon and evening. Especially since it was the Bulls 9 and the Cowboys 0 in the Final!
It was another delightfully warm day here in Mesa. It was actually warm enough last night to sleep without blankets. But, it sounds like we are going to be blessed with more rain in the middle of next week. I don't care for the rain, but it bodes well for the prospect of desert flowers in the next month or so.

Baseball and Football and Bull Riding, Oh My!
It's one of those evenings on TV! The Mariners are playing in Texas with the game starting at 6 PM our time on ROOT Sports. The WSU Cougars are playing in Nevada against UNLV with the game starting at 6 PM on ESPN. And the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) are in Springfield, Missouri this weekend with the CBS Sports Network broadcasting the first night's riding at 7 PM.
As much as I dislike Forry's channel-surfing, this is one of those nights I have to admit I'm glad for it. We aren't supposed to covet, but it would be nice to have the kind of TV my Brother Pat has that allows you to have a second small channel showing in the corner of the screen.
It's been another quiet day. Forry did drive over to the nearby Freightliner dealer to make an appointment for an oil change for Auntie Violet on the day we're scheduled to leave Ponderosa Falls. We had tried to get it done the last time we were here, but they were booked solid.
After the couple of chilly nights we had earlier in the week, it has definitely warmed up again. However, we are seeing many RVers starting to make their way south. There's been a lot more turnover here at the park with several rigs only spending the night.
