Interesting, just realized yesterday's posting appears to be Sunday. It was actually 10:30 on Saturday night here. But being it is set up from home it shows up as 12:30 Eastern Standard Time. Didn't think about that happening.

So this is Sunday. Had a great day. We went golfing at a real nice golf course. We golfed with a couple from Wyoming. They were very nice. It was interesting golfing with these new clubs. I had taken the camera, but considering we were golfing with another couple I didn't take pictures. The rough in desert courses is very brown, with the fairway being very green. Actually quite beautiful.
Had a beautiful day. Temperature 61 degrees, no breeze so it felt good. There was patio yard sales today. Nice walk around the park talking to people. (good exercise). We took our golf clubs and went to the driving range. First time either of us had hit with these new clubs after the theft in October.

Went to the movie tonight. Seen Country Strong with Tim McGraw. This was a great show.

Our campground resorts has a closed gate as of 7:00 p.m. You have to enter a code in order to get inside after that time. Really nice to know that only those that are staying here can get in during the night. We are in a very good area, but this is just the membership resort security.

Bob hadn't ordered his new glasses since seeing the eye doctor before Christmas. He had read he could get almost free glasses with our BCBS/Medicare plus insurance after the first of the year. So we looked up a eye doctor's office to get his new glasses. They will have them in 3 days to one week.

While driving around we found the golf course that we had a coupon for; pay for 1 and 1/2 for the other. Beautiful golf course, green fairway and brown rough. We have a tee time for Sunday. Looking forward to getting out on the golf course. Seeing neither of us has used our new clubs, after having to replace the old ones from the theft, we are going tomorrow to driving range.

We came back and sat outside at our trailer in the sun, beautiful weather. Still in the low to mid 60's. That is great!!!

Today was laundry day, that isn't fun. But otherwise it has been a nice day. Little cloudy for Arizona, but the sun shines at times. The temperature has been in the low 60's.

While at the laundry here in the park, we sat outside in the area that the pool is located. This is a big patio area too. There was actually women in the pool exercising to music. Not a bad idea, but low 60's, I don't think so!!! They said it was warm water, just don't stand up in the air. LOL

Today we went driving around for awhile. We have seen so many cotton fields across Texas and now in Arizona too. You always think of cotton in the south from us, but don't realize it is grown out west too.

Bob has wanted to go into a field and take a stalk. This is already picked cotton, just never gets picked clean. So we stop and he drives into a lane, he classified it as a dirt drive. Gets out and goes across a "log" that has been laid down across a ditch (no I don't think it was for people like him). Picks the cotton and crosses the ditch again. My feelings was thank goodness he has made it back across this log. Now he starts to move the truck. My thinking, he will back out of where he drove into. Oh no, he tries to turn around, soft dirt, has to put the truck in four wheel drive. Phew, we made it!!!!

Here is the "cotton picker".

This is walking back from the cotton field. He is crossing a log that was put across the ditch type area.
