Thursday 2-26

Today was a relaxing day. Warm, sunny and light winds. After our extreme workout day yesterday we hung low. Weekend weather is predicting more wind, some rain and much cooler temperatures. So took advantage of the pool.

Spent the afternoon poolside. A couple of boys arrived later and they came from Chicago. Very cold..4...and it took 30 minutes to de ice the plane. Arrived two hours late. They thought this weather was great.

Dan is continuing to look for rental next year. Would like to try out Sunflower, but hard to find rentals.

Wednesday 2-25

Sunny day, t-shirt and jeans day. Excercise today, bike and a bit of elipicial with some weight training. We had an appointment with second realtor, had a delay of an hour. Dan decided he wanted to walk to Mona lisa place after parking at Walmart, but we walked in wrong direction for a bit. Met up with the realtor and saw 5 properties. Continental ranch in sunflower a little north and west of tuscon, more views of moutains, very active community and spoke with a couple that loved the area. Did not really find a house we liked. They were a bit more. So we will have to keep an eye out on properties. Most selling very close to listed price.

We went to Shepard of the Hills church for Lenten services. Nice church and friendly members. Guest Pastor was from church that Hannah will be observing next week. We did not stay for soup and sandwich as we wanted to try out an exercise program at fancy mall near our place. Meet me at La Catecita. About 50 people, warm up exercises, and then we did the doctor walk where we walked a mile and did scattered exercises. It was a lot of fun. Dan won a drawing, tea and mug from mall tea place. Got a few freebies and signed up for drawing. Probably will be sore tomorrow..close to 14000 steps.

Tuesday 2-24

Today we met Micki and Long Reality. We saw total of 5 homes and give us an idea of areas noted online. Sarhetia clubhouse and activites seem to be the right choice. One thing we or I wanted was sun exposure during winter months when we would be present.

Much cooler day with scattered rain showers...in the 50's..felt that way if not in sunshine like yesterday.

Fun conversing with daughters via messenger.

One more day with different realtor tomorrow. Thinking about going to rodeo on Friday and barn dance to follow. Winds to pick up and showers this weekend and a bit cooler next week ...60's. But that is better than weather back home.

Monday 2-23-15

Our first full day ...I got to see the sunrise. Our balcony faces east. Drank my tea, ate breakfast eating peanut butter as we did not have milk.
We did check out the exercise room, exercised on bike. We then found a gas station and went to Trader Joes and got some food. We also went to Walmart to get a pur water pitcher due tongue taste of clorine in the water.
We sat by the pool for a bit and then used the hot tub.
Dinner and then a short walk to nearby mall at sunset.
Evening of reading.
