On Wednesday we rode into Casa Grande in D & A's Lincoln town car (lots of room for four with a big trunk). They did laundry then we went to lunch where (can you believe this?), we ran into my friend from Shelton, Shirley and her S. O., Skip, also having lunch. They are "snowbirds" and come south to Florence, AZ every winter and I had planned to call her sometime in the next week. What a great surprise! It really is a small, small world! After lunch we went grocery shopping to replenish our fresh food supply. A and D have been a good influence on us as we've been co-cooking dinner with them every night since we've been traveling together. Fortunately, we had a freezer full (we did have good intentions ... just been lazy) and a pantry filled to overflowing so we've held up our end pretty good. That night we were all pooped from shopping until we dropped so soup and sandwiches was the welcome fare. Last night, Ardella cooked a huge package of chicken pieces, picked the bones clean and made chicken tacos. Mmmmm, good! I made a fresh fruit compote as my contribution.
The team has split up today. D & A have gone off with our friends, John and Carol (also from Shelton) and we're going in to Casa Grande to do our laundry and a long list of other things that are needing to be done. Being retired "nomads" has a tendency to encourage our mañana attitude and that's not ALL bad!
