Yesterday we went shopping for a piece of outdoor carpeting, and some sun screen. We feel that with our limited space we will need to use our "patio" area as an extra room. The only problem with that plan is that we get the PM sun and it's almost impossible to sit out there. With the awning down we'll attach the sun screen to the back end and partially along the front awning. Hopefully that will enable use to use the space. We also stopped in one of the huge RV dealers for a couple of things.
Jim and Amy gave us one of their old Yellow Pages and along with the Garmen navigation system we could actually get to the places we were going.
Today Jim, Amy, and Elizabeth picked us up early and all of us drove to Gilbert, AZ to meet Jeff, Lisa, and James for Betsy's birthday picnic. Much to our surprize and delight Carolyn and Gary dropped in for a visit. James has grown so much since we saw him last. He and Jamie took off almost immediately to purchase tickets for rides on the train, merry-go-round, and other rides. They also walked with Tipper over to the duck pond and waterfall. After eating and riding the merry-go-round for the third "last time" we all drove over to Jeff and Lisa's new house which will be ready in January. Very nice, and it even has a grandparents suite. There was some talk that since the grandparents would be using the suite perhaps they should furnish it.
It was a wonderful day.
We arrived home and did a little more work on the sun screen and talked to a man who was walking his dog. Betsy and I appear to be younger than most of our resident neighbors. Some of them can hear better than others. Here is an actual conversation.
Neighbor--"What's your dog's name?"
Jamie--"His name is Tipper."
Neighbor--"Hello Pepper."
Jamie--"No, his name is Tipper."
Neighbor--" Oh. Hello Skipper."
We have to post the obligatory photo's of the famous AZ sunsets. Here are the first one. Probably won't be more than two or three hundred more.

In the picture of Grandpaw and James it appears that a very serious conversation is taking place.
It was a wonderful day!
